*apologies for cross-postings* Please circulate this to all scholars who may be interested. We are happy to announce the first edition of DH4MA, the International workshop on tangible and intangible heritage digitization to promote marginal areas and rural development. Title DH4MA - (Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas) About The Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas (DH4MA) workshop aims to investigate the state of the art of tangible and intangible heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas and their accessibility. DH4MA will be held in conjunction with the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/> and is organized in the framework of the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. The digital divide issue affects several areas all over the world, including those that despite being part of the most developed countries, are behind the times of the digital revolution. Museums, libraries and centres of culture located in these areas often cannot foster their cultural heritage. In light of the above, Digital Humanities (DH) techniques represent an opportunity not to be missed to raise awareness of their cultural heritage and to overcome the digital divide. The consciousness of the digital divide, poor visibility and the need to improve communication strategies emerged during the covid-19 lockdown, when several cultural institutions made their cultural heritage available online (Cicerchia et al., 2021; Agostino et al., 2020; Fresh, 2021), allowing people to enjoy it in a new different way (e.g. Guggenheim Museum of New York <https://www.guggenheim.org/group-visits>, The Paul Getty Museum of Los Angeles <https://artsandculture.google.com/streetview/the-j-paul-getty-museum/cwFdGY…>, The Uffizi Gallery of Florence <https://www.virtualuffizi.com/map-%26-virtual-tour.html>, The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam <https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close>). Nevertheless, small centres of culture were not able to offer their collections online. Only a few of them were able to make a real revolution (Roblek et al., 2021), also by exploiting cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines (e.g. computer science and librarians, humanists and game creators) to promote tangible and intangible heritage. Topics of interest Relevant topics for the DH4MA workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Cultural heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas; - Best practices to reduce the digital divide in marginal and rural areas; - Investigation and evaluation of the degree of digitization in marginal and rural areas; - DH techniques to promote cultural heritage; - Promoting cultural heritage through gamification techniques; - Research cooperation between people/teams with different expertise to promote cultural heritage; - Research projects aiming to reduce the digital divide; - Research projects aimed at promoting cultural heritage through cooperation between scholars and local associations Research questions Bringing together scholars dealing with different research fields, the DH4MA aims to answer (not only) the following questions: - Do exist examples of tangible and intangible heritage digitization that can be defined as best practices? - Which are the best strategies implemented at the global level to reduce the digital divide between marginal and rural areas and most developed areas? - Which are the best examples of cultural heritage promotion through the collaboration between people/teams with different backgrounds? - Is it possible to consider cultural heritage promotion through DH techniques as an opportunity to fight the depopulation phenomenon? How? Submission instructions Contributions must be submitted in English and represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Contributions will be evaluated by the Program Committee according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the DH4MA workshop. Contributions must be sent via email at dhformarginalareas(a)gmail.com by Wednesday, 12th April 2023 Sunday, 23rd April 2023 and must not exceed 1,500 words in length (not including the bibliography). The publication of a selection of contributions from the DH4MA workshop is planned. After the workshop, authors of the selected contributions will be asked to send an extended version. Further details on the publication will follow soon. Submissions will be evaluated based on - Reviewers’ general recommendation for acceptance; - Level of innovation of the contribution to DH subject area(s); - Appropriateness of the state of the art presented (including a bibliography); - Clarity and appropriateness of the research methodology described; - Clear and comprehensible submission Venue The DH4MA workshop will take place on-site at the University of Graz, Austria, in the framework of the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/>. Further details on the venue will follow soon. Best contribution award The contribution presenting the best use of DH techniques to promote cultural heritage in marginal and rural areas will be rewarded. The prize is sponsored by the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. All the Program Committee members will have the right to vote for the best contribution. Important dates Submission deadline - 12 April 2023 23 April 2023 Notification of acceptance - 3 May 2023 Workshop - 10 or 11 July 2023 (TBA) In line with the DH2023 conference theme (i.e. Collaboration as opportunity), contributions presenting successful cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines to promote cultural heritage are highly requested.

