Not all the workshops can, however, take more applications (see http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/921). Only in the following workshops there is still a small number of places available (please note that workshops run in parallel: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/953): Carol Chiodo (Yale University, USA) / Lauren Tilton (University of Richmond, USA): Hands on Humanities Data Workshop - Creation, Discovery and Analysis (2 weeks) Isabel Fuhrmann (Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften Berlin, Germany) / Erhard Hinrichs / Yana Strakatova (Universität Tübingen, Germany): Collocations from a multilingual perspective: theory, tools, and applications (1st week) Nils Reiter / Sarah Schulz (Universität Stuttgart, Germany): Reflected Text Analysis in the Digital Humanities (2nd week) David Joseph Wrisley (New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE) / Randa El Khatib (University of Victoria, Canada): Humanities Data and Mapping Environments (2 weeks) Laszlo Hunyadi / István Szekrényes (University of Debrecen, Hungary): Building and analysing multimodal corpora (2 weeks) Maciej Eder (Polish Academy of Sciences / Pedagogical University, Cracow, Poland) / Jeremi Ochab (Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland): Stylometry (2 weeks) Christoph Draxler (Universität München, Germany) / Thorsten Trippel (Eberhard-Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany): Asking questions to data in the humanities: right, correct, efficient (Introducing and comparing XQuery, SQL, SPARQL for data from the humanities) (2 weeks) Peter Bell (Heidelberg Academy of Science and Humanities, Germany) / Leonardo Impett (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland): Computer Vision Intervention.

The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. We can also *not* take more applications for CLARIN-D and ETCL fellowships. We received about three times more applications than the number of fellowships available. The Summer University takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session, teaser sessions and a panel discussion. The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based cooperations. The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives etc., but because it tries to integrate also linguistics with the Digital Humanities, which pose questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. It is special furthermore because it consciously aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide , i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany, Europe and many parts of the world, by relying on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between the so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. As the Summer University is dedicated not only to the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but also wants to foster community building and networking across disciplines, languages and cultures, countries and continents, the programme of the Summer School features also communal coffee breaks, communal lunches in the refectory of the university, and a rich cultural programme (thematic guided tours, visits of archives, museums and exhibitions, and communal dinners in different parts of Leipzig). For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities "Culture & Technology": http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available. If you have questions with respect to the European Summer University please direct them to esu_ct@uni-leipzig.de ESU DH C & T is a member of the International Digital Humanities Training Network.

How did geography constrain or enhance the development of past social networks? These are fundamental questions in both the study of the human past and network research, yet our ability to answer them is severely hampered by the limited development of spatiotemporal network methods. PastNet is an inter-disciplinary network that aims to stimulate the development and application of such methods through networking meetings, a conference and a workshop. Formal network methods are increasingly commonly applied in a wide range of disciplines to study phenomena as diverse as the connectivity of neurons in the human brain, terrorist networks, a billion interlinked Facebook profiles, and power grids. Despite this diversity and the decades-long tradition of using network methods in the social sciences, physics and computer science, the development of techniques for the study of spatial networks and long-term network change has so far been largely neglected. Network research is also becoming more common in disciplines concerned with the study of past human behaviour: archaeology, classics and history. These disciplines have a strong tradition in exploring long-term human behavioural change and spatial phenomena, despite being forced to use fragmentary textual and material sources as indirect evidence of such phenomena. By bringing together network researchers from a diverse range of fields such as archaeology, computer science, history and physics, The Connected Past 2018 conference in Oxford aims to foster cross-disciplinary exchange to push network research further. The historical disciplines will contribute new spatiotemporal approaches and datasets to network research, whereas the traditional network research disciplines will further stimulate the critical application of network approaches to the study of the human past. This event is part of The Connected Past series of conferences (http://connectedpast.net). It is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk) and is organised by the TORCH research network PastNet (https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/themes/pastnet-network). We welcome submissions of abstracts on the topic of spatial and temporal network approaches. We particularly welcome abstracts that address the challenges posed by the use of or apply network approaches in historical/archaeological research contexts, welcoming case studies drawn from all periods and places. Topics might include, but are not limited to: - Spatial networks - Temporal networks - Archaeological network research - Historical network research - Missing and incomplete data in archaeological and historical networks - What kinds of data can archaeologists and historians use to reconstruct past networks and what kinds of issues ensue? - Formal network analysis vs qualitative network approaches: pros, cons, potential, limitations Please submit your abstract limited to 250 words before midnight (GMT) of May 14th 2018 to  pastnet.contact@torch.ox.ac.uk --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 14:45:20 +0200 From: alexanderdunst Subject: Comics Annotation Workshop (Potsdam, 18-19 June) Dear All, We at the "Hybrid Narrativity" research group are organizing a workshop titled "Comics Annotation: Designing Common Frameworks for Empirical Research" that will be taking place on 18-19 June at the University of Potsdam (Germany). Please get in touch if you're interested in joining us. We have a few places left. Below is a short description of what we'll be doing and a list of participants so far. Best, Alex Workshop on Comics Annotation: Designing Common Frameworks for Empirical Research 18-19 June 2018 (Potsdam, Germany) This workshop will bring together scholars in the field of empirical comics research to define common standards and ensure interoperability between disciplines. Researchers interested in comics are increasingly discovering annotation as a necessary and highly beneficial way of digitally enriching their object of study and moving towards data-driven scholarship. For this purpose, a number of tools and data formats have been adopted in areas as diverse as literary and media studies, art history and linguistics, cognitive and computer science. While this diversity represents the outcome of different requirements and backgrounds, a lack of coordination may also make it difficult or even impossible to share data and compare results. The workshop aims to establish common frameworks for future research and answer the following questions: • What standards do we need to define to ensure interoperability between different researchers and approaches? • How can annotation schemes be developed and adapted for the visual aspects of artefacts such as comics? • How can integration be achieved between text-oriented standards, such as TEI and CBML, and further non-text-oriented schemes? • Where, and to what extent, do we need to move beyond, or in parallel to, XML to support empirical studies more broadly, taking in data on eyetracking, EEG, reading order, physiological responses, etc.?

