Programme and registration for a free online symposium on Legal Issues in Textual Scholarship (27 October 2023)
by Merisa Martinez 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, We are excited to share our finalised programme for the online symposium on Legal Issues in Textual Scholarship< https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home> that will take place at the end of this month *(27 October 2023)*! This event is free, but registration is required< https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home/registration> to obtain access to the event’s Zoom link. *Please register before 22 October.* Through the practice of editing culturally and historically relevant documents, textual scholars are regularly faced with legal restrictions to their scholarly endeavours – including both copyright and non-copyright restrictions such as the privacy and moral rights of authors. In practice, these added difficulties and legal uncertainties cause funding agencies, libraries, and archives to prioritise the digitisation and publication of less legally problematic materials – which threatens to cause a bias in our output as a research field. In an effort to move forward as a research community, the European Society for Textual Scholarship< https://textualscholarship.eu/> (ESTS) is organising an online symposium on Legal Issues in Textual Scholarship to address these obstacles, and reflect on the legal restrictions that may affect textual scholarship in the analog and digital paradigms. We will start the day by exposing some of the problems textual scholars are facing today when they work with copyrighted materials, establishing a legal framework for our discussion, and examining the impact generative AI may have on the field — now, and in the foreseeable future. After lunch, we will continue with a series of shorter papers by authors sharing their professional experiences dealing with copyright holders and their heirs, digitising cultural heritage materials in research and pedagogical contexts, and the use of born-digital source materials. Finally, we will end the day with reflections on the Copyright Act itself, and on how we may navigate these restrictions, and work within the legal boundaries that are set for us. * *For more information on the symposium, including short introductions for all speakers, and abstracts for their talks, please visit the event’s* website<https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home>. * * To register for this event, please follow this link.*< https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home/registration> We hope to see you there! All the best, Wout Dillen and Elsa Pereira, Organizing Committee Programme *(All times CET)* 10:00-10:20 | Opening Remarks 10:20-12:00 | Panel I * 10:20 | Dirk Van Hulle (University of Oxford): From the Golden Age of the Literary Manuscript to the Ice Age of Copyright * 11:00 | Paweł Kamocki (CLARIN ERIC): The Times and How They Are a-Changin'. Textual Scholarship and Copyright Law Today and in the AI-Generated Future 12:00-13:30 | Lunch Break 13:30-15:30 | Panel II * 13:30 | Elsa Pereira (University of Lisbon): Authors’ Heirs Obstructing Textual Scholarship in Portugal * 14:00 | Maia Ninidze (Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University): Digitisation of the Archives Belonging to the Heirs of the Classic Georgian Authors * 14:30 | Veijo Pulkkinen (University of Helsinki): A Double-Edged Sword: Digital Forensics and Research Permissions in the Study of Born-Digital Manuscripts * 15:00 | Wout Dillen (University of Borås): As Open as Possible, as Closed as Necessary.

