Digital humanities and cultural heritage: what relationship? Fourth AIUCD annual conference

Campus Einaudi - Lungo Dora Siena 100 - 10153 Torino

The AIUCD 2015 conference is dedicated to investigate the relationship
between the Digital Humanities and the broad field of Cultural Heritage,
a line of research that is open since the inception of the former.
On the one hand, the Cultural Heritage domain has been using digital
tools, processes and methodologies for quite a long time, but their use
does not imply a recognition of their role as scientifically qualifying.
On the other hand, galleries, libraries, archives and museums preserve
and provide access to a wealth of content that is the object of much
research carried out as part of the Digital Humanities.
It is therefore interesting to see if Digital Humanities tools and
methods have led and will lead to a redefinition of theoretical,
methodological and technical processes, up to an actual
re-conceptualization of knowledge in the Cultural Heritage field.

At least two issues indicate the existence of a connection: the
theoretical reflection on the management of information and data that
texts hold, which has been carried out as part of the management of
libraries, has important consequences for the whole wide area of the
Digital Humanities; in the context of research funding, the increasing
demand to describe what will be the public impact of planned research
identifies in a “relationship with society” topic a significant element
wide spread in the Cultural Heritage area. Furthermore, if on the one
hand the world of Cultural Heritage has started their own reflection
that also touches the Digital Humanities, on the other hand the Digital
Humanities are urged to communicate beyond the inner, often
self-referential,  circle of Academia, and to do this they are inspired
by the methods of communication and dissemination of knowledge that
belong to the Cultural Heritage world. In conclusion, a meeting of
Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage is already under way, it is
necessary to act and facilitate a cooperation that results in being as
effective as possible for both fields.

As a sign of openness and willingness to cooperate with the Cultural
Heritage world, conference organization is entrusted to the Centro di
Ricerca Interdipartimentale per la digitalizzazione e la realizzazione
di Biblioteche Digitali Umanistiche - MEDIHUM Memoria Digitalis
Humanistica (Università di Torino).

We are therefore soliciting papers in particular on – but not limited to
- the following topics:

- Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage: integration, separation,
independence?
- what relationship among Museums, Libraries, Archives and Digital
Humanities?
- how do Digital Humanities fit in Museums, Archives and Galleries?
visualization, imaging, graphic representations, immersive environments
in the Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage areas;
- which impact on society for research projects’ output in  the Digital
Humanities and Cultural Heritage areas?
- Public History: Museums, Libraries and Archives today are privileged
mediators between the public and its past, DH methodologies however
require new figures, aware of the issues and opportunities offered by
the digital world;
- which forms may the collaboration between cultural institutions and
digital humanists take in digitization projects, text encoding, critical
edition, digital curation?
- experiences of projects using principles and methods of the semantic
web, and Linked Open Data research.

CALL FOR PAPERS: It Was A Very Good Year: The Impact of 1215 on the Medieval World

Keynote Speaker:  Professor Richard Helmholz, University of Chicago

The year 1215 will be known forever among medieval historians for two groundbreaking events, the Fourth Lateran Council of Pope Innocent III and the creation of Magna Carta by the barons rebelling against King John of England.

MMHC welcomes papers on any topic of medieval history, especially proposals for papers on topics relevant to the theme of the impact of 1215.

Please send abstract (300 words maximum) via email attachment to Linda Mitchell, Program Chair,mitchellli@umkc.edu.  Deadline for paper proposals: June 30, 2015.

Graduate students presenting on the Friday sessions receive a modest travel stipend of $150.  Indicate your affiliation, degree program, and academic status when submitting paper proposal.

For information about the conference or local arrangements, please email local host, Steve Stofferahn (Steven.Stofferahn@indstate.edu) and/or program chair, Linda Mitchell (mitchellli@umkc.edu).

In addition, we welcome paper proposals focusing on the debate surrounding the notion of the development of a “persecuting society” in medieval Europe especially after 1215.  

CALL FOR PAPERS: “The History of the Future: Reinterpretation, Adaptation, Corruption”

Brown University History Graduate Student Colloquium

9th Annual HGSA Conference – October 2-3, 2015

Keynote address: Felice Lifshitz (University of Alberta), “Changing the Past to Change the Future: Cinematic Medievalism and the Politics of Gender”

Historical events occur in the past, but history happens in the present, as narratives from earlier times are constantly reassessed, reinterpreted, and transformed. This process of reinterpretation is a great source of vitality for history, meaning that a subject is never closed, no matter how substantial the existing body of literature. The dynamism of history as an academic discipline is also demonstrated in its willingness to constantly adapt methods and ideas borrowed from other disciplines ranging from anthropology to economics. In recent years, the emergence of the digital humanities has illustrated how new technologies developed outside the discipline can be harnessed in scholarship and public engagement. Finally, an important relationship exists between the scholarly community and the general public in transferring and translating knowledge. Historians not only have a responsibility to present their research to the public, but also to respond to popular corruptions of scholarly ideas, leading to a dialectic of scholarly and popular conceptions of history.

