Dear colleagues, The Institute of Classical Studies in London still has some available places for their annual summer school, 3D Imaging and Modelling for Classics and Cultural Heritage. Registration is available here: https://www.sas.ac.uk/events/3d-imaging-and-modelling-classics-and-cultural… Tutors: Alicia Walsh (Recollection Heritage/University of Amsterdam) & Gabriel Bodard (University of London) Cost: £675 standard / £375 unwaged and unfunded (if a student, please confirm that you have asked your institution for support before claiming this rate) Whether you are interested in visualising ancient monuments or in making and printing 3D models of historical artefacts-or even if you are just passionate about cultural heritage and want to learn more about the latest digital approaches-this intensive training course offers practical experience, with instruction from professionals and experts in the field. This in-person course will introduce you to issues, methods and technologies in the 3D imaging and modelling of ancient artefacts and buildings. Through a mix of discussion and practical training, you will learn about imaging of heritage objects. You will have the opportunity to put into practice the method of photogrammetry, the production of a 3D model from multiple still photographs of an object. You will also gain experience with an easy-to-use 3D design tool, for creating reconstructions of lost historical buildings or monuments. Both sets of technologies will be presented within a theoretical and methodological framework, thinking about 3D modelling alongside best practice, preservation, ethical and legal issues. Drawing on the expertise of the Institute of Classical Studies, our research partners, and nearby cultural institutions, this course is suitable for students, archaeologists, teachers and anyone else with an interest. We would love to hear if you had a project in mind that you would like to work towards, but all sessions will be accessible to complete beginners.

Final Call for Papers - Formulaic Language in Historical Research and Data Extraction: An International Conference, 7-9 February 2024, Amsterdam, Netherlands
by marijn Koolen 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

Formulaic Language in Historical Research and Data Extraction: An International Conference Final Call For Papers Huygens Institute, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Amsterdam, 7-9 February 2024 Formulaic language is a phenomenon familiar to scholars working with a great variety of historical sources. In official documents such as charters, acts, laws, ordinances, proceedings, but also in ‘private’ texts such as letters, petitions, egodocuments, and literary texts, we find (sequences of) words that appear over and over again, often in the same position in the text, over a long period of time. Such formulaic elements seem to fulfill many different functions: they may help the reader understand the type or genre of a text, structure the text, indicate its performative character, strengthen the relationship between author and reader, or help memorizing a text, to name but a few. Given the highly formulaic character of many written sources, especially (but not only) of the premodern period, the phenomenon of formulaic language has received surprisingly little attention in historical research. It has been studied in (socio)linguistics and historical pragmatics, but few historians have engaged with this scholarship. Until recently, moreover, the potential of formulaic language for (automated) data extraction of large digitized source corpora has remained virtually unexplored. The twofold aim of this international conference is: 1. to place formulaic language on the agenda as an object of historical study (in the broadest, interdisciplinary sense of this term) 2. to explore the potential of formulaic language for the digitization and data extraction of historical sources of different types and periods. Possible questions that we would like to address in this conference include: • What is formulaic language? In which societal domains and historical sources can it be found? When and why has language been considered formulaic, and by whom? How is formulaic language defined and studied in different academic fields? How does the use of formulaic language vary across (national) linguistic traditions and across space and time? • How has formulaic language historically been understood? Which purposes has it served? How, when and where has formulaic language emerged, transferred or disappeared? How has formulaic language evolved over time, and how can change be explained? How does formulaic language in written texts relate to speech acts and ritual performances? How does it relate to text genres and genre conventions? • What are the social and political connotations and consequences of formulaic language? Who produces it, who engages with it, who knows how to use it, and who is excluded by it? How do (political, religious, legal) authorities, intermediaries, and ordinary language users employ, exploit, and interpret formulaic language? Does formulaic language facilitate or hinder the participation of subaltern groups in society? What is the relationship between formulaic language and the subsequent transitions from oral to written culture to the age of print and the digital age, or with processes of standardization, professionalization, and bureaucratization? • How can formulas be used to extract information from texts? What information do formulaic expressions convey about the subject or meaning of a text? Can they play a role in recognizing and contextualizing named entities? Can they help to link texts with other texts? • How can formulaic language be identified in text corpora and archives, including long serial publications and heterogeneous archives of diverse documents? How can formulaic expressions be categorized and how can relationships between formulas be identified? We welcome proposals for papers (c. 250 words) on these and related topics from scholars working in different fields. Proposals should be sent, together with a short bio- bibliographical statement including indication of institutional affiliation, by 15 June, to Republic_Goetgevonden(a)huygens.knaw.nl. Please give your email the title ‘Formulaic Language conference’. We will prioritize proposals that go beyond singular case studies and address questions that help us understand the phenomenon of formulaic language through comparisons across time, space, language, genre or corpus. This conference is organized in the framework of the project REPUBLIC: Resolutions Published in a Computational Environment. In this infrastructural project, (digital) historians, computer scientists, data experts and developers collaborate with the aim of providing digital access to the resolutions (decisions) of the Dutch States General (1576-1796). Organisers: Rik Hoekstra Marijn Koolen Joris Oddens Huygens Institute for the History and Culture of the Netherlands