SIG-DLS Workshop (bursaries update and new deadline)
by Simone Rebora 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Dear all, We are happy to announce that the SIG-DLS bursaries for the DH2023 Workshop have been increased to the amount of 500 Euros each. Please spread the news! See the updated Call here <https://dls.hypotheses.org/1315> and below (with new deadline 26 April). All the best, Simone Rebora (for the SIG-DLS steering committee) === *DH2023 Workshop – SIG-DLS Seven Years on* Seven years have passed since the constitution of the ADHO Special Interest Group “Digital Literary Stylistics” (SIG-DLS). In the meantime, the research field has changed, with the advent of new methodologies (drawing on the constantly growing field of computational linguistics) and the affirmation of emerging theories and definitions (such as the modeling paradigm in “computational literary studies”). At the same time, some aspects and reference points have remained the same, such as the confirmed success of frequency-based approaches and the pivotal role of statistical methods. With this workshop, we would like to provide a renewed overview of the field of Digital Literary Stylistics, in ideal dialogue with the seminal workshop organized at DH2016, which allowed the constitution of the SIG-DLS. We therefore open a Call for Papers to all related areas of research, including (and not limited to): - understanding and improving “classic” stylometric methods (between Delta and Zeta) - stylometric feature engineering (character n-grams, words, syntax, and beyond) - integration with advanced language models (e.g. word embeddings and Transformer models) - identifying the source(s) of stylistic difference (from authors to genres, epochs, and beyond) - style annotations (e.g. phenomenological dimension of style, gestalt annotations) - style in different contexts (e.g. social media style, style of artificial agents) - style in translation, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural style comparisons - style as reader/text interaction - style and complexity - style and quality - tools, platforms and infrastructures for digital literary stylistics - (FAIR) development and sharing of corpora and collections To submit a contribution, please send a brief abstract for a 20-minute presentation (max 250 words) to simone.rebora(a)uni-mainz.de* by 26 April 2023.* All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the programme committee and notifications of acceptance will be sent by 8 May 2023. *SIG-DLS Bursary:* for this year, SIG-DLS offers two bursaries (500 Euros each) to outstanding papers presented by early stage researchers. If you intend to apply, please add a short letter of motivation to your submission. *Organising & programme committee* Simone Rebora (University of Mainz) Joanna Byszuk (Institute of Polish Language of the Polish Academy of Sciences) Francesca Frontini (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale “A. Zampolli”, CNR Pisa) Berenike Herrmann (Bielefeld University, Basel University) Suzanne Mpouli (Paris Cité University) Pablo Ruiz Fabo (University of Strasbourg)

Museum Analytics: New Directions - Registration
by Andrea Ballatore 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Museum Analytics: New Directions Organisers: Andrea Ballatore and Jamie Larkin, with the support of Zhi Ye Event date: 18 May 2023 Location: King’s College London and online (Teams) Registration for participants Please register using this <form><https://forms.office.com/e/APq1CxAkFb>. For in-person participation, the registration deadline is the 19th of April 2023. We have a limited number of spaces available in person - we will email you to confirm your reservation. The link for online participation will be circulated by email before the event. If you are a speaker, you need not register on this form. Programme https://kingsdh.net/2023/04/05/museum-analytics-programme/ Event description Data science has the capacity to revitalise our understanding of the museum sector, through reframing the history of museum development, charting museum geographies, and highlighting new data relationships in innovative and dynamic ways (e.g. Ballatore & Candlin, 2022). It can also illuminate broader relationships between museums, society, and the wider Creative and Cultural Industries (e.g. Me|Mind, 2021), to help produce more joined-up cultural policy and strategy (Centre for Cultural Value, 2022). The application of data analytics presents growing opportunities for institutions and researchers across the cultural sector. While museums often use data to develop visitor profiles and drive income generation, there is tremendous scope to leverage data in ways that reimagine the cultural work of the museum and knowledge of the museum sector. Within museums, work has taken place to use data to enhance curatorial decision-making (Tate, 2016), to personalise collections databases (Noehrer et al., 2022), and to enrich and improve visitor experiences (e.g. Villaespesa & Murphy, 2021).

It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research including social and intelligent media, narrative systems and applications, authoring, reading and publishing hypertext, workflows and infrastructures as well as reflections and approaches. All accepted contributions will be published by ACM and will be available in the Proceedings via the ACM Digital Library. Selected contributions will be invited to submit an expanded version after the conference to a special issue of the New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia. Submissions are welcome in the following tracks: Interactive Media: Art and Design Track chair Dr Sam Brooker (Richmond American University London, UK) This track is dedicated to papers that explore creative expression through digital technology. Submissions may showcase new approaches to – or applications of – interactive media technology for creative expression, or evaluate existing work from a new perspective. Hybrid presentations that mix theory and practice are welcome, though work should be rooted in hypertext as method or approach. Topics include but not limited to: • Demonstrations: Live exhibition or exploration of a new or existing creative work. • Critical analysis: Reflection on or discussion of pre-existing works or theoretical approaches. • Traversals: Demonstrations performed on historically appropriate platforms, with participation and commentary by the authors of the works. • Interdisciplinary creative work: Evaluation or demonstration of creative work that crosses disciplinary boundaries Authoring, Reading, Publishing Track chair Dr Leah Henrickson (University of Leeds, UK) This track is dedicated to exploring how hypertext has transformed authoring, reading, and publishing by disrupting, subverting, or complementing book and media culture and practice. Submissions may focus on specific case studies or theories of new emerging practices, rhetorical analyses, or methodological reflections that take inspiration from fields such as book history, digital humanities and/or media studies. Topics include, but not limited to: • Authorship: Contextualising the production of hypertexts. • Book history: Historically-informed frameworks, theories, and concepts for understanding hypertextual production, dissemination, and reception. • Digital scholarly editions and adaptations: Hypertextual representations and reconceptualisations of extant texts. • Digital storytelling and electronic literature: How hypertexts are used to communicate ideas and facilitate alternative textual experiences. • Reading practices and reader response: How hypertexts are read (or not read) and interpreted. • Rhetorics and poetics: How hypertexts are framed in popular and scholarly discourse, as well as theoretical considerations on forms of expression supported by hypertextual formats. • Text, paratext, and multimodality: Manifestations and effects of digital forms of intra- and intertextual connectivity., Workflows and Infrastructures Track chair Dr Davide Picca (Université de Lausanne, CH) This track is dedicated to hypertext systems and their professional applications to the GLAM field in order to facilitate access to cultural knowledge. The main purpose is to illustrate through the different contributions to the track, how STEM disciplines can help and support the preservation and dissemination of tangible and intangible cultural resources. This track welcomes contributions that present real-world applications of hypertext systems, with a focus on the benefits, challenges, and gaps that emerge from daily practice in fields of study such as (but not limited to) Digital Museology, Intangible Cultural Heritage applications and NLP approaches to cultural resources. Topics include, but not limited to: • Semantic knowledge: How formal ontologies and formal modelling can contribute to organise cultural knowledge • GLAM applications: Pipelines and digital curations for restoration and preservation of cultural artefacts • Digital Museology: Innovations, trends as well as practical challenges encountered in the fields of museology • Intangible Cultural Heritage applications: How Big Data workflows and digital transformation methods can be applied to cultural objects • NLP approaches to cultural resources: Computational semantics and pragmatics, machine translation and multilingual NLP for cultural objects Social and Intelligent Media Track chair Dr Grégoire Burel (Knowledge Media Institute, UK) The social and intelligent media track is dedicated to the understanding and modelling of sociotechnical systems and their role in shaping communication and information access, both virtually and offline. Submissions should consider any online systems that include socially and AI-mediated information such as social networks, recommender systems, online publication tools and discussion platforms. As the focus of this year conference is “Humanity within”, authors are encouraged to submit interdisciplinary articles centred around the impact of social media and AI on how hyperlinked content is accessed and consumed and its impact on Humanity. This track welcomes submissions that further the understanding of the technical inworkings of digital communities and their societal impact, as well as novel methods and algorithms that shape online communication, content creation and socially-mediated information access. Topics include, but not limited to: • Privacy and Anonymity in Social Media – The way social media protect and/or blur the lines between the real and virtual world. • Inclusiveness of Social Media – The role of social media in including minorities, disabilities and minoritised communities. • Diversity and Representativeness of Social Media – The way social media favour (or not) content diversity and its representativeness as well as the involvement of individuals (e.g., echo chambers, content moderation). • Immersive Social Media (e.g., metaverse) – The development and impact of new interaction paradigms on real-world interactions and online communication. • Network Effects in Social Media – The impact of social and hyperlink ties on content access and distribution e.g., information access, ranking, misinformation and bot networks). • Social Media Algorithms – The structure, development, design, and analysis of social media platforms and algorithms. Reflections and Approaches Track chair Dr Mariusz Pisarski (University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow, PL) This track considers how hypertext has transformed society and its tools: new perspectives, future directions, and ongoing transformations that challenge our assumptions about hypertext. This track welcomes submissions focused on (but not limited to) critical reflection on the evolution of hypertext systems, paradigms for new hypertext applications, as well as theories for understanding and navigating the complexity of digital communities enabled by hypertext design and systems. Topics include, but not limited to: • Histories of hypertext: hypertext systems in critical discourse, technology discourse and in the arts community. • Histories of social media: how the pioneering formulas of early systems – such as BBS, MUD and email discussion groups – evolved to modern social media. • Designs, paradigms and theories: evolution of hypertext in scholarly and artistic practice • Self-reflectivity of systems: historical impact of one hypertext system upon another; remediations, migrations and borrowings of features in contemporary writing/reading platforms • Visual histories and meta-histories of social media and hypertext: hypertext and social media communities and ideas in visual and big-data analysis.

LiLa Linking Latin Closing Event
by Litta Modignani Picozzi Eleonora Maria Gabriella (eleon...litta) 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Dear All, The LiLa: Linking Latin team invites you to participate to the LiLa Project Closing Event, consisting in a workshop taking place at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy, on 25th-26th of May, 2023. More information about the workshop, including a detailed programme, can be found at: https://lila-erc.eu/events-2/lila-closing-event/ LiLa responds to the growing need in the fields of Computational Linguistics, Humanities Computing and Classics to create an interoperable Knowledge Base of linguistic resources and NLP tools for Latin. To this end, LiLa makes use of Linked Open Data (LOD) practices and standards to connect words to textual and lexical resources currently distributed across the web. The purpose of this workshop is to present the results of five years of work on the LiLa project and to bring together scholars responsible for the creation and development of linguistic resources and NLP tools for Latin that have been linked and integrated in the LiLa Knowledge Base. The workshop is open to all and is free of charge, but registration is required. Please register here: https://forms.gle/VLNkjxXFykDivFAm8 The official language of the workshop is English. The event will be live-streamed and video-recorded. Registration for in person participation will close on May 5th. Registration for Online participation is always possible. We look forward to welcoming you in Milan!