Many thanks, Caitlin Voth, UBCO _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id A6BB4141C; Thu, 10 May 2018 08:33:47 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0BE6113B1; Thu, 10 May 2018 08:33:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DA081141B; Thu, 10 May 2018 08:33:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180510063344.DA081141B@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 08:33:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.5 doctoral defense (Amsterdam) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180510063347.20125.57021@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 5. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 14:38:56 +0000 From: Karina van Dalen-Oskam Subject: PhD defense Corina Koolen The second PhD project in The Riddle of Literary Quality (www.literaryquality.huygens.knaw.nl) is about to be finished. On Friday the 18th of May, 11:00 sharp, Corina Koolen will publicly defend her PhD thesis, "Reading beyond the female. The relationship between perception of author gender and literary quality", in the Aula of the University of Amsterdam, Singel 411, Amsterdam. After the Riddle project gathered the results of the National Reader Survey, the issue with author gender became obvious. Readers did not consider works by female authors to be of high literary quality. In her thesis, Koolen researches why this is the case. First, she examines the position of female authors in the Netherlands: in which genres do they publish? Why are their novels judged to be of lesser literary quality by the Dutch public? Second, she looks at the content of the novels: is gender really as important a factor in text style, topics, etc.? And is the topic of 'attention to physical appearance' typically a topic for female authors or not? With her analyses she debunks a number of the myths about literary quality that still exist in the current Dutch literary field: that female authors are judged equally; that they have equal chances; and that if they do not, that it is solely to blame on the literary quality of their work. The PhD was funded by the digital humanities special research area of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Amsterdam. Summaries of the thesis are available in Dutch (http://www.uva.nl/content/evenementen/promoties/2018/05/kan-een-vrouw-literair-schrijven.html) and English (http://literaryquality.huygens.knaw.nl/wp-content/uploads/Summary_Readingbeyondthe-female.pdf). Defense details Title: Reading beyond the female. The relationship between perception of author gender and literary quality Date/time: Friday May 18th, 2018, 11:00 sharp (until about 12:15) Location: Aula of the University of Amsterdam, Singel 411, Amsterdam A reception will be held at the same location after the defense.

What do we mean by digital scholarship? What is the character and value of scholarship within a digitally mediated archaeology? How do we learn and practice digital scholarship? How do particular digital technologies facilitate, enhance and change the nature of archaeological scholarship? In 1991 Ernest Boyer argued for the need for a more inclusive view of what it meant to be a scholar, and identified four specific dimensions of scholarship: knowledge acquired through research, through synthesis, through practice, and through teaching, otherwise described as the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application, and the scholarship of teaching. The prospective JCAA special journal issue aims to facilitate discussion on the theoretical and philosophical aspects of digital scholarship in archaeology as well as the implications of the use of digital technologies and computational methods across the extent of the archaeological knowledge chain: from discovery, through observation, explanation, and dissemination. How are research, synthesis, practice, and teaching within archaeology mediated and transformed by digital approaches? We seek contributions that discuss the implications of digital scholarship for: Archaeological fieldwork (excavation, survey, prospection) Archaeological archives and collections Archaeological research and interpretation Teaching and learning in archaeology The archaeological profession (in academia, industry and commercial sector) Public communication of archaeological knowledge Paper selection and submission: Potential contributors will submit abstracts of 500 words by May 31st 2018 to Jeremy Huggett (Jeremy.Huggett@glasgow.ac.uk) and Eleftheria Paliou (e.paliou@uni-koeln.de). The submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the editorial team and a selection of abstracts will be made that ensures content relevance and consistency. The authors of selected abstracts will be contacted to submit full manuscripts. Full manuscripts are expected to be completed and submitted for review at the JCAA by December 31st 2018. The submission and review of full manuscripts will follow the guidelines of the JCAA. This special issue is part of ongoing discussions in the Working Group 4 of the COST-Action ARKWORK: Archaeological Practices and Knowledge Work in the Digital Environment: https://www.arkwork.eu/ The Article Publication Charges (APC) will be covered by the COST-Action ARKWORK. Working Group 4 also intends to hold a funded workshop for contributors in September/October 2018 subject to agreement of the Management Committee of the COST-Action. The workshop will aim at refining the issues brought out in the accepted papers and stimulating discussion among authors.

The ways scholars and research organizations produce, disseminate, consume, and interact with content in an expanding number of media forms now involve changes in the nature of evidence, the nature of explication, technologically mediated workflows, ownership, access, and legal structures. The influence and impact of algorithms, bots, big data, and machine learning on scholarly publishing opens up new and exciting possibilities but also creates unprecedented challenges, especially when research requires partnership with private firms who control the access, study, and sharing of industry data. This Special Issue explores the impact of digital technology and the implications and opportunities it creates for scholarly inquiry, research, and communication. The issue seeks to synthesize developments in such areas as social media and big data analyses with possible and actual practitioner frameworks, methods, and tactics for benefiting from as well as understanding potential opportunities and challenges related to the nature and dynamics of data collection, content presentation, access, application, and curation. It will also highlight strategies researchers and journals as well as other publishers can consider as they design, plan, and integrate digital technologies into their research and communications. Potential contributors are encouraged to propose communication forms beyond text and research articles that maximize impact, engagement, and understanding inclusive of whatever media they see as most appropriate for their topic. A non-exhaustive list of possible scholarly subjects includes: • New modes of scholarly and research communications: practical applications • Effective audience and usage data: collection and analysis • Integrating data science: practical approaches to big data • Theory, tools, and applications of data visualization • Machine-written news and redefining the role of journalists • Algorithmic curation, news feeds, search, and the control and circulation of research • Ethics and impact of AI on scholarly communications Deadlines 1.

I didn't. And that leads me to wonder whether my failure to remember, indeed prepare for it by beginning a celebratory note ahead of time, has any significance beyond the personal. (No medicalisation, please!) All the usual excuses of a busy life stand ready to be deployed, but I'll leave them alone. The fact that the competitors for your professional attention are now themselves years old suggests that the perceptible decline in the number of postings, a tempting measure of attention drifting elsewhere, isn't due simply to them. I'll also leave untouched speculations based on the state of national and international political discourse, though I cannot help but wonder if my own frequent avoidance of the news that is seldom new is an indicator of something much larger. On the one hand, it is difficult to imagine a more exciting time intellectually, and never a time when more has been available across the disciplines. In a field which interpenetrates all others -- here we are -- there's never a lack of things to discuss and reasons for discussing them. On the other hand... That's where your comments and observations are needed. If, that is, your reception of Humanist has not been stopped by malfunctioning software, still under investigation.

