[Call for abstracts] Museum Analytics, new directions - deadline 20 Jan
by Andrea Ballatore 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

📢 Call for abstracts: https://kingsdh.net/museum-analytics/ 🐦 Tweet: https://twitter.com/kingsdh/status/1592082797610647552 💡 Organisers: Dr. Andrea Ballatore, King’s College London, UK • Dr. Jamie Larkin, Chapman University, CA 🌎 Location (hybrid): King’s College London (The Strand, London, UK) and online ⏰ Submission deadline: Friday 20 January 2023 🗓 Event date: Thursday 18 May 2023 Museum Analytics: New directions Call for abstracts 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). Stemming from the Mapping Museums project (http://www.mappingmuseums.org<http://www.mappingmuseums.org/>), this one-day conference seeks to draw together museum studies scholars, data scientists, cultural policymakers, and geographers to discuss and debate the role and scope of museum analytics and to frame the development of this area of research and practice. We seek presentations of 15 minutes that examine new directions and applications for museum analytics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of data analytics in new areas of museum practice * Innovative data collection methods in museums * Social media analytics and user-generated content * New methods for audience analytics and profiling * Data-driven museum marketing * Artificial intelligence (AI) and museums * Ethical considerations surrounding data practices and datafication in museums * Innovative data applications in digital museum contexts * Museum analytics and cultural policy * Data vocabularies and linked data for museums * Data infrastructures and capacity across the museum sector * Quantitative geographies and histories of museums * History of data science methods to study museums Please send an abstract of c300 words outlining your proposed contribution by 20th January 2023 by using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/EYEBFMUdkY Decisions on abstracts will be made by 20 February 2023. We will select abstracts in terms of relevance and originality, also considering the balance between in-person and online speakers. The objectives of the event include the development and promotion of a sector-wide agenda and, more modestly, a special issue in an international journal. The event will be free to all participants, in person and online (£0).

[CFP] Second International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge @ TheWebConf 2023
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Call for Papers Second International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge in conjunction with TheWebConf 2023 https://odeuropa.github.io/mdk/ Important dates: - Workshop papers submissions - 6 February, 2023 - 23:59 AOE - Notification - 6 March, 2023 - Camera Ready Submission - 20 March, 2023 - Workshop Day - 1 or 2 May, 2023 Motivations: Our senses are the gateways to our memories and emotions. However, they are under-represented in language technology and semantic web research. In this workshop, two recently awarded H2020 projects, Odeuropa and Polifonia, are teaming up to advance our understanding of how smells and music are represented in texts and structured data. The topics we want to address revolve around extracting references to smells, music, context, and visual information from text as well as relevant data describing their cultural, historical and political context, and model them in the form of interlinked knowledge graphs. This research has a strong interdisciplinary character, hence the workshop has the potential to attract researchers from diverse disciplines from both social sciences and humanities and computer science. Its potential impact is significant to many application areas including: preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage, data-driven policy making in cultural heritage, urban planning, artistic performances, applications for scholars in musicology and history, applications for museums, innovation in teaching, maintenance and exploitation of large catalogues, archives and libraries. We aim at creating a reference venue where new ideas and results can be shared and lead the way towards a technological and cultural shift in how we understand and experience our cultural heritage. Topics of interest: The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Olfactory, musical and visual information extraction from text Olfactory, musical and visual knowledge representation Resources for olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Extraction of socio-cultural and historical context information from text Extraction of time, space, events, people and (musical, olfactory and visual) artifacts from text Knowledge graphs integrating olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Multilingual text corpora on musical and olfactory heritage Automatic and semi-automatic generation of language descriptions of sensory experience Methods and approaches to represent degrees of sensorial experiences (e.g. intensity, dissipation) Applications for teaching/training/valorisation of multisensory data and knowledge Submission: We solicit submissions of long and short papers covering a wide range of NLP and semantic web topics dealing with the extraction and analysis of information from multisensory data. Papers presenting collaborations among researchers with different backgrounds or from different research communities are particularly welcome. All submissions must be in PDF and written in English, single-blind and formatted in the style of the ACM template and format as the main TheWebConf 2023 conference (see the instruction for authors). Workshop papers should not exceed 12 pages in length (maximum 8 pages for the main paper content + maximum 2 pages for appendixes + maximum 2 pages for references). Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to the ACM template published in the ACM guidelines, selecting the generic “sigconf” sample. The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Workshop papers must be self-contained and in English. The MDK 2023 proceedings will be published in the conference’s companion volume. The submission web site is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=thewebconf2023iwpd (select ‘‘2nd International Workshop on Multisensory Data and Knowledge (MDK)’’ when creating a new submission). For any questions, please feel free to contact the organisers directly, or via thewebconf2023companion(a)easychair.org.

