by Teresa Torcello 09 Dec '25

09 Dec '25

Dear List Members, We are pleased to announce the following Call for Papers for the International Conference* “Translating Latin in the Contemporary World”*, to be held in June, 11-12, 2026, at the University of Bologna (Italy). The conference will address the topic of translation of Latin texts into modern languages – both natural and computer-based – by combining theoretical, historical, and cultural perspectives on translation. The goal is to bring together scholars from translation studies, classics, modern languages, comparative literature, linguistics, and digital humanities, to foster an interdisciplinary discussion of how the translation of Latin continues to shape the cultural and intellectual landscapes of the contemporary world. The conference will feature two keynote lectures by *Alexandra Lianeri *(Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and *Siri Nergaard* (University of South-Eastern Norway). We invite proposals that address the topic of translation of Latin texts into modern languages from a variety of perspectives, including but not limited to the following areas: - Challenges arising from the translation of Latin into modern languages – such as linguistic categories absent from either source or target language, stylistic and rhetorical features, or translation of *realia* - Case studies of Latin translations that have played a key role in the development of a given national literature or intellectual tradition - Instances of ideological or cultural manipulation of Latin texts in their modern translations - Comparative analyses of multiple translations of the same Latin text into a given language - The impact of digital humanities, machine translation, and artificial intelligence on the translation and interpretation of Latin texts - Didactic perspectives on the use of AI-based tools for the automatic translation of Latin texts - Pedagogical perspectives on translation as a hermeneutic tool for learning Latin - Cognitive approaches to translation and their relevance to the study of classical languages. *Contributions focusing on less commonly studied languages and traditions are particularly welcome.* Please send abstracts of up to 300 words for 20-minute papers (followed by a 10-minute discussion). Abstracts may be submitted in Italian, English, French, German, or Spanish; however, the working languages of the conference will be Italian and English. Submissions will be subject to blind review by the scientific committee. Please send your proposal to translating.latin(a)gmail.com by *15 January 2026*, attaching an anonymous abstract and including the following information in the body of the email: paper title, author’s name, affiliation, and email address for correspondence. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 February 2026.

02 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to a workshop/poster slam organized by the ADHO Special Interest Group Pedagogy and Training as part of the DH2026 conference in Daejon. Please note that this event will take place as a workshop in the pre-conference program – all poster submissions for this workshop will be reviewed by the SIG leaders, but are independent of poster submissions for the DH2026 conference! The DH Pedagogy and Training SIG will hold a Pedagogy Poster Slam at the 2026 DH Conference in Daejeon, South Korea. The Pedagogy Poster Slam will take place during the SIG’s reserved slot during one of the conference’s two workshop days, either Monday, 27 July 2026, or Tuesday, 28 July 2026. Posters will either focus on a) a specific assignment for a DH or DH-inflected course or b) an entire course. During the workshop, participants will first participate in the Slam, where they will have a maximum of 120 seconds to discuss one aspect of their assignment or course. Once the participants have all spoken, the rest of the workshop will be devoted to a conventional poster session, where attendees can engage with the presenters at their posters. Presenters will be encouraged to bring print copies of their assignment/syllabus to distribute to attendees. All conference attendees will be welcome to attend the workshop and slam. (Plus, there will be food!) Call for Proposals The SIG Conveners invite all members of the DH community to submit proposals for the Pedagogy Poster Slam. Proposals will include · 150 words or fewer about the context of the assignment, course, or workshop · 200 words or fewer about the assignment, course, or workshop · An upload of either the assignment or the course syllabus Proposals should be submitted via the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/zdkNEHXPDppXQz3E6. Proposals are due by the end of 5 January 2026. Accepted participants will be notified not later than 5 February 2026. Proposals will be peer reviewed by the SIG Conveners. N.B. Please be aware that posters submitted to the pre-conference SIG Pedagogy Poster Slam are distinct from the DH2026 poster submission category. The Program Committee for DH2026 has indicated that you are welcome to submit posters to both the main conference as well as to this SIG workshop, although the submission format is significantly different. Depositing Posters Following the Conference, the SIG Conveners will create and curate a collection of the posters and associated pedagogical documents.

Call for Abstracts: Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World - SA4AW2026
by Rachel Milio 24 Nov '25

24 Nov '25

---apologies for crossposting--- Call for Abstracts: Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World - SA4AW2026 May 7th-8th, 2026, in Rethymno, Crete (Greece) We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the 2nd Conference in Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World, taking place in Rethymno on May 7th-8th, 2026, is now open. The deadline is February 1st, 2026. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded) via EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026>. The conference is organised by the TALOS Centre in AI4SSH of the University of Crete (Horizon ERA Chair TALOS AI4SSH ID: 101087269) in collaboration with the Department of Philology, University of Crete. Learn more at the conference webpage<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/events/conferences/semantic-annotation-for-the-…>. Contact the organizers: sa4aw.contact(a)gmail.com Description We invite proposals for the 2nd Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World (SA4AW) conference, which examines the role of semantic annotation in dialogue with hybrid AI approaches, large language models (LLMs), deep learning, and knowledge graphs in the study of the ancient world and cultural heritage. Semantic annotation—whether manual, automated, or human-in-the-loop—enables the identification and linking of concepts, entities, and relationships, transforming raw textual and visual data into structured, interoperable knowledge. At a moment when LLMs can generate fluent interpretations but require grounding in domain-specific context, semantic annotation and knowledge graphs provide essential transparency, precision, and reusability. We welcome contributions that showcase methods, tools, case studies, theoretical reflections, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. In line with FAIR and Linked Open Data principles, the conference encourages open and accessible research practices. Conference proceedings will be published in open access online format. We encourage proposals on the following themes: * Semantic annotation in the era of LLMs (hybrid workflows, grounding, explainability) * Ontology-driven annotation and knowledge modelling * Knowledge graphs and Linked Open Data for ancient world studies * Human-in-the-loop annotation: methods, strategies, and pedagogy * Automatic and semi-automatic annotation pipelines * Cross-lingual and multilingual annotation (Ancient Greek, Latin, and historical languages) * Annotation and disambiguation of ancient places, persons, and cultural entities * NER and entity linking for ancient languages * RDF-based and ontology-aware digital editions * Standards, interoperability, and data sustainability (FAIR principles) * Platforms, tools, and reproducible workflows for annotation and data reuse Submission details: We invite proposals from all scholars, junior and senior, working in the topic areas of the conference. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded, free format). Submissions will be reviewed via double-blind peer review through EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026> . Paper presentations will be 20 minutes long, with extra time for questions and discussion. The working language of the conference is English. A longer version of accepted papers will be published in an edited volume after the conference. More details about the edited volume are forthcoming. Important dates: * 1st announcement of the Call for abstracts: November 21st, 2025 * Deadline for submission: February 1st, 2026 * Notification of acceptance to authors: February 20th, 2026 * Deadline for confirmation of participation by accepted authors: February 28th, 2026 * Submission of camera-ready abstract: April 1st, 2026 * Conference dates: May 7th-8th, 2026 * Submission of camera-ready version (of final paper): December 1st, 2026 * Publication of Edited Volume: July 2027 Rachel Milio (she/her) PhD Candidate of TALOS-AI4SSH<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/>, Semantic Annotation of Texts TALOS Address: University of Crete Research Center (UCRC), Level 1-Building Γ- Room Γ2 Gallos Campus, University of Crete, Rethymno, GR 74100 Office Phone: +30 28310 77141 Mobile Phone: +30 69816 31347 University Email: philp0997(a)philology.uoc.gr