How will we continue to reinterpret the historiographies of various subfields? Where do new methods of historical research fit in with older empirical work in archives and how can they complement one another? How do scholarly ideas influence the public and vice-versa? We invite graduate students in history (and those in other disciplines whose research is related) to present their research in an attempt to address these questions. This is much more than a conference—it will allow students to their papers in an environment that will provide constructive feedback, then continue this intellectual exchange through a working group, allowing for ongoing fruitful engagement with peers at Brown University and from the United States and abroad.

Potential submissions may include (but are not limited to) the following:

·Transnational and connected histories

·Interdisciplinary works that complement history with another discipline

·Longue durée histories, including those using new digital technologies

·Applications of gender, race, and postcolonial theory

·Use of unorthodox sources (e.g. television, overlooked print media, art, or architecture)

·Collective memory and popular interpretations of history

·Borderlands histories

·Colonial histories and subaltern studies, especially in previously overlooked regions

·Studies involving unconventional historical actors (environmental history, technopolitics)

·Scholarship on the production and transmission of knowledge

Submission Guidelines:

Deadline for submission of drafts is June 19th, 2015. Individual paper submissions should include a paper title, a (maximum) 250-word abstract, and (maximum) 125-word author bio. All submissions should also note whether or not they will require multimedia services (e.g. PowerPoint or video). Successful candidates will be notified in late July and will need to submit final papers by August 21st.

Please e-mail submissions and questions to: BrownHGSA2015@gmail.com

MEARCSTAPA Sponsors "Behavior in Medieval Literature and Law: In Memory of Lisi Oliver"

It has only been a week since the devastating loss of Lisi Oliver, but we would like to honor her at SEMA this year. So:

 

SEMA 2016

CFP: Monstrous Behavior in Medieval Literature and Law: In Memory of Lisi Oliver  

Session Sponsor: MEARCSTAPA (Monsters: the Experimental Association for the Research of Cryptozoology Through Scholarly Theory and Practical Application).

Session Organizer: Larissa Tracy (Longwood University) 

Session Presider: Larissa Tracy (Longwood University)

 

In the introduction to The Body Legal in Barbarian Law, Lisi Oliver explains that her complex and interdisciplinary analysis is designed to help “lay to rest the use of the adjective ‘medieval’ often employed in modern prose to represent ‘uninformed’” (4). As her work often does, in The Body Legal Oliver took fragments and pieces of the past, with a particular interest in wounds, feud, community, and compensation, and created a clearer more nuanced understanding of the medieval world through a legal lens. Her work often explored monstrous behavior, or the modern assumptions of monstrous behavior, and sought to elucidate the causes and consequences of such actions. Her work has had a profound impact on the work of medieval scholars who have a similar interest in investigating the presumed monstrosity of the medieval past: torture, punishment, rape, feud, murder, wounding, and warfare. This session honors her work and her numerous contributions to this discipline with papers on monstrous behavior of any kind in medieval literary and legal texts. Interdisciplinary papers that also consider material, physical or visual evidence are also welcome.

 

Please send abstracts of 300 words and a brief bio to session organizer Larissa Tracy (kattracy@comcast.net) by June 25.

Balisage Symposium: Call for Short Talks

Balisage Symposium: Call for Short Talks
As part of the Balisage Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup, we want
to have an "inverted" paper session where the talks are short and there
is lots of time for discussion and debate after each talk. I think this
is going to be perhaps the most interesting session of the day, so
please join in!

Full text and submission details at
http://balisage.net/CulturalHeritage/Short-Talks-call.html

Cultural Heritage data tend to be complex and heterogeneous; they resist
generic solutions and often push tools and standards to the edges of
their capabilities. Complex problems would seem to demand complex
solutions, but as Gall's Law points out: "A complex system that works is
invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked."

The Balisage Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup invites proposals for
short presentations that aim to provoke discussion of how to design for
and cope with the complexity of Cultural Heritage materials. Do you have
a markup problem with no solution? Data too messy for your tools to
handle? An ingenious solution to a hard problem involving Cultural
Heritage materials? A heretical point of view about existing standards
and practices? We want to hear from you!

Presentations will be 10 minutes (or less) in length, followed by open
discussion, brainstorming, support, sympathy, and advice from our
audience of markup experts.