Deadline extension. Dossier on Digital Art History
by Simone Rebora 25 May '23

25 May '23

Dear all, We would like to inform you that the submission deadline for the "Umanistica Digitale" dossier on Digital Art History has been extended to 15 June. Below is the updated Call. Best regards, ----- Call for Papers Umanistica Digitale Dossier: Digital Art History The dossier on “Digital Art History” of Umanistica Digitale collects contributions on the study of methods, approaches, debates and experiments that developed over the last two decades in the field of Digital Art History, particularly along two lines of research that appear dominant today. On the one hand, scholarly studies in Art History embrace a transdisciplinary approach to investigate several aspects that are constituents of the discipline: e.g. to formulate authorship attributions, reconstruct provenance, detect artworks’ genre and style, or investigate historical networks. To this extent, digital tools are employed to conduct and extend consolidated practices of research in Art History, though impacting its scope in many ways. On the other hand, computational methodologies have significantly evolved in the last decades and have opened new frontiers in research and industry. The development of text-to-image software has raised new issues in the field of generative art and intellectual property, as well as the use of blockchain and NFT has reframed the role of cultural institutions toward the art market. Big Data analysis and Distant Viewing have also impacted the modes of art historical research, bringing structural and logical topics into the foreground, rather than as side products of scholarly investigations. Similarly, the predominant role of data visualisation for cultural heritage analysis significantly impacts decision-making processes, while the employment of interactive/immersive installations and the Web as instruments of participation and awareness introduce new practices for engaging with museum audiences, stakeholders and patrons. This dossier welcomes proposals in both aforementioned areas of interest, privileging those pertaining to the field of the Digital Humanities, Computer Science, and Art History, as well as from other sectors that want to engage in the exploration of Digital Art History in a transdisciplinary perspective.

CfP: Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 (December 13-16), deadline July 24
by Fabio Ciotti 22 May '23