DHRH Seminar series, School of Advanced Study, University of London | 'Reframing failure'
by Anna-Maria Sichani 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hi all, I’m writing to share registration details for the remaining DHRH seminar sessions of the Reframing Failure series. If you’d like to attend, please register so that you can receive the correct Zoom details. All are welcome! ---- Reframing Failure Seminar Series Most of us recognise that failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour - let alone life - especially for people who work across disciplines. Yet, for something so central to our experience, it often sits at the periphery of our writing, training, and professional discourse. The Reframing Failure seminar series explores how we can reframe failure within the digital humanities: the ways we can learn from it, talk about it, and hopefully reconsider our collective relationship to it. Conceived as a series of conversations, Reframing Failure presents an opportunity to reflect on practice. It welcomes those from within and outside the digital humanities and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to failure. Reframing Failure is a virtual seminar series hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub <https://www.sas.ac.uk/digital-humanities> at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. If you have any questions about the series, please email the facilitators Anna-Maria Sichani and Michael Donnay at digitalhumanities(a)sas.ac.uk. ---- Seminar 2: DH broken - Between experimentation and degradation <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Wednesday 25 January 2023 at 17:00 GMT In digital humanities, things break. All the time. Whether a project has come to the end of its life or is an early prototype, ‘brokenness’ is something digital humanities practitioners will need to address. What can we learn from these encounters with brokenness and how can that shape future projects? Panellists include: - Jenny Mitcham (Digital Preservation Coalition) - Arianna Ciula (King's Digital Lab) - Sara Namusoga-Kaale (Makere University) - Frances Corry (University of Pennsylvania) - Jentery Sayers (University of Victoria) - Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study) - Chair Seminar 3: Rejected - failed funding bids, project proposals and job applications <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Wednesday 8 March 2023 at 17:00 GMT Rejection is an essential part of the current academic landscape and everyone has a collection of failed funding bids, project proposals and job applications. What can we learn from these rejections? Panellists include: - Lauren Tuckley (Georgetown University) - Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study) - Additional speakers to be announced. Seminar 4: It’s complicated: collaborations and partnerships <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Thursday 23 March 2023 at 17:00 GMT A common challenge for digital humanities projects - and a place where many stumble - is managing collaborations across disciplines, cultures, and communities of practice. These differences raise questions of translation, inclusivity, and workplace norms for digital humanities practitioners. Panellists include: - Ruth Ahnert (Queen Mary University of London) - Helen Graham (University of Leeds) - Arran Rees (University of Leeds) - Emma Jaster (Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics) - Daniela Major (School of Advanced Study) - Caio Mello (School of Advanced Study) - Jennifer Stertzer (University of Virginia) Seminar 5: Communicating failure <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Thursday 11 May 2023 at 17:00 GMT Failure can be challenging to talk about, especially in the formal publication venues that count for researcher’s career advancement. What can we do to expose the ‘messiness’ of digital research when we discuss our work? Panellists include: - Britt Amell (Carleton University) - Nabeel Siddiqui (Susquehanna University) - Janneke Adema (Coventry University) - Gabby Boddard (School of Advanced Study) - Annika Rockenberger (University of Oslo) Seminar 6: After failure <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Tuesday 23 May 2023 at 17:00 GMT If failure forms an essential part of scholarly practice, what comes after failure? How can national organisations encourage failing productively? Are there alternative approaches to research, such as ‘slow scholarship’ or ‘failure as methodology’, that can be integrated into our own research methods? Panellists include: - Lisa Goddard (University of Victoria) - Scott B. Weingart - David Stevenson (Queen Mary University of London) - Joris van Zundert (Huygens - KNAW) -- *Dr. Anna-Maria Sichani* *Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities | The Congruence Engine: Digital Tools for New Collections-Based Industrial Histories (TaNC-AHRC)* *Digital Humanities Research Hub | **School of Advanced Study , University of London* *UKRI Policy and Engagement Fellow in Digital Research and Innovation Infrastructure* *Editor, The Programming Historian* *Director, ProgHist Ltd. | **ProgHist Ltd is a charity registered in England and Wales (1195875) and incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee (12192946).* *programminghistorian.org/ <http://programminghistorian.org/>* @amsichani <https://twitter.com/amsichani> amsichani.github.io *Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail* ** Please note that although my working pattern means that I might send you an email outside of normal office hours, I do not expect a response outside the hours of your own working pattern. * *

