DH Potsdam Talk: Capturing Participatory Culture (A. Glawion, 24.10)
by Luca Giovannini 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, The Digital Humanities Network at the University of Potsdam invites you to another 'Code & Culture' online lecture on October 24. Our guest this time is Prof. Dr. Anastasia Glawion, Junior Professor for Digital Literature and Methods at the FAU University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. Title: *Capturing Participatory Culture: A Network Analysis of Fanfiction Communities and Reader Interactions* Abstract: /Over the past 20 years, fanfiction writing has been on the rise. This fan-driven practice presents an ideal case for digital literary studies, as the texts are digitized, widely available, and challenge the status quo of the canon. Many fanfiction scholars have underlined the importance of the participatory aspect in studying the phenomenon. In this presentation, I show how interactions on fanfiction websites can be investigated through metadata-based network analysis. This approach provides fresh insights into textual reception and reader engagement, while offering a more comprehensive perspective on how fanfiction communities interact with texts and reshape them. As a result of this process, various interpretive communities emerge, each with its own dynamic. Some span across multiple fandoms, while others demonstrate different perspectives on a single canon, such as communities in the “Harry Potter” universe where a distinctive cluster focused on Hermione becomes visible./ The talk will take place online on *October 24 at 18:00 CEST*. Please register here to get the Zoom link: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/digital-humanities/aktivitaeten/code-and-cult… Best wishes, The DH Potsdam team

"Text as Data": Potsdam Spring School in Digital Humanities
by Daniil Skorinkin 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, From March 31 to April 5,2025, we are holding a week-long text-focused DH Spring School <https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/digital-humanities/activities/dh-potsdam-spri…> in Potsdam, Germany. The School is aimed at students and early-career scholars* who are beginning to explore DigitalHumanities (DH) and are interested in working with textual sources. Participation is free. The concept of the DH school While traditional hermeneutic approaches remaincrucial in the humanities, computational methods offer additional perspectives for textual analysis. The Spring Schoolaims to guide participants through the process of formulating a research question about a textual source to developing a comprehensive research project. The School provides anintroduction to several computational methods and offers an opportunity for the students to reflect on the prospects of applying those methods to their own research projects/interests. "Text as Data" features intensive discussions, workshops, and lectures tailored for students across allhumanities disciplines who are interested in computational approaches to text. The focus of the week-long Spring School is on the following themes: * (mindful) Research design, operationalisation and corpus selection * Topic modeling * Stylometry * Mapping of textual data * Network analysis Who's doing the DH school The school is co-organised by the DH Network ofthe University of Potsdam and the Department of Digital Humanities and Social Studies of the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. Lecturers and workshop organizers are leading researchers from DH and NLP institutions in Berlin, Erlangen, Krakow, Potsdam, Prague, and Trier. Thevenue of the School is the University of Potsdam (Campus Am Neuen Palais). The preliminary timetable will be published soon on the School webpage <https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/digital-humanities/activities/dh-potsdam-spri…> . How to apply Those interested in attending theschool are welcome to submit their applications via the following link <https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/digital-humanities/aktivitaeten/potsdam-dh-sc…> until November 30th, 2024.

Four-year post-doctoral position in computer science / digital humanities at the University of Helsinki, Finland
by Hiippala, Tuomo J 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Dear all, I'm looking to recruit a post-doctoral researcher in computer science or digital humanities to my ERC-funded project, which started in May 2024: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/multimodality/a-foundation-for-em… The project develops novel methods and resources for studying multimodality, or how human communication naturally combines multiple 'modes' of expression. These methods and resources are used to develop empirically founded theories of multimodal communication in the domain of everyday cultural artefacts. The data studied in the project includes, for example, school textbooks, user-generated explanation videos on social media, news broadcasts, instruction manuals and online newspapers. This is a fixed-term position for 48 months, starting in January 2025 or as agreed, based in the Department of Languages at the University of Helsinki, Finland. The deadline for applications is October 21, 2024. RESPONSIBILITIES: The post-doctoral researcher is responsible for developing new methods for querying the multimodal corpora created in the project, which describe the structure of multimodal discourse using graphs that combine crowdsourced human insights and vector representations. QUALIFICATIONS: The appointee must hold a doctoral degree in digital humanities, humanities computing, language technology, computer science or a related field, and have a keen interest in multimodality. Previous experience of working with knowledge graphs or information retrieval is essential. For more information, see the full announcement here: https://jobs.helsinki.fi/job-invite/3513/ If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

IMC 2025: Call for contributions to a strand "Digital Approaches to Late Medieval Charters"
by Georg Vogeler 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

"Worlds of Learning" Through Digital Approaches to Late Medieval Charters The Department of Digital Humanities at the University of Graz, host of the European Research Council-funded project "From Digital to Distant Diplomatics" (DiDip), invites submissions for a series of sessions at the International Medieval Congress 2025, exploring the conference theme "Worlds of Learning" through innovative Digital Humanities approaches to late mediaeval charters (c. 1300-1500). Charters are "Worlds of Learning" - for contemporaries learning about legal activities and status, and for mediaeval studies scholars, sources of their own learning. Digital methods provide entirely new learnings: on the charters themselves and on the actors writing, using, and keeping charters. Our sessions aim to demonstrate how computational methods can fundamentally transform and expand our understanding of documentary practices and knowledge transmission across Europe. We welcome papers on the following topics: 1. Computer Vision and Medieval Charters: New Perspectives on Visual Learning * How can computer vision techniques reveal patterns in the visual aspects of charters across regions and time? * Applications of machine learning algorithms to identify and analyse layout, script styles, and graphical elements (seals, monograms) in large datasets of digitised charters. 2. Natural Language Processing and Charter Formulas: Tracing Textual Learning Networks * Computational analysis of charter texts using NLP techniques to uncover patterns in formulaic language, legal terminology, and scribal practices. * Exploration of networks of textual learning and the dissemination of documentary conventions across linguistic and cultural boundaries. 3. Data Visualisation and Medieval Charter Networks: Mapping Knowledge Circulation * Application of network analysis, GIS mapping, and other visualisation methods to represent relationships between chanceries, scribes, and document types. * New insights into the "worlds of learning" in charter production through data visualisation techniques. 4. Digital Methodologies and Medieval Charters: Innovative Approaches to Documentary Learning * How can digital editions enhance our understanding of charter creation, use, and preservation? What insights can database creation and management offer into the organisation and retrieval of mediaeval documentary knowledge? * Applications of XML/TEI encoding for semantic analysis of charter content and structure. * Exploration of linked data approaches to connect charter information across different collections and archives. By applying state-of-the-art computational methods to the study of late mediaeval charters, we aim to contribute to a more interconnected and nuanced understanding of European documentary cultures and the transmission of specialised knowledge in this period. Submission Guidelines: * Please submit a 100-word abstract of your proposed contribution and a brief CV. * Send submissions to didip(a)uni-graz.at <mailto:[email protected]>(Subject: IMC2025) * Deadline: September 16th, 2024 We look forward to your contributions to these exciting intersections of medieval studies and digital humanities!
