[online event] Open to all: Open Space Day "From Uncertainty to Action: Advancing Research with Digital Data", 28 Sept., 2023
by christian.wachter＠uni-bielefeld.de 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

Join us on Zoom! Our Open Space Day as part of the Digital Academy 2023: “From Uncertainty to Action: Advancing Research with Digital Data” - 28 September, 2023. The Digital Academy once again invites you to a vital exchange on data-based research and digital methods. This year, we will focus on an issue that affects the Digital Humanities on all levels: uncertainty. In this context, uncertainty is not understood as something deficient that inevitably makes data-based research within the digital humanities blurry. Instead, uncertainty underscores contingent opportunities to productively explore and develop strategies of dealing with digital research data. Three experts will report on their research projects and share their views on the topic of uncertainty in data-driven research. In an interview format, they will elaborate on topics spanning from modeling digital corpora and scholarly/scientific concepts, questions of accessing digital data in born-digital archives, to strategies of capturing uncertainty in scholarly editions. After each interview, there will be an open discussion with the Zoom audience. Program of the Open Space Day: 28 September, 2023; all times in CEST 10.00 -10.15 am: Welcome 10.15 -11.45 am: Talking to an expert & discussion I: Michael Piotrowski (Department of Language and Information Sciences, Université de Lausanne) 11.45 am - 12.45 pm: Lunch break 12.45-2.15 pm: Talking to an expert & discussion II: Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London) 2.15-2:30 pm: Coffee break 2.30-4.00 pm: Talking to an expert & discussion III: Susan Schreibman (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University) The Zoom link is available on our website: <https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/geschichtswissenschaft/abteilung/a…> https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/geschichtswissenschaft/abteilung/a… We look forward to the exchange!

CfP: Digital History Switzerland 2024
by Moritz Twente 08 Sep '23

08 Sep '23

Dear members of Eadh-topics, I am happy to share a Call for Contributions for the conference ‹Digital History Switzerland 2024› that will take place in Basel, September 12–13, 2024. We invite scholars, researchers and professionals of all levels of experience from Switzerland and beyond to submit papers on the DHCH24 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. The Call for Contributions<https://bit.ly/dhch24_cfc> is open until December 1, 2023. Please visit our website for latest news and updates and to submit your abstract: https://bit.ly/dhch24 We are looking forward to your contributions! ——————— Call for Contributions 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. Call for Papers 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 Submission guidelines are provided on our website to ensure that your submission is properly formatted and submitted: bit.ly/dhch24_guidelines<https://bit.ly/dhch24_guidelines> Best regards, Moritz Twente Universität Basel Departement Geschichte digital-history-2024(a)unibas.ch

What metadata do literary studies need?
by jose.calvo 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

The NFDI consortium Text+, the DFG priority program Computational Literary Studies, and the EU project CLS-Infra have jointly created a survey on criteria for the creation of literary text corpora or collections. It only takes about 10 minutes to answer! https://survey.academiccloud.de/index.php/916873?lang=en The aim of this survey is to ask all researchers who create (digital) literary corpora or collections what information they need and consider for compilation. Currently, catalogs from libraries, archives, and digital platforms do not yet meet researchers' criteria because of different priorities regarding metadata. We want to change this and therefore ask the researchers themselves, for example, whether they are only looking for novels by 19th century French women authors for their corpus or rather what other information besides genre, gender and time period might be important. Of course, this does not mean that these metadata can be added right after the survey, but prioritization helps us to improve research infrastructures and the supply of digital corpora plus metadata. Take the first step with us and participate in the survey: https://survey.academiccloud.de/index.php/916873?lang=en Dr. José Calvo Tello Georg-August-Universität Göttingen Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen D-37073 Göttingen Digital Humanities Abteilung: Forschung und Entwicklung Papendiek 14 (Historisches Gebäude, Raum 2.407) Fachreferent für Romanistik, Kunstgeschichte und Digital Humanities Platz der Göttinger Sieben 1 (Zentralbibliothek, Raum 0.47) calvotello(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de http://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de [1] Links: ------ [1] http://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de/

Registration Open - Narratives From the Long Tail: Transforming Access to Audiovisual Archives Event Series, 25 - 29 September
by Yang Yuchen 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