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

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.

[Reminder & Extended Deadline: 15. Dec. 2022] Call for Abstracts - 3rd Workshop Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries - Munich, Germany - 27-28 March 2023
by Sander Münster 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

[cid:[email protected]] 3rd Workshop on Research and Education in Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries March 27-28, 2023, LMU, Munich, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS Submission deadline for extended abstracts (1500-2000 words): Extended Deadline: December 15th 2022 Event information: https://www.urbanhistory4d.org/wordpress/index.php/uhdl2023<https://www.urbanhistory4d.org/wordpress/index.php/uhdl2023/> Abstract Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023 Proceedings<https://link.springer.com/conference/uhdl> will be published with Springer-Nature in their Communications in Computer and Information Science series. We kindly invite you to submit a contribution to the 3rd workshop on “Research and education in urban history in the age of digital libraries”. The event will take place in Munich, Germany on March 27-28, 2023. DESCRIPTION Urban and architectural history are key areas in digital humanities and digital heritage. With respect to these research areas, digital repositories, data and research methods play an important role, especially when hosting visual media like photographs, paintings, or drawings, and last but not least physical and virtual models. Due to the wide field of possible research, different approaches, methods and technologies have emerged – and are still emerging. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a full picture with regards to epistemics, technology and framework conditions. We aim to discuss crucial challenges for further research and encourage exchange and debate. We would like to invite contributions on theoretical and methodological issues, application scenarios and projects, as well as novel approaches and tools. This includes the following five areas: 1. Theory, Methods, and Systematization 2. Data handling and data schemes 3. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence 4. Visualization and Presentation 5. Education in urban history To this cause, we are seeking original and innovative contributions in theoretical and practical applications on Digital Cultural Heritage. TOPICS Theory, Methods, and Systematization Digital humanities research as an inherently interdisciplinary field has created a high demand for critically reflected methods, techniques, valid strategies, classifications, and quality standards. But do computing methods also lead to new and ground-breaking research questions, approaches, or insights into architectural and urban cultural heritage research? In most cases, the use of computing simply extends nondigital possibilities, without much change to the pre-digital approaches and research questions. Nevertheless, digitalization has dramatically altered research qualities, quantities, and workflows. We welcome contributions on: 1. relevant data for architectural and urban history in digital archives and image repositories 2. the effects of the use of digital archives and image repositories on scholarly work 3. concepts and projects for networking and cooperation 4. possible research questions regarding objects, spaces, content or historical events Data handling and data schemes The immense effort invested in digitization and rapid changes in technologies and formats has greatly increased the importance of data standards. Long-term data storage, availability of models and the interoperability of data formats are major challenges to existing digital infrastructures. We welcome contributions on: 1. 3D databases as a tool to support urban historical research 2. Metadata and paradata 3. Remote sensing approaches to support contextualization and intuitive access to data 4. Linked and semantic data related to urban historical research 5. the influence of knowledge of HCI on the design of historic models Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence During the past few years, various new technological opportunities have arisen from big data, Semantic Web technologies, and the exponential growth in data accessible via digital libraries such as EUROPEANA. Data-driven supervised and unsupervised classification approaches have been used to acquire high-level semantic concepts, especially from the interconnection of different types of data. Interdisciplinary collaborations between computer science and humanities disciplines are essential in developing methods and workflows to enable cultural heritage research to exploit machine learning approaches. We welcome contributions on: 1. use cases and best practices of applied machine learning in digital humanities research 2. novel approaches e.g., (semi-) automatic photogrammetric reconstruction of historical buildings from image databases Visualization and Presentation Historians in cultural heritage research today are enabled to explore new research directions due to the availability of multitudes of digitized historical photographs in image repositories. Moreover, novel approaches such as the photogrammetric reconstruction of historical buildings from image databases allow for contextualization and intuitive access to data. Typical motivations for accessing these archives and repositories are scientific research, pedagogical applications, and the study of historical sites. These areas require advances in methods for visualization and presentation of data to support the different target groups. We welcome contributions on: 1. Projects and investigations from urban history concerned with visualizations and presentation of spatial and/or scholarly data 2. Research scenarios for scholars using visualizations of urban history data 3. Interdisciplinarity, e.g. intersections between digital cultural heritage and (sustainable) tourism studies Education in urban history Education and support by digital libraries still only plays a minor role in scholarly discourses on cultural heritage and in particular urban history. There is still no broad consensus on specific education paradigms or a canon of didactic settings in digitally supported teaching on urban history, and as yet no larger studies have been conducted in this area. We welcome contributions on: 1. educational scenarios for teaching urban history supported by digital methods 2. approaches to employing large scale repositories for educational purposes in cultural history 3. the design of virtual experiences as e.g. city tours SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Please submit an extended abstract of 1500-2000 words in PDF format by December 15th 2022 (Extended Deadline) via the electronic upload submission procedure on the EasyChair website<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023>.