I have recently stepped back in contributing to your (our) "international seminar on digital humanities" after more than 17 years of membership. But I'm still expecting somewhat impatiently the next issue of news coming out of London or somewhere in Australia to discover the intellectual gems formed out of experience and informed opinion among the job openings and conference announcements. Humanist has become and hopefully will remain a nourishing inspiration for me on a somewhat gloomy terrain. But then, it has always been quite easy for me to contribute and speak my mind (and sometimes deplorably and regettably, mood), because, during my professional life, I have been free of the institutional obligations that come with institutional affiliations. Perhaps the increasing professionalization of 'Digital Humanities ,' as it is called in German , has resulted in a reluctance to share ideas in an open situation. The applications and problems of digitally based techniques in the cultural sciences certainly have increased. There would be enough stuff for discussion. Allow me to repeat two quotations (in excerpt) which introduce your website, because they appear to summarize the very special nature of this truly international seminar: "[T]ruth is not born nor is it to be found inside the head of an individual person, it is born between people collectively searching for the truth, in the process of their dialogic interaction.... " (Mikhail Bakhtin) "'We' philosophers are... distinguished ... by our ability to engage in continuous conversation, testing one another, discovering our hidden presuppositions, changing our minds because we have listened to the voices of our fellows."» (Amelie Oksenberg Rorty) Thank you, Willard.

In-Reply-To: Evolving acronyms. Many years ago, in the early days of the STEM acronym, two of my NC State colleagues (Sarah Stein in Communications and Sam Averitt, an electrical engineer and IT/communications expert) suggested adding a letter, "A" for Arts (short for Arts & Humanities) -> STEAM. Now there is an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education "How Colleges Can Help STEM Students Think More Broadly" https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-Colleges-Can-Help-STEM/243376 which deals with this increase in scope. That article is "Premium" and I'm not sure how non-subscribers can get to it. That article refers to a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. It is about STEMM, with the additional "M" being for "Medicine". http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx? RecordID=24988&_ga=2.37129952.1902651955.1525701361-2134768044.1458052166 and the report itself is available for purchase or as a free PDF download. The Chronicle article criticizes the STEMM approach for lack of emphasis on the humanities - in my terminology, for not being STEAMM.

I, myself, have posted very rarely, so I am not in a position to complain. But I watch quite a few of the competing channels, and I notice a similar phenomenon on all of them. I'm really considering to cancel a few subscriptions to lists, as I seem to get the same announcements on many of them - and there is at least one quite active "blog", a much more modern medium, that is, which shares exactly the problem of many announcements and few (almost no) opinions. Could it be, that expressing an opinion has become fraught with dangers, at least perceived ones? No diagnosis - just: I may unsubscribe from quite a few of these other resources, I will not from Humanist.

The predominance of announcements on reflections, instead, might reflect a state in which we, possibly worn out by that never-ending complexity, agree to disagree, ride the current long DH wave, and pragmatically let practice define what we are and what we do. A risk might be that we get the illusion of perpetual motion: what we actually do (practice, funded projects) defines what we do. What is the external source of energy that keeps the wheel spinning, if not theoretical and methodological reflection? Possibly that adjective that I slip in ("funded")? I often wonder how long funding would keep pouring on our mill's wheel if projects should become increasingly arid in terms of DH methodological innovation. Which boils down -- for me -- to the fundamental question: what's the scientific advantage of doing X computationally, as opposed to doing it analogically on paper?

Let me suggest a different, I think better question: what's the scientific DIFFERENCE of doing X computationally as opposed to doing it on paper? Of course we're unlikely to do anything that is both hard work and often expensive, esp if it a funding agency has to be persuaded of its cogency, if we do not see and cannot articulate an advantage. But scientifically (in the European sense) isn't it the difference that opens minds?

Questions that incline me to think a fundamental question here is more like, are the Digital Humanities trying to be Sciences? If so, are they trying to do this by being computational, instead of being done on paper?