22 May '23

CfP: Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 (December 13-16), deadline July 24 https://cudan.tlu.ee/conference/ We invite submissions for the Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 / CUDAN 2023, organized by the ERA Chair project for Cultural Data Analytics at Tallinn University, generously funded by the European Commission. Inspired by initial large gatherings of the cultural analytics community, including UCLA/IPAM 2016, and multidisciplinary conferences such as NetSci, IC2S2, or CSS, we aim to bring together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders using methods of cultural data analytics to understand cultures and cultural production. This particularly includes multidisciplinary combinations of quantification, qualitative inquiry, computational analysis, and visualization to make sense of large cultural datasets, including visual, audiovisual, linguistic, and other genres of socio-cultural materials. The conference is scheduled to happen in Tallinn, Estonia from December 13 to 16, 2023, including a number of leading invited practitioners, peer-reviewed talks, and poster contributions from the community. Conference programme The CUDAN 2023 main conference programme (December 14-16, 2023) will include six keynotes covering the spectrum of relevant disciplines, a lightning talk session in the plenary, parallel sessions, and a poster section. The latter will run throughout the whole conference in the coffee and lunch area that is collocated with the plenum. The conference will close with a best poster and best paper award ceremony. The pre-conference day (December 13, 2023) will feature introductory workshops by CUDAN senior fellows, covering aspects of cultural data analysis and visualization using Python, R, Tableau, and the Collection Space Navigator. Before and after the main conference, we will offer sightseeing tours, including the medieval Tallinn old town and Christmas market (among many reasons to visit Estonia). We are further planning a meet the publisher’s session and other opportunities for relevant stakeholders, including exhibition booths. If you or your institution/company is interested in participation, please contact us via email to cudan(a)tlu.ee, ideally before September 14, 2023. Keynotes – Petter Holme, Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland – Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, Université de Genève, Switzerland – Mauro Martino, Visual Artificial Intelligence Lab, IBM Research, Boston, USA – Anu Masso, TalTech, Tallinn, Estonia Conference Scope and Call Cultures and cultural production are multifaceted phenomena, which, like other complex systems, cannot be fully understood from the perspective of a single specific discipline. This is why the core mission of cultural data analytics is to join forces and make headway across disciplines and domains of expertise. Feeding into this mission, we welcome both multidisciplinary submissions, and contributions from specific disciplines, which aim to benefit from discussion in a multidisciplinary forum. We encourage discussion towards a deeper understanding of cultures and cultural production including aspects, methods, and intersections of the following fields: – cultural analytics, culturomics, and socio-cultural data science; – digital humanities and computational humanities; – cultural evolution, including experimental and observational approaches; – cultural complexity science, network science, computational social science, and social physics; – computational linguistics, quantitative aesthetics, critical computer vision, and machine learning; – art history, cultural history, cultural semiotics, film studies, musicology, and urbanism; – artistic research, algorithmic curation, and AI art (including aspects of cultural data analysis); – creative industries research, media economics, and policy studies; – data journalism, data science, and information visualization. Contributions ideally address at least one of the following subject domains (in line with state-of-the-art conceptual reference models for cultural data): – material aspects, including artworks, architecture, texts, images, sound, film, digital media, databases, and other forms of tangible cultural heritage; – conceptual aspects, including cultural practices, rituals, theories, policies, data models, narratives, imagined communities, and other forms of intangible cultural heritage; – social aspects, including human behaviour, human mobility, social networks, and social media; – temporal aspects, from slow historical processes to turbulence in today’s economy of attention; – spatial aspects of historical topography, cultural geography, and urban dynamics; – event aspects, which combine the above aspects in cultural co-production, event series, tourism, etc.; – network aspects of socio-cultural interaction, including the inherent ecology of complex networks as documented in the structure and dynamics of large cultural knowledge graphs or blockchains associated with the crypto-art-market, for example. We invite authors to submit a single-page abstract pdf including a (mandatory) descriptive figure and caption by the 24th of July 2023 via our OpenReview submission system. We accept contributed talks, lightning talks, and posters (please indicate your preference). We strive for an in-person event to maximize community interaction, yet we will provide a limited number of remote presentation slots. Review is single-blind.