Survey on social justice and ethical research in the digital humanities
by Scholger, Walter (walter.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We are developing a new course for #dariahTeach <https://teach.dariah.eu> on the topic of social justice and ethical research in the digital humanities, funded by DARIAH EU. We are keen to cast our net widely to get an overview of what digital humanities projects and research has been or is being undertaken in this space. We would be very interested in learning of your digital scholarship in the area of social justice broadly conceived, including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, religion, indigenous peoples rights and interests, postcolonial, and decolonial research. We are interested in both project-based scholarship as well as more traditional publications. To this end, we have developed a survey that should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete to gather information from the community. We plan on converting the survey to a registry within the #dariahTeach course so the wider DH community can also have an overview of scholarship in this area. We would appreciate your filling up the survey by 30 November to have the possibility of having your research integrated into the course. The URL for the survey is https://forms.gle/N756a7BnBV2MQcYZA If you have any questions about the development of the course, please email socialjusticeDT(a)gmail.com<mailto:[email protected]> With best wishes Susan Schreibman (University of Maastricht, Netherlands) Marianne Huang (Aarhus University, Denmark) Koraljka Kuzman Šlogar (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Croatia) Costas Papadopoulos (Maastricht University, Netherlands) Walter Scholger (University of Gratz, Austria)

Call for abstracts: Museum Analytics, new directions - 18 May 2023
by Ballatore, Andrea 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