But > scientifically (in the European sense) isn't it the difference that > opens minds? The scientific "advantage" or the "DIFFERENCE" can be interpreted in (at least) two different ways. I'll start with the basic idea that the computer can't/doesn't do anything that we can't do by hand (analogically) - it just does it faster. That IMHO is the root of Willard's mention of "hard work" (i.e. how long it will take) and "expensive" (i.e.of the cost of labor.) The computer lets us do work, including DH work, that otherwise wouldn't be feasible. So that's a "methodological innovation" which can be useful in terms of results, and it's the results which provide the advantage/justification. Making a concordance without a computer (which is the historical way of doing it) is expensive - so expensive that it was done only for extremely treasured documents. Today, with computers, it's so cheap that it's done without concern, or simply done dynamically (search) without even trying to save the cost of repetition. Is this a DH example? I'll claim that it is, and that it would have been so labeled 60 years ago if the DH phrase had been invented then. Another example is more recent and described in "Use of positive and negative words in scientific PubMed abstracts between 1974 and 2014: retrospective analysis" https://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h6467 Studying the use of language in science fits into the humanities, and this study would not have been feasible without the use of computer to search the possibly millions of abstracts. --henry schaffer > > Yours, > WM > > -- > Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor emeritus, Department of > Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western > Sydney University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews > (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 3C6E81491; Tue, 15 May 2018 08:12:58 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5F452147F; Tue, 15 May 2018 08:12:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 07B351381; Tue, 15 May 2018 08:12:53 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180515061254.07B351381@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 15 May 2018 08:12:53 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.19 degrees in digital humanities or arts X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180515061257.22316.63882@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 19.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 14 May 2018 14:13:49 +0000 From: James Cummings Subject: AHRC-funded NPIF PhD in digital editing at Newcastle University The School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics at Newcastle University is encouraging EU/UK resident MA students to apply for an AHRC-funded NPIF PhD Studentship to be supervised by Professor Michael Rossington and Dr James Cummings on a project related to Animating Text Newcastle University (ATNU). In case you know any MA students who might be interested, there is more information about the ATNU project below. Information about the application procedure is available at: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/study/postgraduate/funding/npif/. Please forward to anyone you think may be interested. ==== AHRC National Productivity Investment Fund Studentships Do you want to do a funded PhD in digital editing at Newcastle University? The NBDTP and N-SC have been jointly awarded a number of AHRC National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) Studentships specifically focussing on Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Research, beginning October 2018. These studentships also need to demonstrate alignment with the Industrial Strategy and involve an industry engagement or collaboration with an industry partner (including the Creative Industries). The competition is open to all applicants who meet the AHRC’s eligibility criteria for UK/EU students, and the award of studentships is based on the quality of applicants and their proposed research and the extent to which that research aligns with the criteria around the Industrial Strategy, with particular emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. The Animating Text Newcastle University (ATNU) project http://research.ncl.ac.uk/atnu is looking for students wishing to do a PhD at Newcastle University to apply for AHRC NPIF Studentships, especially focussing on Data-Driven Research relating to digital editions. A project suggestion (with Professor Michael Rossington and Dr James Cummings as supervisors) is below but the ATNU project would be open to supervising other related PhD projects that align with the industrial strategy and ATNU’s research interests to some degree. We are willing to work with you to produce a successful application. Project Suggestion: The title of the proposed project is ‘Animating Manuscripts’ (AM). The data for AM will be the manuscript witnesses of a manageable corpus of poems by Percy Shelley. Some will be holographs (manuscripts in the hand of the author) and will include versions in varying states from rough drafts through fair copies to press copies. Others will be copies by made by the poet’s circle including Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont and Edward Williams. The core research question asked in AM will be: what digital technologies are appropriate to bring to life for twenty-first century scholarly and wider audiences the process by which a poem is created in the early nineteenth century? The research context includes the ongoing Shelley-Godwin Archive project http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/ based at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities. It is hoped that the student will benefit from excellent relations between the supervisors and S-GA staff (e.g. through undertaking a placement at MITH). But the objectives of AM and S-GA are quite distinct. S-GA is an archival project which reproduces high-quality scans of manuscript leaves with, in each case, an encoded diplomatic transcription alongside. However, AM will explore and represent the process of poetic creation dynamically and often across different manuscripts at the same time. Rather than traditional scholarly methods of collating a base-text with earlier or later versions through lists of variants in footnotes or in an appendix, AM will seek to, first, interpret the process of a poem’s composition and, second, to trace that process digitally. There will be scope for the student to experiment with the data in different ways. For example, one piece of research might focus on the evolution of a single stanza of a poem, or even a single line of verse on a page or pages of a single manuscript. Another line of inquiry might look at the evolution of a short poem from initial rough draft through intermediate copy, both in Percy Shelley’s hand, to a copy made with publication in mind in Mary Shelley’s hand. In this way, the project will explore whether the role of a transcriber (whether author or someone else) and an editor merge, and whether transcription is best understood not as the faithful reproduction of an earlier version but as editorial intervention. Asking whether a data-driven and dynamic digital approach to represent this process can lead to greater knowledge and understanding of the evolution of a literary text than traditional print methods is a question at the heart of this project. Your Background: You should have (or will have by autumn 2018) an MA in a related field (English Literature, History, Digital Humanities, etc.). You should be interested in some or all of manuscripts, Shelley, digital editions, and digital literary studies. You will be resident in the UK or EU and interested in undertaking a PhD at Newcastle University. Proposed Supervisors: Professor Michael Rossington (Professor of Romantic Literature) https://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/staff/profile/michaelrossington.html and Dr James Cummings (Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Digital Humanities) https://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/staff/profile/jamescummings.html Potential Partners: We have already made contact with a number of potential relevant partners including the Keats-Shelley House in Rome and the publishing company Routledge. How to apply: Applications must be submitted by 5pm on 31 May 2018 using the form and instructions provided here: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/study/postgraduate/funding/npif/ If you have any questions about the ATNU studentship or if a different project proposal might be suitable for ATNU, then please contact Michael Rossington (Michael.Rossington@newcastle.ac.uk) and James Cummings (James.Cummings@newcastle.ac.uk).

Blay Whitby, in "The Turing Test: Al's Biggest Blind Alley?", in Machines and Thought, vol. 1, ed. Millican and Clark, points out that Turing was always careful to talk about his "imitation game", never a "test". A game is an activity to be played; a test is something you pass or fail. Big difference. Turing's friend Robin Gandy relates the mischievousness and provocative intent with which Turing devised the game, in "Human versus mechanical intelligence" (same volume). It seems to me that here we have invented a goalpost and as in other instances we are moving it to suit the unannounced but rather obvious agenda of the publicists and digital empire builders. The fellow from Google is quite clear as to the goal: it isn't to construct a system that will be intelligent in any sense we might celebrate, rather to imitate a servant whose intelligence has been suppressed by his or her position. Here the old vision -- at least as old as the 1960s -- of robotic servants has yet again been dressed up in near-futuristic clothing. See, for example, A. Webster, ‘‘Computers: The New Age of Miracles. Hundreds of Brains in a Thimble’’, in The Globe and Mail (Toronto, Canada), November 16 1965, which I quote in the context of Semantic Web boasting, in "The future of digital humanities is a matter of words", A Companion to New Media Dynamics, ed. Hartley, Burgess and Bruns (2013). Contrast what Demis Hassabis, David Silver and others are doing with AlphaGo: edging their way to a different 'intelligence', one that 'thinks' unlike us, in its native combinatorial mode. See Silver et al, "Mastering the game of Go without human knowledge", Nature 550 (19 October 2017).