Fwd: Uncaught bounce notification

11 May '23

*Call for Papers. Dossier on Digital Art History* The dossier on “Digital Art History” of Umanistica Digitale collects contributions on the study of methods, approaches, debates and experiments that developed over the last two decades in the field of Digital Art History, particularly along two lines of research that appear dominant today. On the one hand, scholarly studies in Art History embrace a transdisciplinary approach to investigate several aspects that are constituents of the discipline: e.g. to formulate authorship attributions, reconstruct provenance, detect artworks’ genre and style, or investigate historical networks. To this extent, digital tools are employed to conduct and extend consolidated practices of research in Art History, though impacting its scope in many ways. On the other hand, computational methodologies have significantly evolved in the last decades and have opened new frontiers in research and industry. The development of text-to-image software has raised new issues in the field of generative art and intellectual property, as well as the use of blockchain and NFT has reframed the role of cultural institutions toward the art market. Big Data analysis and Distant Viewing have also impacted the modes of art historical research, bringing structural and logical topics into the foreground, rather than as side products of scholarly investigations. Similarly, the predominant role of data visualisation for cultural heritage analysis significantly impacts decision-making processes, while the employment of interactive/immersive installations and the Web as instruments of participation and awareness introduce new practices for engaging with museum audiences, stakeholders and patrons. This dossier welcomes proposals in both aforementioned areas of interest, privileging those pertaining to the field of the Digital Humanities, Computer Science, and Art History, as well as from other sectors that want to engage in the exploration of Digital Art History in a transdisciplinary perspective. Proposals should address one or more of the following topics: - Methodologies or approaches in digital art history - Quantitative analysis of art historical data - Computational studies of authorship, connoisseurship, provenance, genre, style, and other relevant enquiries - Distant viewing and big data analysis - Methods, experiments, approaches and lessons learnt using generative art, Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, and NFT Important dates: - June 1st: articles submission - July 15th: peer-review - July 30th: rebuttal - September 1st: camera-ready - November: dossier publication as part of Umanistica Digitale Please refer to the journal’s Author Guidelines <https://umanisticadigitale.unibo.it/about/submissions> to format your article. Articles should be submitted via the journal’s online submission system, adding “Dossier Digital Art History” as a keyword.

Webinar on “Documenting and Preserving Languages with Unicode: A Talk on Character Encoding, Keyboards, and Fonts”
by Debbie Anderson 05 May '23

05 May '23

The Unicode Consortium will be holding a webinar on “Documenting and Preserving Languages with Unicode: A Talk on Character Encoding, Keyboards, and Fonts” on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. The presenters are Dr. Deborah Anderson (Chair, Unicode Script Ad Hoc and Project Lead, Script Encoding Initiative, Dept. of Linguistics, UC Berkeley) and Dr. Andrew Glass (Chair of Unicode CLDR Keyboards Subcommittee). Abstract: The Unicode Standard is the basis of electronic communication today on computers and devices, and hence is fundamental to documenting and preserving languages and the scripts used to write them. But understanding how Unicode is structured, how characters and scripts are added, and how to get characters on keyboards and in fonts can be challenging. This webinar on character encoding, keyboards, and fonts is geared to language practitioners and users generally. It will provide an overview of Unicode, explain how characters are organized in Unicode and how to propose new characters, and discuss accessing the characters on keyboards and fonts. Please register at: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Nm6l_jCnS9iMGGWswdbe5g#/registr… (N.B.: Please use the entire link above in the address bar, without a line break) For other, related talks, see the Scripts and Encoding playlist on the Unicode YouTube Channel. Please feel free to circulate this message to others who may be interested. With best wishes, Debbie (Anderson) dwanders(a)berkeley.edu

Call for Papers - Formulaic Language in Historical Research and Data Extraction: An International Conference, 7-9 February 2024, Amsterdam, Netherlands
by marijn Koolen 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