📢 Call for abstracts: https://kingsdh.net/museum-analytics/ 🐦 Tweet: https://twitter.com/kingsdh/status/1592082797610647552 💡 Organisers: Dr. Andrea Ballatore, King’s College London, UK • Dr. Jamie Larkin, Chapman University, CA 🌎 Location (hybrid): King’s College London (The Strand, London, UK) and online ⏰ Submission deadline: Friday 20 January 2023 🗓 Event date: Thursday 18 May 2023 Museum Analytics: New directions Call for abstracts 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). Stemming from the Mapping Museums project (http://www.mappingmuseums.org<http://www.mappingmuseums.org/>), this one-day conference seeks to draw together museum studies scholars, data scientists, cultural policymakers, and geographers to discuss and debate the role and scope of museum analytics and to frame the development of this area of research and practice. We seek presentations of 15 minutes that examine new directions and applications for museum analytics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of data analytics in new areas of museum practice * Innovative data collection methods in museums * Social media analytics and user-generated content * New methods for audience analytics and profiling * Data-driven museum marketing * Artificial intelligence (AI) and museums * Ethical considerations surrounding data practices and datafication in museums * Innovative data applications in digital museum contexts * Museum analytics and cultural policy * Data vocabularies and linked data for museums * Data infrastructures and capacity across the museum sector * Quantitative geographies and histories of museums * History of data science methods to study museums Please send an abstract of c300 words outlining your proposed contribution by 20th January 2023 by using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/EYEBFMUdkY Decisions on abstracts will be made by 20 February 2023. We will select abstracts in terms of relevance and originality, also considering the balance between in-person and online speakers. The objectives of the event include the development and promotion of a sector-wide agenda and, more modestly, a special issue in an international journal. The event will be free to all participants, in person and online (£0).

"Reframing Failure" DHRH Seminar Series Launch - School of Advanced Study , University of London
by Anna-Maria Sichani 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

**with apologies for cross-posting** Dear colleagues, *Reframing Failure *Seminar Series Most of us recognise that failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour - let alone life - especially for people who work across disciplines. Yet, for something so central to our experience, it often sits at the periphery of our writing, training, and professional discourse. The *Reframing Failure *seminar series explores how we can reframe failure within the digital humanities: the ways we can learn from it, talk about it, and hopefully reconsider our collective relationship to it. Conceived as a series of conversations, *Reframing Failure* presents an opportunity to reflect on practice. It welcomes those from within and outside the digital humanities and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to failure. Reframing Failure is a virtual seminar series hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. If you have any questions about the series, please email the facilitators Anna-Maria Sichani and Michael Donnay at digitalhumanities(a)sas.ac.uk. Seminar 1: Setting the Failure Agenda <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Tuesday, 15 November 2022 at 17:00 GMT In 2012 Lisa Spiro wrote, ‘Not all experiments succeed as originally imagined, but the digital humanities community recognizes the value of failure in the pursuit of innovation’. A decade later, what does failure mean for the digital humanities community today? If there is value in failure, how do we create the space to fail ‘better’? Panellists include: - Quinn Dombrowski (Stanford) - David de Roure (Oxford) - Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study) - Anna-Maria Sichani (School of Advanced Study) - Chair Register here. <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> We will be hosting additional seminars in 2023 - the schedule for these will be announced shortly. -- *Dr. Anna-Maria Sichani* *Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities | The Congruence Engine: Digital Tools for New Collections-Based Industrial Histories (TaNC-AHRC)* *Digital Humanities Research Hub | **School of Advanced Study , University of London* *UKRI Policy and Engagement Fellow in Digital Research and Innovation Infrastructure* *Editor, The Programming Historian* *Director, ProgHist Ltd. | **ProgHist Ltd is a charity registered in England and Wales (1195875) and incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee (12192946).* *programminghistorian.org/ <http://programminghistorian.org/>* @amsichani <https://twitter.com/amsichani> amsichani.github.io *Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail* ** Please note that although my working pattern means that I might send you an email outside of normal office hours, I do not expect a response outside the hours of your own working pattern. * *

Metaphor-Annotated Bible?
by Maria Berger 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Hello everyone, I am currently working on transfering approaches of metaphor identification from English to German. I was wondering whether there is a freely-available metaphor-annotated Bible corpus out there. I am pretty sure there are a lot rather special datasets in the community. What I basically am looking for is a typical flat-annotated Bible (or parts of it) with words/phrases that are figurative in consent. I found the Lexham Figuratative Language of the NT Dataset (2016) but that seems to come with a special software only. I am grateful for any hint. Best, Maria -- Dr. rer. nat.

KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series - Lexical semantic change for the humanities
by Isabelle Gribomont 02 Oct '22

02 Oct '22

Dear Colleagues, [With apologies for cross-posting] KBR invites you to attend the KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series, in cooperation with ULB, UGent, VUB and UCLouvain. In this virtual series running from October to December 2022, three scholars will present their work on lexical semantic change for the humanities. * Tuesday 18 October 2022 at 2PM CEST (GMT +2) “Change is Key!” Nina Tahmasebi (University of Gothenburg) & Simon Hengchen (University of Geneva) https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/change-is-key/ Abstract In this talk, we will present the Change is Key! program, a 6-year research program where we combine methods for semantic change and lexical variation to answer research questions stemming from humanities and social sciences. We will first introduce different classes of methods for computationally detecting semantic change, ranging from topic modelling to contextual embeddings, and discuss how the results should be valued and evaluated. The talk will further shed light on research questions from the humanities and social science focus domains that will be tackled in Change is Key! as well as present a case-study on semantic change in Dutch-language historical newspapers using topic modelling. * Tuesday 8 November 2022 at 2PM CET (GMT +1) Justyna Robinson (University of Sussex) “Concept-led approach to semantic change” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/digital-heritage-seminar-linguistic-dna-projec… Abstract Semantic change is usually discussed from the angles of onomasiology or semasiology. Thus, one may focus on words representing the same meaning as in child, girl, baby meaning ‘young person’ or focus on meanings attached to the same word, as in girl ‘child, young person’ (c1300) versus girl ‘female young person’. These traditional approaches assume that the meaning lies in data that is conceived of in categorical and linear terms. In this talk I present a perspective on semantic change in terms of paradigmatic relations across a text. I discuss the findings from the Linguistic DNA<https://www.linguisticdna.org/> research project which analysed concepts in discourse of 55,000 Early Modern English books. I present the most recent theoretical and methodological innovations, which include bottom-up modelling of prosodic meaning. * Thursday 8 December 2022 at 2pm CET (GMT +1) Florentina Armaselu (University of Luxembourg) “Bridging NLP and LLOD: Humanities Approaches to Semantic Change” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/dhs-humanities-approaches-to-semantic-change/ Abstract Natural language processing (NLP) for detecting lexical semantic change and linguistic linked open data (LLOD) are two areas of research that have shown promising results in the latest years. However, their potential of being considered together for analysing and representing semantic change from a humanistic perspective needs further study and development. The talk will present an overview of theoretical aspects, NLP techniques and LLOD formalisms intended to this purpose, and will focus on a project developed as a humanities use case within the COST Action “Nexus Linguarum – European network for Web-centred linguistic data science.” The discussion will include preliminary thoughts on the conception of a system that combines dictionary information with corpus evidence, and provides multilingual diachronic ontologies for humanities research. Practical information: These talks will be held, via Microsoft Teams, in English, with questions in French, Dutch or English. The target audience is scholars, but the general public is warmly welcome. Registration is free but mandatory: Microsoft Forms<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=_vpFvrBIV0S_zOy1aWlbkVD…> You will be sent the link to the virtual meeting on the morning of the event. This series is co-organised by the following research Labs at KBR: Digital Research Lab, Data Science Lab, CAMille and LabEL, in cooperation with Université libre de Bruxelles, Universiteit Gent, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Université catholique de Louvain. Isabelle Gribomont, also on behalf of my co-organizers Julie Birkholz, Brecht Deseure, Sébastien de Valeriola and Tan Lu Isabelle Gribomont Chercheuse postdoctorale en humanités numériques à l'UCLouvain et responsable de LabEL (Laboratory for Electronic Literature)<https://www.kbr.be/fr/projets/label/> à la Bibliothèque Royale de Belgique Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Researcher at UCLouvain and head of LabEL (Laboratory for Electronic Literature)<https://www.kbr.be/en/projects/laboratory-for-electronic-literature/> at the Royal Library of Belgium