The broad theme of the conference will be „Data in Digital Humanities”. See full Call for Reviewers in English below or visit https://eadh.org/news/2018/03/21/call-reviewers-eadh-2018 **Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested.** Kind regards, Francesca Giovannetti Communication fellow, EADH Call for Reviewers EADH 2018 The 1st EADH Congress, to be held in Galway, Ireland from 7-9 December 2018 is seeking proposal reviewers. The broad theme of the conference will be „Data in Digital Humanities”. This conference will implement the EADH multi-lingualism policy – that is, to foster multilingualism as an appreciation and recognition that our studies are closely tied to the cultures which nourish them, and that in this relationship the specificity of language is an essential component. Thus the EADH endeavours to promote diversity and dialogue among cultures and languages, and to avoid the privileging of one culture/language to the exclusion of others. In practical terms EADH in its conferences accepts proposals in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish; and other languages subject to the availability of reviewers. The EADH is seeking to establish a wide and as varied as possible a pool of reviewers for this conference. Reviewer candidates must meet at least two of the following requirements: Be currently associated (or have been recently associated) professionally with an institutional DH program, project, or initiative within the last three years. Hold at least a Master’s degree or equivalent in a DH-relevant discipline (including, but not limited to, the Humanities, Social or Natural Sciences, Library Science, Fine Arts, etc.) Have published a DH-specific article or essay in a scholarly journal or volume (either print or electronic) Candidates should state all the languages in which they can review proposals. The conference Call for Papers will be published shortly. It is expected that the review process will take place during May and June 2018. Please ask your nominees to submit their information and qualifications, and to indicate their willingness to serve as reviewers on the form below. Forms should be returned by email to eadh.conference.2018@gmail.com Self-nominations are welcome.

I take the liberty to do so, as you raise a question, which is dear to my heart (or rather: a constant worry) - and being not from an English speaking country, it may be more obvious to me. I'm referring to: Am 15.05.2018 um 08:12 schrieb Humanist Discussion Group: > And, Willard, what is the "European sense" of > 'scientifically'? Do other parts of the world have other > senses of this term? Purely linguistically, you have two different concepts of [scientia] (to signify the abstract concept, different from its different linguistic realizations). [scientia-1] can be seen as "science" as in English, where it is almost always used as a term describing a set of activities intrinsically different from the "Humanities", leave alone the "Arts". (While the "Humanities" and the "Arts" are close buddies.) [scientia-2] can be seen as "Wissenschaft" as in German, with a similar phenomenon in other languages, where it is used as a term describing a general attitude to apply a rational way to proceed, when you try to answer a question. This means, that it is a very general concept, which includes all, the "Naturwissenschaften" (ca. "Science", "hard sciences"), the "Sozialwissenschaften" ("Social science", "soft sciences") and indeed the "Geisteswissenschaften" (ca. "Humanities"). "Wissenschaft" is NOT particularly closely related to "Kunst" (the arts). (So an American / British faculty department of philology will frequently offer degrees or at least courses in "creative writing". As far as I know, no such degree - or even course - exists at a German speaking university.) I should mention, that that has a few political implications. As a rule of the dumb you can assume that funding in countries where [scientia-2] is valid is considerably more generous to the local equivalent of the Humanities, than in countries which subscribe to [scientia-1]. But this is just a sidenote. As I have given up to use the term "Digital Humanities" as void of semantic content besides being vaguely fashionable, I cannot comment on your question "are the Digital Humanities trying to be Sciences?". However, the way in which you approach information technology is EXTREMELY different, depending on whether you start from [scientia-1] or [scientia-2]. As a hard case of [scientia-2] I find it not particularly astonishing, that a humanist may consider using an approach that is connected to "science". I am aware and have met quite a few hard cases of [scientia-1] who consider that as rather scandalous, though. Best, Manfred --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 May 2018 08:06:41 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: 'science' in more sense than one, or two In-Reply-To: <20180515061206.C6464147F@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> While we're on the subject of 'science' in what I called 'the European sense' versus 'science' in the N American and largely Anglophone (thank you, Manfred), I think we also need to consider the rest of the world insofar as it can be discerned from perspectives other than our 21st-century Euro-American one. A very good place to begin is with the first issue of the new Chicago journal Know: A Journal on the Formation of Knowledge (https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/know/2017/1/1). I've two reasons for recommending Know as a place to start and for recommending that we start. One is that (forgive the baby-boomer, flower-power vocabulary) expanding the mind is a Good Thing, yes? Or, perhaps better because more up-to-date and esp because de-centric, the Really Good Thing is refiguring the mind to be what happens when the brain gets involved with the affordances provided by the world, its other creatures and cultures. In other words, no matter how liberal and benevolent a view from the panopticon may be (see Foucault), it's a prison looking out on prisoners. Less wildly, the second reason is that we scholars involved with computing need as rich a context as we can find to help us figure out how it is that we come to know things when we interact with the digital machine. This, I think, must rank very high on the list of very hard worthy problems that belong to us and to anyone who wants to join forces with us. This rich context is, in fact, supplied by the sum of ways of coming to know here and elsewhere, in the present and the past, hence (forgive me, Manfred) scientia 1+2+...+n, where n is a finite but indefinitely large number. Know 1.1 provides a start. If -- I think this is solid -- our machine in essence counts, sorts and does arithmetic, then we need to look carefully into counting, sorting and arithmetic practices as ways of understanding the world wherever and whenever we can find them. Suggestions and reactions most welcome.