Register now for Conference on Digital Hermeneutics in Frankfurt/Main, Germany
by Möbus, Dennis 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Dear Members of the EADH-Mailingslist, we have started the registration for our second international conference on Digital Hermeneutics, organized by the research cluster digital_culture at the FernUniversität in Hagen: Digital Hermeneutics II: Sources, Analysis, Interpretation, Annotation, and Curation The conference will take place at our side-campus in Frankfurt/Main on November 23/24. Please find the call below and attached a layout-version. Best regards, Dennis Möbus Register now: Digital Hermeneutics II: Sources, Analysis, Interpretation, Annotation, and Curation Veranstalter: Matthias Hemmje, Almut Leh, Uta Störl, Dennis Möbus, Binh Vu, Helmut Hofbauer, Christian Nawroth 23. November bis 24. November 2023 in Frankfurt am Main Digitization has reached almost all areas of science and scholarship. And even in the cultural sciences and humanities, computers, databases and digital tools are increasingly important. Last year's annual conference "Digital Hermeneutics: Machines, Procedures, Meaning<https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/digitale-hermeneutik/>" of the research cluster digital_culture<https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/forschung/schwerpunkte/digitale-kultur/index.s…> dealt with the theoretical and conceptual challenges inherent in hermeneutic methods, tools, and applications. The results of the conference supported understanding and meaning, when algorithms, programs, machines, and other technical procedures contribute to it[1]<https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/forschung/schwerpunkte/digitale-kultur/projekt…>. Following up on these initial theoretical and conceptual results, we now want to address more technical aspects of methods, technologies, tools, and applications supporting Digital Hermeneutics under the title "Digital Hermeneutics II: Sources, Analysis, Interpretation, Annotation, Curation" and take a look at digitally supported hermeneutic research processes and anticipate the future of digitized working practices in the cultural sciences and humanities. Without such digital support systems, it will no longer be possible to index, find, annotate, and curate the ever-growing number of digitally available resources for research data. Digital systems are also already in use for analyzing, indexing, enriching, and annotating multimedia data. But what about systems that support the analysis, annotation, and interpretation of digital research data - thus: representation of hermeneutic methods - and their results as well as supporting machine learning, reasoning, and finally automating the documentation of annotation, interpretation, and understanding? In an exchange between humanities scholars and computer scientists, we want to explore the possibilities and limits of the vision of digitally supported hermeneutics circling around the following questions: * Digitization processes bear the risk of information loss or structural shifts and biases. How can these risks be dealt with? * The transformation of sources to data involves coding and enables the enrichment with information. How does one deal with the loss of the original source characteristics? Do standardizations promote a focus on unifying features of different sources or can nuances and deviations also be mapped? * Do the questions and epistemological interests of humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences change the availability, quality, and quantity of sources in the form of data? * How can algorithms and tools support, possibly even expand, research questions and epistemological interests in the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences? * Can computer science also benefit from the discussion of methods in the humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies?

Call for papers: Digital History Switzerland 2024
by Enrico Natale 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

Dear list members, please find a call for papers and poster for the first edition of Digital History Switzerland 2024, a conference which aims to gather the community of historians interested to all things related to digital technologies from Switzerland and beyond. Deadline for proposals is December 1st, 2023. All details are available on this page: https://conferences.unibas.ch/frontend/index.php?folder_id=234&page_id= <https://conferences.unibas.ch/frontend/index.php?folder_id=234&page_id=> Best, Enrico Natale Call for Contributions: Digital History Switzerland 2024 Over the past few decades, history has gradually evolved into a discipline that is inconceivable without digital tools. Research rarely begins with manual browsing in archives, but rather on the Internet. Extending the legacy of quantitative history pioneered by the Annales School, quantitative methods such as distant reading complement established methods such as close reading and discourse analysis, and are becoming increasingly important as digital collections grow. AI systems like ChatGPT create new opportunities and challenges regarding text production and source analysis. Digital literacy and algorithmic criticism are one way of responding to this shift. Both students and researchers need to be trained and sensitized to the new demands and possibilities of digital research practice. Digital tools and methods are being integrated into history education to provide students with a solid foundation for their future research activities. Research collaborations need to be rethought under the conditions of digitization, etc. Within this general context, a lot of questions need urgently to be discussed. What are the basic elements of data literacy which every historian should know about? What is algorithmic criticism and how can it be practiced in our every-day research routines? How do we manage the data we produce during the research process? Which criteria (if any) should we use to choose a software for a specific task? Where to find help when faced with a methodological or a computer problem – or a combination of both? How to set up interdisciplinary collaborations? How do we handle technologies that some of their inventors construct as ‹black boxes›? How can we deal with the rapidly increasing demand for very different resources (e.g. technical knowledge, computing power, money)? etc. The conference provides a platform for scholars, researchers and professionals of all ages and levels of experience to discuss these challenges, exchange experiences, share best practices, and discuss forward-looking approaches to historical research in the digital age. It aims to promote digital literacy, raise awareness of the use of algorithms and AI systems, develop strategies for dealing with digital sources, encourage shared formats and methodologies, and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and best practices for collaborative historical research. The conference will also showcase projects and research in the field of digital history. It is planned that a selection of the papers presented at the conference will be published in a peer-reviewed open access publication. This is the first in a series of conferences that should take place every two years at a different Swiss university. Date, Venue and Registration Date: September 12–13, 2024 Venue: Kollegienhaus <https://osm.org/go/0CdsJT3xl-?m=>, University of Basel (on-site) Financial support is available for individuals whose institutions are unable to cover travel and accommodation costs. Please contact digital-history-2024(a)unibas.ch <mailto:[email protected]> for further details. Registration for Digital History Switzerland 2024 will be possible on this platform starting June 03, 2024. Call for Papers We invite scholars, researchers and professionals of all levels of experience to submit papers on the conference theme: "Historical Research, Digital Literacy and Algorithmic Criticism". We are particularly interested in papers that address ongoing research projects, innovative research methods, the use of software in historical research, data analysis, and digital tools. Papers should provide insightful analysis, provoke thoughtful discussion, and contribute to the understanding and advancement of digital literacy and algorithmic criticism in historical research. This is an excellent opportunity to share your work with a diverse audience, receive valuable feedback, contribute to the evolving discourse in the field of digital history, and build community. Call for Posters In addition to paper presentations, we also invite submissions for poster presentations. Posters provide a unique platform for presenting ongoing research projects, research methods, software, data, and tools in a visually appealing format. Poster presentations are an excellent way to showcase your work, stimulate discussion, and interact with conference attendees in a more informal setting. We encourage innovative, visually appealing posters that effectively communicate your research and its relevance to the conference theme. Submission Guidelines Please follow the submission guidelines <https://conferences.unibas.ch/frontend/index.php?page_id=1437> to ensure that your submission is properly formatted and submitted. infoclio.ch Gutenbergstrasse 37 3011 Bern Tel: +41 31 311 75 72 Colloque infoclio.ch 2023: Attention Please!