To propose a short presentation for the Symposium on Cultural Heritage
Markup send email to info@balisage.net. Proposals must be received by
June 19, 2015. Selection decisions will be announced by June 23, 2015.

"Women's Arts of the Body" - BABEL 2015.

Women’s Arts of the Body

Organizer: Irina Dumitrescu (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn)

 

Proposals to: irinaalexandradumitrescu@gmail.com

 

At the beginning of Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy, Philosophy arrives to drive out the Muses from Boethius’ cell. It is often said that the Philosophy is female because Latin philosophia is a feminine noun, and, indeed, the dialogue that follows continues a masculine tradition of inquiry and authorship. And yet, woven into this scene are not only female figures, but traces of women’s craft. Philosophy is a cloth-maker, having woven her own clothes, the Muses are described as actresses and whores, and both Muses and Philosophy aim to cure the sick Boethius with their healing arts. Although the dialogue that follows aims to teach the ailing man how to distance himself from worldly things, it begins with feminine craft and arts of the body.

 

This session invites contributions about women’s arts of the body, types of making that are “off the books” in two senses. Women’s lived experience is notoriously marginal to the historical written record, either effaced utterly or distorted in its representation. So are a host of practices and performances relating to the body that either were not deemed worthy of setting down, or were indeed nearly impossible to record. Such “arts of the body” include: spinning and weaving; needlework, knitting, sewing, quilting; cooking, baking, confectionery; brewing, distilling; pottery; cosmetics, hair-dressing; dancing, singing, acting; medicine, home-remedies, first aid; making perfumes and poisons; birth control, abortion, midwifery; sex-work.

 

Guiding questions are:

What biases do we find against feminine arts of the body, and how are they expressed in texts?

Under what historical circumstances do feminine “arts of the body” make it onto the books? 

When are they institutionally recognized, inscribed, recorded, or even just mentioned?

What effects do we notice due to the lack of a historical record? 

What kind of reconstruction or myth-making fills the archival gap?

In what cases do arts or crafts that had belonged to women become the purview of men, or vice versa?

How do women’s arts of the body intersect with race, class, and sexual orientation?

How are women’s arts of the body appropriated as metaphors for men’s work?

When does women’s work count as work? When does women’s art count as art?

How have women’s arts of the body been taught or passed down? 

What can be recovered about women’s teaching practices?

What kinds of gendered spaces are created or used for women’s arts of the body?

What tools can be used to recover and/or reconstruct lost arts of the body?

How are women’s arts of the body reflected and addressed in the contemporary world, including in online communities (Pinterest, Instagram, etc.)?

Contributions can take the form of a traditional paper, a performance, a re-creation, a tutorial, the presentation of an object and discussion of it, or some combination of these. Proposals that include a performance or hands-on aspect are particularly encouraged.

CFP: Lost Libraries and Imagined Archives

The conference will be held 9-11 October at the University of Toronto. Here's a link to the conference CFP:

 

http://babel-meeting.org/2015-meeting/cfp-2015-meeting/

 

And here's the info on the session on LOST LIBRARIES AND IMAGINED ARCHIVES

 

Organizer: Lisa Weston (California State University, Fresno)

Proposals to: lisaw@csufresno.edu

Books that do not exist — some that may have existed once and others that may never existed at all, but might or should have — can intrigue and seduce as much as those that do. So what of the libraries that might have held such treasures? What was lost in the cinders of Alexandria? What unrecorded tablets, scrolls, and manuscripts have been lost to natural disaster, to war, to collapse of civilization, to religious or political extremism? Some libraries, like that of Herculaneum’s Vesuvius-scorched scrolls, may one day be recovered. What libraries might be conjured from among the as yet unreadable texts of Mohenjo-Daro? Or undeciphered Linear A or Cretan hieroglyphic texts? Are there other archives, as yet un-catalogued or even un-excavated, that might even now be perishing? What of those we can only imagine? What if it were possible to recover the lost “literatures” of a Cahokia or Skara Brae? And then there are those libraries and archives that exist not in physical reality but only in the popular imagination, like the Miskatonic University Library’s unspeakable (and yet frequently spoken of) collection of forbidden texts. What is the connection between what we commemorate/mourn as lost and what we imagine — in desire or fear — might be or have been?

This session welcomes presentations/performances that seek to invoke the phantoms of such libraries, whether fully lost or still to be sought through scholarship and/or the imagination, engaging them in the form of short academic presentations, fictions, poetry, and/or other visual or aural formats. While focusing—as discussion of things lost will tend to do — on the past, it is to be hoped that this engagement will also to some measure address the perils of the present and future: the dangers of cultural conflict and censorship, the failure of institutional or corporate support, the fragility of e-texts and their personal and public repositories.