First it discusses how the French Book Trade in Enlightenment Europe (FBTEE) database project at Western Sydney has been taking a big data approach to challenge accepted views of the enlightenment and eighteenth-century culture. Second it will explore how the project is working towards developing a linked data ecosystem for studying the reception of books and ideas between and across historical periods, and some of the challenges and opportunities involved in taking such an approach remain considerable. Marrying together, curation and online presentation of multiple bibliometric datasets produced using different sources, by different teams, at different times, using differing disciplinary norms and for different end purposes presents formidable practical and conceptual obstacles. The resources that result are likely to be complex and require highly refined analytical tools to interpret them. But since our technologies are agnostic to historical context, the FBTEE project and allied projects are now beginning to apply them to further times and places including projects on the C18 British Atlantic world and C20 Australia. Simon Burrows is Professor of Digital Humanities and Professor of History at Western Sydney University, Australia. He holds his DPhil from Oxford and has also worked at the Universities of Waikato (NZ) and Leeds (UK). He is best known for his path-breaking digital project on ‘The French Book Trade in Enlightenment Europe’ and is now lead investigator on its successor project, the ARC funded ‘Mapping Print, Charting Enlightenment’ project. He is also an investigator on Jason Ensor’s sister project, ARCHivER, an Australian National Data Service funded linked data project on the Angus and Robertson Archive. Simon Burrows is author of French Exile Journalism and European Politics, 1792-1814 (2000); Blackmail, Scandal and Revolution: London’s French Libellistes, 1758-1792 (2006) and A King’s Ransom: The Life of Charles Théveneau de Morande, Blackmailer, Scandalmonger and Master-Spy (2010). He has co-edited important collections on Press Politics and the Public Sphere (2002); Cultural Transfers (2010); and The Chevalier d’Eon and his Worlds (2010). A further monograph entitled Enlightenment Bestsellers is scheduled for publication in 2018 and a co-edited collection on Digitizing Enlightenment for 2019.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 20 May 2018 13:47:08 +0200 From: Stefan Krebs Subject: CfP Workshop: Histories of Technology’s Persistence: Repair, Reuse and Disposal In-Reply-To: Call for papers Histories of Technology's Persistence: Repair, Reuse and Disposal Workshop at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH), University of Luxembourg 7-8 December 2018 Submission deadline: 2 July 2018 The everyday use of technology involves practices of maintenance and repair but also raises questions of reuse and removal, dismantling and disposal. According to Stephen Graham and Nigel Thrift (2007: 19), repair and maintenance constitute "the engine room of modern economies and societies". The current "maintainers network" (Russell/Vinsel 2018) argues for an emphasis on maintenance instead of the traditional focus on invention and innovation in the field of history of technology. Indeed, we still know surprisingly little about the history of repair, reuse and disposal practices. In his plea for a history of "technology-in-use", David Edgerton (2008: 81) summarised: "Unfortunately we are not in a position to give an overview of the main trends in the history of maintenance and repair. Has maintenance as a proportion of output gone up or down? Where there has been a trade-off between initial cost and maintenance, what have producers and consumers gone for?" We still lack answers to these questions, which is why we are organising a workshop to bring together historians of maintenance and repair. Furthermore, we want to combine our focus on maintenance and repair with issues of reuse, dismantling and disposal. Repair, reuse and removal are closely interlinked phenomena related to the lives and persistence of technologies, and they go beyond the question of innovation: When technical artefacts become old and outworn, decisions have to be taken as to whether it is necessary, worthwhile or possible to maintain and repair them, to reuse or dismantle them for different purposes, or to get rid of them. And these decisions depend among other factors on the availability of second-hand markets, repair infrastructures and dismantling or disposal facilities. This is why cultures of repair should be studied with regard to the life span of technical artefacts and their possible "second" or "third lives" and "afterlives" (Krebs/Schabacher/Weber 2018). Steve Jackson recently argued for "broken world thinking": Historians of technology should take "erosion, breakdown, and decay, rather than novelty, growth, and progress, as (...) starting points" for their research and narratives (Jackson 2014: 221). In a similar vein, but with an emphasis on technology's persistence, we would like to stress the long lives of old technologies whose form and duration has been shaped by maintenance, repair, reuse and disposal infrastructures, by their availability or absence, and by the related economies of waste, recycling and reuse. It is generally assumed that practices of repair and reuse have gradually declined along with the rise of 20th-century mass production, mass consumption and throw-away societies. However, it is safe to argue that maintenance and repair have not become obsolete in modern consumer societies. For one, production and infrastructure facilities are in constant need of maintenance to keep them running. And even the spread of new consumer technologies such as automobiles, television sets and household appliances has greatly depended on maintenance and repair services as well as second-hand markets and refurbishment shops (Krebs/Schabacher/Weber 2018). Moreover, while cultures of repair have declined in certain areas, they have thrived in others, as can be seen by the post-war "do-it-yourself" and the current "iFixit" movements. Seen from a global perspective, repair and reuse markets have not disappeared, but have been outsourced -- along with toxic waste disposal and recycling practices -- to regions far away from the places of technologies' first-time usage. In short, the aim of our international workshop is to bring together the growing scholarship in the history of repair, reuse, dismantling and disposal. Some of the questions we would like to address are: -- What can we learn from microhistories of repair, reuse and waste disposal? And from a macro-historical perspective: How have the economies of repair, reuse and removal changed over time? -- What links can be identified between the rise and decline of maintenance and disposal systems and societal developments? For instance, how has the governance of maintenance and disposal changed (or not) between pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial societies? -- What role has maintenance played in the development and momentum of technical infrastructures and large technological systems? -- Who are the agents and experts of maintenance, reuse and disposal, and what socio-technical positions do they hold? -- How have the supply and pricing of spare parts, the repairability of technical designs, legal questions of maintenance and warranty, as well as disposal requirements changed over time? What role have standards and regulations played in shaping maintenance and disposal regimes? -- What is the role of a historiography of maintenance, repair, reuse and waste disposal? Should historians contribute to the current repair movement and in what ways might they contribute to a more sustainable world? Travel and accommodation costs of invited workshop participants will be covered by the C2DH. The workshop will be based on pre-circulated papers (approx. 4,000 words; deadline 16 November 2018). Workshop contributions will be published in an edited volume (print and open access ebook). Please send proposals (350 words) to stefan.krebs@uni.lu; deadline 2 July 2018.

Armand" Subject: Job announcements Call for applications – ERC ENEP-China project 1 Postdoc position in computing 1 Postdoc research position (NLP) 1 Data scientist position 3 Ph.D. positions The project ENEP-CHINA proposes a step-change in the study of modern China reliant upon scalable data-rich history. It will deliver precise historical information at an unprecedented scale from heretofore untapped sources – as well as reshaping the analysis of existing sources – to create a new dimension in the study of the transformation of elites in modern China. It will deploy an array of cutting-edge digital methods — including data mining, sampling, and analysis within an integrated virtual research environment. To establish the validity of this approach, the project focuses on the three urban areas (Shanghai, Beijing/Tianjin, Canton/Hong Kong) that had the most profound impact on the course of modern Chinese history. The key issue that the project will address is breaking through existing limits of access to historical information that is embedded in complex sources and its transformation into refined, re-usable and sustainable data for contemporary and future study of modern China. This project borrows substantially from the concepts and methods, especially quantitative methods and network analysis from sociology and political science. For the analysis of textual corpora, it draws on the procedures and applications developed in linguistics and literary studies to explore large corpora of unstructured texts. Finally, it implements the most advanced tools and methods designed in computing, especially data mining and machine learning.