RIDE Call for Reviews: Crowd Editions
by Torsten Roeder 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

*RIDE Call for Reviews: Crowd Editions* The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is calling for reviews dedicated to crowd edited and peer sourced Digital Scholarly Editions (DSE). A publication of the reviews is planned in the online review journal for digital editions and resources RIDE under the topic “Crowd Edited Digital Scholarly Editions”. We are inviting reviews of such Digital Scholarly Editions from all Humanities disciplines. “Crowd edited” is understood in a broad sense: It describes a form of digitally enabled participation in the tasks that the creation and publication of a digital scholarly edition entail. It can imply that typical tasks, e.g., transcription, collation, annotation, (cross-)linking, or commentary, are “crowd sourced” or “peer sourced”, that means undertaken by a casual group of committed persons, through a publicly accessible platform. It can also imply that the edition is completely created by an independent public user group, e.g., on a social media platform (“social edition”). If you are interested in reviewing such a resource, please have a look at the complete call with all further details: https://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/call-for-reviews/crowd-editions-en/ All the best Torsten Roeder -- Dr. phil.

Call for Nominations: ADHO Roberto Busa Prize
by Fabio Ciotti 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Call for Nominations: ADHO Roberto Busa Prize The Roberto Busa Prize is an award of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO). It is named in honour of Father Roberto Busa, the first pioneer of humanities computing, who in 1949 began experiments in linguistic automation, with the support of the IBM offices in New York and Milan, as part of his analytical research on the writings of Thomas Aquinas. The computational work was central to the thirty years of research whose published output was the 56-volume Index Thomisticus, completed in 1980. The Busa award is given to recognise outstanding lifetime achievements in the application of information and communications technologies to humanities research. The award is given every three years, alternating with other ADHO awards, such as the Zampolli award. The first award was given to Father Busa himself in 1998. Subsequent winners have been John Burrows (2001) Susan Hockey (2004) Wilhelm Ott (2007) Joe Raben (2010) Willard McCarty (2013) and Helen Agüera (2016).