Formulaic Language in Historical Research and Data Extraction: An International Conference CALL FOR PAPERS Huygens Institute, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Amsterdam, 7-9 February 2024 Formulaic language is a phenomenon familiar to scholars working with a great variety of historical sources. In official documents such as charters, acts, laws, ordinances, proceedings, but also in ‘private’ texts such as letters, petitions, egodocuments, and literary texts, we find (sequences of) words that appear over and over again, often in the same position in the text, over a long period of time. Such formulaic elements seem to fulfill many different functions: they may help the reader understand the type or genre of a text, structure the text, indicate its performative character, strengthen the relationship between author and reader, or help memorizing a text, to name but a few. Given the highly formulaic character of many written sources, especially (but not only) of the premodern period, the phenomenon of formulaic language has received surprisingly little attention in historical research. It has been studied in (socio)linguistics and historical pragmatics, but few historians have engaged with this scholarship. Until recently, moreover, the potential of formulaic language for (automated) data extraction of large digitized source corpora has remained virtually unexplored. The twofold aim of this international conference is: 1. to place formulaic language on the agenda as an object of historical study (in the broadest, interdisciplinary sense of this term) 2. to explore the potential of formulaic language for the digitization and data extraction of historical sources of different types and periods. Possible questions that we would like to address in this conference include: • What is formulaic language? In which societal domains and historical sources can it be found? When and why has language been considered formulaic, and by whom? How is formulaic language defined and studied in different academic fields? How does the use of formulaic language vary across (national) linguistic traditions and across space and time? • How has formulaic language historically been understood? Which purposes has it served? How, when and where has formulaic language emerged, transferred or disappeared? How has formulaic language evolved over time, and how can change be explained? How does formulaic language in written texts relate to speech acts and ritual performances? How does it relate to text genres and genre conventions? • What are the social and political connotations and consequences of formulaic language? Who produces it, who engages with it, who knows how to use it, and who is excluded by it? How do (political, religious, legal) authorities, intermediaries, and ordinary language users employ, exploit, and interpret formulaic language? Does formulaic language facilitate or hinder the participation of subaltern groups in society? What is the relationship between formulaic language and the subsequent transitions from oral to written culture to the age of print and the digital age, or with processes of standardization, professionalization, and bureaucratization? • How can formulas be used to extract information from texts? What information do formulaic expressions convey about the subject or meaning of a text? Can they play a role in recognizing and contextualizing named entities? Can they help to link texts with other texts? • How can formulaic language be identified in text corpora and archives, including long serial publications and heterogeneous archives of diverse documents? How can formulaic expressions be categorized and how can relationships between formulas be identified? We welcome proposals for papers (c. 250 words) on these and related topics from scholars working in different fields. Proposals should be sent, together with a short bio- bibliographical statement including indication of institutional affiliation, by 15 June, to Republic_Goetgevonden(a)huygens.knaw.nl. Please give your email the title ‘Formulaic Language conference’. We will prioritize proposals that go beyond singular case studies and address questions that help us understand the phenomenon of formulaic language through comparisons across time, space, language, genre or corpus. This conference is organized in the framework of the project REPUBLIC: Resolutions Published in a Computational Environment. In this infrastructural project, (digital) historians, computer scientists, data experts and developers collaborate with the aim of providing digital access to the resolutions (decisions) of the Dutch States General (1576-1796). Organisers: Rik Hoekstra Marijn Koolen Joris Oddens Huygens Institute for the History and Culture of the Netherlands

The passing of Prof. Dino Buzzetti
by Fabio Ciotti 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, dear EADH community, It is with immense sadness that I must inform you of the passing of Prof. Dino Buzzetti, one of the deepest and most insightful minds in the Digital Humanities, whose theoretical contributions have been a source of inspiration for many generations of scholars. Dino was a member of the Executive of EADH and President and co-founder of AIUCD, the Italian digital humanities association that first became an Associate Organization of EADH, also and especially at his behest. For me personally, he was a master and a friend whose passing opened a void that is difficult to fill. Farewell Dino, Fabio Ciotti -- Professor Fabio Ciotti Dept.

new deadline

*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>.

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).

Reminder Submission DH4MA Workshop
by carola carlino 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Dear scholars, we would like to remind you that there is time until *April 12* to submit your proposals for the DH4MA workshop. Below are the guidelines previously shared. *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 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 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.