This merger brings together two useful tool registries in the digital humanities. Please visit http://tapor.ca http://tapor.ca/ and help us curate this joint collection. We need help! With an expanded collection of tools, TAPoR now features tools that go beyond text analysis, but we need your help to curate the registry. TAPoR has a curated list feature and we are looking for Associate Editors who are willing to manage a list of tools around a specific discipline, need, audience, theme or technology. If you are interested, please contact Geoffrey Rockwell or Stéfan Sinclair and propose a thematic list. Tool reviewers also needed! TAPoR has a “pinned” comments feature that allows us to pin reviews to the top of the list of comments. If you or your students want to review tools and contribute to keeping TAPoR current please write us. What is next? Currently, the images from DiRT have not been included with the new tools, but they will be shortly. We also need your help reviewing tool entries and correcting out-of-date information. What to learn more about this merger? Come to our talk at CSDH-SCHN on “Absorbing DiRT: Tool Discovery in the Digital Age” Sunday 27th of May. We will talk about the challenges of maintaining such directories and how we managed the merger. We want recognize everyone who has been involved with DiRT Directory throughout its history. The DiRT Directory evolved from Project Bamboo, which developed “Bamboo DiRT” from Lisa Spiro’s "DiRT Wiki.” DiRT will no longer be maintained/updated.

Since its founding in 2013, the CRIHN has been thinking through various projects with the following two objectives in mind, both of which motivate this first international conference: - In terms of practices: offering an overview of existing experiences by inventorying the strengths and weaknesses of tools and platforms; experimenting with the use of data mining and visualization tools; integrating these tools into ongoing and developing projects; - On the theoretical level: understanding the impact of digital technology on the process of production and circulation of knowledge; defining new reading / writing models for the humanities; deploying new content validation devices and fostering new relationships between researchers, scientific communities, and society at large. With changes in media, publication methods, mechanisms of visibility, access to information and circulation of content, our entire relationship to knowledge is being challenged. It is now part of a circular dynamic closely associating the production, circulation and validation of knowledge. The Call for Papers for the Conference « Repenser les humanités numériques / Thinking the Digital Humanities Anew » is based on the three research axes of the Centre, which are constructed around fundamental questions concerning the transformation of the Humanities by Digital Humanities: - Axis 1: Production – Digital Writing and Editorialization - Axis 2: Circulation – Digitization and Recontextualization - Axis 3: Validation – Legitimization of Content We are soliciting oral proposals in French or in English on work in progress or on work completed in relation to these three areas. Topics may include the following: - Electronic Editions; - Changes to Scholarly Publishing; - New forms of Editorialization; - Digital Museology; - Art History and Digital Visual Culture; - Linguistics and Computer Translation; - Analysis of Digital Social Networks; - Geographic Information System ; - Visualization and Interfaces; - Digital Humanism; - Digital Sociology; - Open Access Policy; - Pedagogy of the Digital Humanities - Cyberinfrastructures; - Digital Environmental Studies Proposals (500 to 750 words) for 20 minute presentations or posters will be received until the 13th of July 2018 via our online form: https://goo.gl/sPgT4o (The results will be announced by the end of July.) We are pleased to offer several travel bursaries for students to attend the conference. A selection of papers will be published in 2019. The first in the form of a Special Issue in English of "Digital Studies / Le champ numérique" (a Canadian electronic journal available for free access) which will accommodate ten articles. The second will be a collection of essays in French which will be proposed in the collection "Parcours numériques" published by Presses de l’Université de Montréal.

Sinatra (Professor of English Literature at the University of Montreal and Founding Director of CRIHN). --- VERSION FRANÇAISE --- À l’occasion de la semaine mondiale de l’accès libre 2018, le Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur les humanités numériques fêtera ses cinq ans avec son premier colloque international bilingue sur le thème « Repenser les humanités numériques / Thinking the Digital Humanities Anew ». Depuis 2013, le CRIHN réfléchit à travers divers projets aux deux objectifs suivants qui motivent ce premier colloque international : - Au plan des pratiques : dresser un état des lieux des expériences existantes en inventoriant les points forts et les points faibles des outils et des plateformes ; expérimenter l’utilisation d’outils de fouille et de visualisation ; intégrer ces outils dans des projets en cours et en développement ; - Au plan théorique : cerner l’impact du numérique sur le processus de production et de circulation du savoir ; définir de nouveaux modèles de lecture / écriture pour les sciences humaines ; déployer de nouveaux dispositifs de validation de contenus et nourrir de nouveaux rapports entre chercheurs, communautés scientifiques et société. Avec le changement des supports, des modalités de publication, des mécanismes de visibilité, d’accessibilité à l’information et de circulation des contenus, c’est l’ensemble de notre rapport au savoir qui se trouve remis en question. Celui-ci s’inscrit désormais dans une dynamique circulaire associant étroitement production, circulation et validation des connaissances. L’appel à communications pour le colloque « Repenser les humanités numériques / Thinking the Digital Humanities Anew » est basé sur les trois axes de la programmation scientifique du CRIHN construit autour de la question fondamentale de la transformation des sciences humaines par les humanités numériques : - Axe 1 : Production – Écritures numériques et Éditorialisation - Axe 2 : Circulation – Passage au numérique et recontextualisation - Axe 3 : Validation – Légitimation des contenus Nous sollicitons des propositions de communication en français ou en anglais portant sur des travaux en cours ou sur des travaux achevés en rapport avec ces trois axes. Les sujets abordés pourront inclure les thèmes suivants : - éditions électroniques ; - transformation des publications savantes scientifiques ; - nouvelles formes d’éditorialisation ; - muséologie numérique ; - histoire de l’art et culturelle visuelle numérique ; - linguistique et traduction informatique ; - analyse des réseaux sociaux numériques ; - système d’information géographique ; - visualisation et interfaces ; - humanisme numérique ; - sociologie du numérique ; - politique de l’accès libre ; - pédagogie des humanités numériques - cyberinfrastructures ; - études environnementales numériques. Les propositions (500 à 750 mots) pour des présentations de 20′ ou des posters seront reçues jusqu’au 13 juillet 2018 via notre formulaire en ligne: https://goo.gl/sPgT4o (Les résultats seront communiqués d’ici la fin juillet.) Plusieurs bourses de mobilités étudiantes sont disponibles. Une sélection de communications fera l’objet d’une publication. La première sous la forme d’un numéro spécial en anglais de la revue électronique canadienne "Digital Studies / Le champ numérique" (revue disponible en accès libre) pour dix articles. La deuxième sous la forme d’une collection d’essais en français qui sera proposée dans la collection "Parcours numériques" publiée par les Presses de l’Université de Montréal. (Cette collection a une version enrichie en ligne en accès libre.)