DH2023 contributions in English only
by maurizio lana 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

dear EADH members, i read in the CFP that > With respect for the significant number of languages in which DH is > conducted, _the organizers have determined that the conference will be > conducted in English_ so as to include the work of as many scholars as > possible. elegant phrasing for a simpler: "we allow contributions in English only" some of you probably don't know that ADHO has always been allowing, and somehow promoting, in its conferences 5 main languages: Italian, French, Spanish, German and English. i would be grateful to whom can explain to me why when and with which reasons this policy was changed. ADHO has a «MultiLingualism and MultiCulturalism Standing Committee» which apparently has been ignored or is slowly pushed towards marginality because where multilingualism and multiculturalism should appear and be promoted in ADHO if not first of all in its international conference? how can multiculturalism exist in a monolingual conference? (how can ADHO promote itself as a multicultural associations when its international conference is monolingual/monocultural?) (and which should be the interest, for a number of linguistically and (hence) culturally characterised associations, of being part of a mono-cultural alliance ? i think that these are matters which should be at least presented in detail to the ADHO associates, if not openly discussed with them. best Maurizio Il 20/09/22 12:00, eadh-topics-request(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org ha scritto: > Send Eadh-topics mailing list submissions to > eadh-topics(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.lists.digitalhumanities.org/mailman/listinfo/eadh-topics > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > eadh-topics-request(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > eadh-topics-owner(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Eadh-topics digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

CfP Workshop@ISWC on Musical Heritage Knowledge Graphs - deadline August 23rd
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Workshop on Musical Heritage Knowledge Graphs The 22nd International Semantic Web Conference 2022 (virtual) 23-27 October 2022, Hangzhou, China https://mhkg-workshop.i3s.univ-cotedazur.fr/ Music is a key component of our cultural heritage as well as a driver for the creative industry. As such it is studied from a social science and humanities perspective as well as from a computer science one. Recently, knowledge graphs have shown the potential to become an enabling technology for the hybridisation and collaboration between these two research worlds. They can be used for feeding AI applications to support musicologists, musicians, producers, etc. in tasks such as music management, analysis, composition, and generation. And they are key for developing a new generation of music information retrieval applications, based on interlinked knowledge as opposed to isolated collections. Current music data available on the web and in institutional collections is served in heterogeneous and incompatible formats that cannot be easily integrated. Music streaming providers are investing in AI research to develop services and functions that rely on semantic analysis of music content. Similarly, cultural and memory institutions and music collection owners are looking more and more at LOD-based solutions to improve data integration strategies and automatic analysis of their content towards better procedures for preservation, management, and enhancement of musical heritage. The Semantic Web community can respond to this call by putting into action focused research on this domain. This workshop intends to bring together an interdisciplinary audience of researchers and practitioners, including digital artists, to present their most recent use cases and results on methods, tools and applications for building, analyzing, exploiting, and interacting with musical heritage knowledge graphs. We welcome submissions in the following tracks: Papers (research track): Submit a 6-10 page paper. Demos: Submit a work to be presented at a hands-on demo session. Demo submissions should consist of a max 2-page extended abstract including diagrams or images, and a complete list of technical requirements (including anything expected to be provided by the conference organizers). Paper submission system: EasyChair - submission link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mhkg2022 Topics of interest (include but are not limited to the following): Methods and tools for knowledge extraction from audio and symbolic music notations. Methods and tools for large scale music data analysis Methods and tools for knowledge extraction of musical heritage knowledge from text (including lyrics analysis). Methods and tools for interaction with musical knowledge graphs. Findability and semantic exploration of musical heritage knowledge. Semantic interoperability between music symbolic representations. Formal representation of music notations Use cases and open challenges in music knowledge graphs. Knowledge graphs for supporting the music creation process. Musical heritage knowledge graphs and ontologies for music-AI tasks AI methods for building musical heritage knowledge graphs and ontologies Important Dates August 23rd, 2022 : Submissions deadline for Papers and Demos. September 15th, 2022: Notification of acceptances and rejections for Papers and Demos. September 25th, 2022: Camera ready submission October 23rd or 24th (TBA), 2022: Workshop dayorkshop Organizers: Valentina Presutti (University of Bologna) Michel Buffa (University Côte d’Azur) Luc Steels (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) Jean-François Trubert (University Côte d'Azur) Enrico Daga (Open University) Albert Meroño (King’s College London)