[Apologies for cross-posting] Dear All, We are delighted to extend an invitation to you on behalf of the consortium of the Swiss National Science Foundation Sinergia Project, "Narratives From the Long Tail: Transforming Access to Audiovisual Archives"<https://www.futurecinema.live/>. Please Join us at EPFL, Switzerland, for a week-long series of thoughtfully curated events 25th - 29th of September that focus on exploring the exciting intersection of machine learning, visual analytics, digital museology, and archival science. With a 2-day PhD workshop, a half-day seminar, and a 2-day international symposium, this gathering brings together researchers and practitioners to address the current challenges in providing public access to the significant audiovisual archives of the 20th and 21st centuries: ----------------- PhD workshop Beyond Search: Opening Up Audiovisual Content for Humanities Studies <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/workshop-beyond-search-opening-up-audiovisu…>25-26 September 2023 (2 ECTS provided by EPFL, travel subsidy available) In recent years, audiovisual content, with its growing accessibility, rich hidden meanings, and complexity in modality, became a new frontier for research in humanities and computational domains. The quest for properly and meaningfully opening up the variety of information (such as historical, social, affective, and aesthetic) available in the ever-increasing audiovisual materials requires a collective effort from both sides to co-create not only new methods but also new research questions. This 2-day workshop, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of processing and utilising audiovisual data, provides an entry point and a test field for researchers working on digital humanities, audiovisual content understanding, and HCI to formulate and validate new ideas. Lecturers: Prof. Marina Hassapopoulou, New York University Ingrid Mason, National Film and Sound Archive of Australia Prof. Matthias Grotkopp, Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Mark Williams & Dr John P. Bell, Dartmouth College Dr Luca Rossetto, University of Zurich To access the full programme, including bios and abstract, or to apply, click here:https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/workshop-beyond-search-opening-up-audiovisual-content-for-humanities-studies-25-26-september-2023/ ----------------- Mini Seminar Constellations of Images: 'The Grande Conversion' in Cultural Archives <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/constellations-of-images-the-grande-convers…>27 September 2023 The digital era has witnessed a significant transformation in the accessibility and availability of cultural content in various formats, encompassing a wide range of art forms such as visual arts, cinema, literature, music, photography, and architecture. This shift from analogue to digital, referred to as the "grande conversion" by Milad Doueihi, continues to have a profound impact on our engagement with these creative expressions. Spinning off the new book Les Devenirs numériques des patrimoines (The Digital Futures of Heritage)<http://www.editions-msh.fr/livre/?GCOI=27351100825610>, this event carefully curated a series of talks drawing on a variety of disciplinary perspectives and examples, showcasing the progress and advantages of working with the ever-changing technologies. Speakers: Prof. Jeffrey Shaw, Hong Kong Baptist University Prof. Clarisse Bardiot, Rennes 2 University Prof. Daniel Foliard, Université Paris Cité Prof. Martine Beugnet, Université Paris Cité Lily Hibberd, Interdisciplinary Artist Prof. Sarah Kenderdine, EPFL Dr Susan Hazan, Digital Heritage, Israel To access the full programme, including bios and abstract, or to register, click here:https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/constellations-of-images-the-grande-conversion-in-large-audiovisual-archives/ ----------------- Symposium New Paradigms for Accessing and Curating Audiovisual Collections <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/events/new-paradigms-audiovisual-2023/>28-29 September 2023 In the context of the transformation, accessibility and curation of datafied content require rethinking to unlock meaningfully the complexity and large volume of audiovisual collections. For instance, standard web interfaces often ignore the potential of exploration and features like visual, auditory, and haptic, which are not easily accessible with traditional metadata. Scoping out an upgrade for accessing audiovisual archives can be facilitated via innovative curatorial access and informatics models that can activate new modes of engagement, interaction, and meaning-making. While pushing the boundaries for accessibility, the new interfaces, experiences, and curatorial models also raise technological and conceptual questions about every corner of the archival practice, especially on the preservation end, in the age of data. Addressing these challenges, this symposium is stimulated by a growing need for access models for audiovisual collections beyond traditional strategies and the need to reconceptualize curatorial and presentational frameworks and models. It aims to explore the intersection of cutting-edge computational methods and audiovisual archiving through three themed sessions, each designed to cover a specific and unique angle: * A Blurry Boundary: From Archive to Data * A New Way of Seeing: Analytics and Curation * In Progress and Practice: An Institutional Zoom-in Bring together more than 20 world-leading scholars in various fields (such as media and cultural studies, digital humanities, archival science, informatics and human-computer interaction), archivists and curators from heritage institutions, as well as domain experts and artists, this symposium will serve as a holistic venue to explore and critically reflect on the affordances and limitations of cutting-edge computational methods and tools for preserving, accessing and utilizing audiovisual materials and to push forward a digital and data-driven mindset for the future of audiovisual collections. To access the full programme, including bios and abstract, or to register, click here:https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/events/new-paradigms-audiovisual-2023/ ----------------- Visit the Pioneering Laboratory for Experimental Museology <https://www.epfl.ch/labs/emplus/>During all three events Each event invites participants to embark on a captivating journey through the cutting-edge Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+), where immersive visualisation, cultural data, and state-of-the-art technologies converge. Join our guided tour to explore unique visualisation systems, powerful sonic architectures, and groundbreaking techniques like motion capture and photogrammetry. Witness the transformation of tangible and intangible heritage into stunning ultra-high-resolution experiences. This exclusive opportunity unveils 20 years of research from pioneering laboratories in Sydney and Hong Kong, offering a glimpse into the future of post-cinematic multisensory engagement. As a part of the Sinergia Project: Narratives from the long tail, this guided tour will also showcase the latest interactive and embodied exploration interfaces developed for our content partners, such as the Eye Filmmuseum and the Radio Télévision Suisse. ----------------- Special Film Screening Film, the Living Record of Our Memory <https://filmthelivingrecordofourmemory.com/index.php>28 September 2023, during the symposium Why are we still able to watch moving images captured over 125 years ago? As we move ever further into the digital age, our audiovisual heritage seems to be taken increasingly for granted. However, much of our filmed history and cinema has already been lost forever. On the night of the 28th, we arranged a special screening of the latest documentary Film, the Living Record of Our Memory<https://filmthelivingrecordofourmemory.com/index.php>, where film archivists, curators, technicians and filmmakers from around the world explain what film preservation is and why it is needed. This documentary puts the focus on our protagonists are custodians of film whose work behind the scenes safeguards the survival of motion pictures. It is a task they undertake based on their closely held belief in the artistic and cultural value of the moving image, in tune with a shared mantra that a film might one day transform someone's life. This documentary is a homage to them all and sheds some light on their critical undertaking. ----------------- If you cannot make it in person, we will also provide streaming services for those participating online. Please use the respective link to register your online participation, and details will be sent shortly before the event. Should you have any questions or require further information regarding this symposium, please feel free to reach out to our coordinator Yuchen Yang at yuchen.yang(a)epfl.ch<mailto:[email protected]> Best, Narratives From the Long Tail Team.
