Dear colleagues, allow me to share this call for participation with you: Computer Vision has become a very relevant skill for many Digital Humanists, but it is hard to distinguish how we can best budget our time and efforts to engage with this new technology. The 3-day school "Computer Vision for Digital Humanists" - hosted by the Centre for Information Modelling at the University of Graz and funded by CLARIAH-AT - will provide a conceptual introduction to the processes involved, coupled with hands-on exercises that focus on the ways that we, as humanists, can curate content and manage metadata to make the best use of new tools available. For further information, see https://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/en/institute/events/call-for-p… and https://static.uni-graz.at/fileadmin/gewi-zentren/Informationsmodellierung/… . How to apply: To be considered for participation in this workshop please submit a one page CV and letter of interest (one page max.) addressing the following: * Why are you interested in attending this workshop? * How will the skills learned improve your scholarship? * What is your academic background and research specialization? * Do you have access to funding for travel to Graz and accommodation? Application materials can be emailed to sean.winslow(a)uni-graz.at<mailto:sean.winslow@uni-graz.at> The application deadline is 6. January 2023. The School itself will be hosted on-site at the University of Graz, February 8-10, 2023.

CFP: ELO 2023 Coimbra (Jan 20; July 12-15, 2023)
by Alexandra Saum Pascual 16 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, The call for the 2023 Electronic Literature Organization Conference in Coimbra, Portugal is here! Please, help us spread the word. Looking forward to seeing you in Coimbra, Alex Link to the call https://eliterature.org/2022/11/cfp-elo-2023-coimbra-jan-20-july-12-15-2023/ pdf. also attached CFP: ELO 2023 COIMBRA (JAN 20; JULY 12-15, 2023) ELECTRONIC LITERATURE ORGANIZATION 2023 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND MEDIA ARTS SHOW *OVERCOMING DIVIDES: ELECTRONIC LITERATURE AND SOCIAL CHANGE* *JULY 12-15, 2023 – COIMBRA, PORTUGAL* Join us this summer for four days of digital art and scholarship at the ELO 2023 Conference and Media Arts Show in beautiful Coimbra, Portugal, the 12th to the 15th of July. The 2023 conference, “Overcoming Divides: Electronic Literature and Social Change,” advocates the dismantlement of economic, political, linguistic, and cultural barriers, focusing on the relation between art and society, as well as on the subversive potential of electronic literature. Art and literature compulsively respond to undergoing socio-political transformations. Whether overtly committed to social causes or inevitably engulfed by waves of change, writers and artists are influenced by dramatic shifts motivated by local or global issues such as climate change, economic crisis, military conflicts, and repressive or coercive government policies. The field of electronic literature, whose continuous reconfiguration is deeply intertwined with technological advancements, is no exception to this pattern. Equipped with the pervasiveness of network technology, as well as with software that can analyze and portray reality with the utmost detail, electronic literature is harnessed with adequate tools to voice environmental and social concerns and to expose oppressive and corrupt regimes. Highly experimental and focused on an introspective journey that aims to explore the creative amplitude of emerging technologies, electronic literature’s self-reflexive nature is also frequently mobilized to defy normative perspectives over literature and art, as well as to challenge deep-rooted cultural misconceptions. During this conference, we aim to explore how electronic literature uses its critical media approach, as well as its close affinity with computation, to assume a socially engaged stance. In a time when walls are being raised once again, this conference examines electronic literature’s role in the dismantlement of new and old barriers between people. ELO23 will be held in a national monument (Convento São Francisco), overlooking the University of Coimbra as well as Coimbra’s Uptown and Downtown areas, both designated World Heritage by UNESCO in 2013. Challenging the social asymmetry represented by the uptown/downtown divide, ELO23 will be extended from the university to the entire city center. Performances will be opened to the public, and exhibitions will take place at different locations in the city, thus integrating ELO Conference into Coimbra’s rich cultural life. Remote (online) participation will be limited to the scholarly dimension of the conference. We welcome scholarly and artistic proposals that explore a connection between electronic literature and the following themes, among others: · the role of literature in social change; · collaborative platforms and activist software; · digital humanities and memory preservation (archive); · environmental damage caused by digital technologies; · the impact of climate change; · language barriers, translation and linguistic diversity; · disabilities and accessibility; · mental health, trauma and cognitive diversity; · social and economic inequality; · digital literacy and societal transformation; · gender divide and identity diversity; · migrations and border enforcement; · hybridity, recombination and multilinearity as aesthetics of subversion; · documentary forms and nonfiction narrative. *ORGANIZERS *Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra (FLUC) *Partners and Sponsors *Center for Portuguese Literature (CLP) Instituto de Comunicação da NOVA (ICNOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa Programa de Doutoramento em Materialidades da Literatura, Universidade de Coimbra Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP) Câmara Municipal de Coimbra Exploratório – Centro Ciência Viva de Coimbra Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra Berkeley Center for New Media *HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS* All proposals will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process.

Calling all PhD students: Survey on DH training needs
by Weis, Joelle, Dr. 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

[we apologise for cross-posting] Dear colleagues, the DARIAH Working Group "Community Engagement" is currently conducting a short survey among PhD students in the context of a small research project. The project aims at identifying DH training needs for PhD students from various disciplines and with different levels of expertise. As diverse as the field of DH is, as diverse are the training needs for students entering the field from various backgrounds. If you are a PhD student using DH tools or interested in using them, we would love to hear from you about your training needs, skills and awareness of existing resources: https://survey.academiccloud.de/index.php/832776?lang=en Participating in our survey might be a possibility for you to attend a workshop in Mainz, Germany, for in-person focus group interviews and joint evaluation of existing training material on 2 and 3 February 2023. In the selection process for the workshop, we will consider various disciplines, different levels of expertise, and individuals' availability and willingness to attend the workshop. In-person interviews will help develop a more complete picture of the training needs of researchers in this phase of their career. If you encounter any issues or have questions about the survey, please feel free to contact us: community_engagement(a)dariah.eu<mailto:community_engagement@dariah.eu> We are of course very grateful if you spread the survey in your networks. Many thanks for your help! Michael, Špela, and Joëlle https://dariahre.hypotheses.org/working-groups/community-engagement