Extended submission deadline (31 July 2022) for On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities conference
by Naomi Wells 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities Senate House, University of London London, UK, 15-16 December 2022 https://easychair.org/cfp/Margins22 Submissions deadline: 31 July 2022 Since its early days as a series of experimental approaches, the Hypertext paradigm has proven itself vital in dealing with what Ted Nelson called “deep structural changes in the arrangements of ideas and phenomena.” Whether we conceive of Hypertext as non-sequential writing that branches and allows choices to the reader, or as a body of written or pictorial material interconnected in such a complex way that it could not conveniently be represented on paper, thinking in Hypertext has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. In our research lives, Hypertext technologies and methodologies are similarly amongst the most prominent and visible outcomes of the “digital age.” Mature products of its investigation by research communities can be found in the work of Electronic Literature scholars and practitioners, Hypertext and Hypermedia specialists, and researchers in the Digital Humanities. However, owing perhaps to their disparate angles of investigation and the sheer scope of activity, these research communities remain fragmented and somehow “on the margins” of wider Humanities and Computer Science scholarship. We invite members of the Hypertext, Electronic Literature and Digital Humanities communities, including PhD and Early Career Researchers, to come together for a two-day conference reflecting on how Hypertext has shaped our research and creative practices, to build research opportunities between sympathetic communities, and to envision how to push the boundaries of Hypertext beyond its current incarnations. We want to inaugurate a space that will promote debate and connections, building new understanding at the crossroads between disciplines. We are planning to hold the conference in person, but can make arrangements to show pre-recorded presentations if you are unable to attend. Call for contributions * Potential topics include but are not limited to: * Studying digital reading experience * Describing “book history” for digital formats * Redefinitions of authorship and collaboration * New literary forms enabled by electronic literature * Multilingual and translingual digital texts and practices * Transmediality * Born-digital archives, genres and emerging formats * Digital scholarly editions * Approaches to digital inclusion * Pedagogy and hypertext applications * Social media * Experimental or early research Submission formats The conference will include three tracks: * Full papers (15-20 minutes) * Posters and Lightning talks (5-10 minutes; PGR and ECR contributions particularly welcome) * Tutorials for tools and demos * For full papers, we invite extended abstracts of 2,000-4,000 (4-8 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references. * For posters and lightning talks, we invite extended abstracts of 300-1,000 words (2-4 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references. * Accepted abstracts will be published in a peer-reviewed, Open Access volume in the Conference Proceedings of ACM series. * See this page for submission templates<https://chi2022.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-publication-forma…>; both Word and LaTeX formats available. The choice of the extended abstract format bridges practices between the Humanities and Hypertext communities, promoting the inclusion of scholars at different career stages and leaving a lasting legacy for the conference that can continue to benefit the research community. Please note that not all elements of the template will be relevant to all submissions. For tutorials, proposals should provide the following information: * title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the conference theme (not more than 1000 words); * full contact information for all tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement summarising their research interests and areas of expertise; * description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); * any special requirements for technical support * a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in approximately 2 hours, plus breaks Important dates * CfP opens 6 April 2022 * Paper, poster and workshop submission by 31 July 2022 * Acceptance by 5 September 2022 Confirmed Keynote speakers * Gustavo Gomez-Mejia (University of Tours) * James O’Sullivan (University College Cork) Conference programme committee * Alessio Antonini (Open University) * Francesca Benatti (Open University) * Sam Brooker (Richmond) * Christopher Ohge (School of Advanced Study, University of London) * Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study, University of London) * Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London) Dr Naomi Wells Lecturer in Italian and Spanish with Digital Humanities/Co-Director of the Doctoral Centre Institute of Modern Languages Research/Digital Humanities Research Hub School of Advanced Study | University of London Senate House | Malet Street | London WC1E 7HU | UK Email: naomi.wells(a)sas.ac.uk http://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/ https://digitalmodernlanguages.wordpress.com/
