Subject: Medioevo Europeo. Medieval Cultures and Technological Resources
Workshop
MEDIEVAL CULTURES ON THE WEB. INTEROPERABILITY THROUGH TEXT AND MANUSCRIPT DATABASES.
[A COST Action, for which see http://www.cost.eu/about_cost]
In Europe and in North-America several projects are trying to handle the
problem of the multitude of data-bases concerning medieval texts and
manuscripts. Different aims and standards are proposed by networks of
philologists, codicologists, librarians. The research about medieval
cultures will depend more and more on such decisions. Presenting an Italian
project of interoperability, the workshop will provide a discussion about
goals and practices for the next future.
COST Action IS1005
Medioevo Europeo. Medieval Cultures and Technological Resources.
Chair Agostino Paravicini Bagliani www.medioevoeuropeo.eu
The main objective of the Action is to increase accessibility to and
integration of
medieval research results and tools through improved technological
instruments and skills. Achieving the Action's objectives is made possible
through the collaboration of key European institutes that have developed
large scale databases, become familiar with related problems and attempted
to identify targeted solutions.
WORKING GROUP 2 - MANUSCRIPTS AND TEXTUAL TRADITION.
Chair Matthew Driscoll
From the Memorandum of Understanding: In keeping with the over-all aims of
the COST Action, Working Group 2 seeks to develop proposals for
standardising data pertaining to manuscripts and texts in order to
facilitate dialogue between existing and emerging electronic resources such
as manuscript catalogues and digital text editions.

Subject: Public Talk: Macroanalysis and the 19th-Century Irish Novel in English
Thursday 16th February
3:30 - 5:00 PM
Neill/Hoey Lecture Theatre, Trinity Long Room Hub
Macroanalysis and the 19th-Century Irish Novel in English
Dr Matthew Jockers, Lecturer and Academic Technology Specialist, Department of English, Stanford University
Dr. Jockers leverages text and data mining techniques to discuss how and why the 19th-century Irish novel (in English) is distinct from the British and American novel of the same period. In doing so he grapples with several current theories about the Irish novel and its relationship, for better or for worse, to the English realist novel of the same period. In doing so, Jockers catalogs a number of specifically Irish habits of style and theme and discusses how an Irish voice can be detected and heard amid a cacophony of 3500 Irish, British, and American novels from the period.

Matthew L. Jockers is Lecturer and Academic Technology Specialist in the Department of English at Stanford. Jockers is a graduate in English of Montana State University (B.A. 1989), University of Northern Colorado (M.A. 1993), and Southern Illinois University (Ph.D. 1997).
Jockers is the Co-Founder and Co-Director, with Franco Moretti, of the Stanford Literary Lab (http://litlab.stanford.edu/). His published work includes essays on computational approaches to authorship attribution, as well as papers on Irish and Irish-American literature. His book, Macroanalysis: Methods for Digital Literary History, is under contract with the University of Illinois Press.
Jockers's research involves computational approaches to the study of large collections of literature, what he calls ''macroanalysis." His approach has much in common with corpus linguistics and borrows from text-mining, information retrieval, and natural language processing. His research focus, however, is on strictly literary questions, especially questions related to literary history and the nature of literary change over time.
At Stanford Jockers teaches Irish literature and both introductory and advanced courses in humanities computing. He holds the distinction of being the first English Professor to assign 1200 novels in one class (see http://chronicle.com/article/The-Humanities-Go-Google/65713/).
Jockers blogs about his research at http://www.stanford.edu/~mjockers<http://www.stanford.edu/%7Emjockers> where recent entries include "The LDA Buffet is Now Open; or Latent Dirichlet Allocation for English Majors," "Machine-Classifying Novels and Plays by Genre," "Panning for Memes" and "Auto Converting Project Gutenberg Text to TEI." He can be found on twitter via -AT-mljockers and contacted via email at mjockers-AT-stanford.edu<mailto:mjockers-AT-stanford.edu>.

Subject: "Theory Dessert" at the Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures
The Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures and the _Hedgehog
Review_ present
Theory Dessert, Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures and the
Hedgehog Review
Friday, 2 p.m., Solarium, Colonnade Club
http://www.virginia.edu/humanities/2012/02/february-17-theory-dessert/
Our subject will be ‘information in the digital age’:
How do the technologies that humans make to engage the world come in
turn to shape us? Are there historical precedents to our current
situation? What forms of human agency might be particular to our digital
age?
Chad Wellmon and Chris Forster will open the conversation. Chad’s short
essay in the Hedgehog Review is available online at

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