It will convene two international two-week meetings, the first at King’s College London, and the second at the Swedish Institute in Athens, where Members of the Institute will survey, analyse and debate the current state of digital art history, and map out its future research agenda. It will also design and develop a Proof of Concept (PoC) to help deliver this agenda. The source code for this PoC will be made available online, and will form the basis for further discussions, development of research questions and project proposals after the end of the programme. To achieve these aims we will bring together leading experts in the field to offer a multi-vocal and interdisciplinary perspective on three areas of pressing concern to digital art history: ● Provenance, the meta-information about ancient art objects, ● Geographies, the paths those objects take through time and space, and ● Visualization, the methods used to render art objects and collections in visual media. We are now inviting applications for membership, which will include all expenses for attending the meetings.

Meanwhile, advances in imaging present new possibilities for the production of visual knowledge of the material world. These changes have had profound effects upon the study of visual and material culture. This colloquium aims to train the spotlight on the rapidly shifting terrain of field photography, exploring its significance for the establishment, definition, and development of such inter related disciplines as archaeology, anthropology, art history, heritage and museum studies [...] A plenary panel is intended and expressions of interest to participate are also welcomed. The colloquium is free to attend; unfortunately, there is no funding assigned to cover travel costs. Proposals for papers should include an abstract of 250 words, the name and affiliation of the speaker and a small biography, and be emailed to fieldsofvision2018@gmail.com before the 30 th of June 2018 For more see: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1527053527_2018-05-23_fieldsofvision2018@gmail.com_645.2.pdf Amelia King, Cléa Moulin and Amélie Roussillon - PhD candidates, organisers of the colloquium* Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas University of East Anglia, Norwich --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 May 2018 12:41:03 -0400 From: B Tommie Usdin Subject: [ANN] Balisage 2018 Program Announced Balisage: The Markup Conference 2018 Program Now Available http://www.balisage.net/2018/Program.html Balisage: where serious markup practitioners and theoreticians meet every summer. The 2018 program includes papers that reflect and look forward, and that discuss the use of markup to: manage documentation, visualize large XML datasets, explore dominant and recessive heirarchies (overlap!), examine the balance between declarative and imperative forms, gather, collate, and analyze large volumes of web data, consider the precise nature of relationships, discuss making data comprehensible with style guides, explore the role of metaphor in our understanding of technology, teach us to think of documents as hypergraphs, imagine new forms of stand-off markup, consider the importance of understanding what we are trying to build, make hard things easier, push our favorite technologies into new places both familiar and unexpected, scale up, and scale out. Are you interested in open information, reusable documents, and vendor and application independence? Then you need descriptive markup, and Balisage is your conference. Balisage brings together document architects, librarians, archivists, computer scientists, XML practitioners, XSLT and XQuery programmers, implementers of XSLT and XQuery engines and other markup-related software, semantic-Web evangelists, standards developers, academics, industrial researchers, government and NGO staff, industrial developers, practitioners, consultants, and the world's greatest concentration of markup theorists. Discussion at Balisage is open, candid, and unashamedly technical.

His talk, Using the data-driven learning approach to facilitate research writing, will be held on on Wednesday 6th June at 5-6.30pm in room LG/11 of the Waterloo Bridge Wing of King's College London's Waterloo campus. We are very much looking forward what promises to be a fascinating account of how corpus linguistics techniques can be applied to pedagogy and learning in an academic context. Please see the abstract below. If you would like to attend, RSVP to chris.tang@kcl.ac.uk With our best wishes, Chris & Clyde ----- Using the data-driven learning approach to facilitate research writing John Flowerdew In this talk, I will describe some of the work I have been doing in the last few years in the field of data-driven learning, the use of corpus linguistics techniques to enhance language learning and use. In particular, I will focus on the application of data-driven learning for research writing. Doctoral (and even some Masters) students worldwide are coming under pressure to publish internationally, but they may face linguistic difficulties in getting their research published. Data-driven learning can offer support. I will begin by briefly reviewing some of the literature on corpus-based approaches to language teaching and learning and will then describe a small-scale and a large-scale project I have been involved in during which half-day workshops have been delivered to over 500 PhD students from a great variety of disciplines. I will conclude by arguing that the data-driven learning approach can be an effective way to help post-graduate students learn to write for publication purposes independently. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id C71311596; Thu, 24 May 2018 07:54:33 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id BB6181594; Thu, 24 May 2018 07:54:31 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id F27D4157E; Thu, 24 May 2018 07:54:26 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180524055426.F27D4157E@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 07:54:26 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.43 pubs: Information & Culture 53.2 X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180524055433.30709.15987@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 43.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 06:54:07 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: amplifying interdisciplinary A new member of Humanist recently admitted to an interest in (I quote from memory) "digital as amplification of interdisciplinary". Engaged as I am, along with numerous others, in research spreading across many disciplines, fuelled by quick if not immediate access to a deluge of articles and books, this phrase struck a chord, loudly. Some years ago, Richard Rorty made philosophical capital in a nominalist vein from a sentence in Gadamer, "being that can be understood is language" ("Sein, das verstanden werden kann, ist Sprache"). He argued from the proposition that "no description of an object is more true to the nature of that object than any other", that "we never understand anything except under a description, and there are no privileged descriptions" to the idea that we work toward the truth by going wide rather than deep. We collect as many witnesses as we can because "to understand something better is to have more to say about it -- to be able to tie together the various things previously said in a new and perspicuous way". When I ran across Rorty's article in the London Review of Books ("Being that can be understood is language", 16 March 2000, pp. 23-5)*, I can recall thinking, this just might be how we all quite soon may be doing our research. Some 18 years later, I think it is indeed what's happening. Only I am not at all sure when to stop 'going wide', how to do it in a responsibly scholarly way, how to persuade those in fields more constrained than mine that I'm saying anything at all. Research into the qualities of digitally affected reasoning and its effects goes everywhere, touches on all the older disciplines. With their publications so readily available, this amplification poses a challenge, no? Comments? Yours, WM *Republished in Krajewski, Bruce, ed.

The deadline for submission is 1 October 2018 and the call is open both to authors of contributions to HaPoC and HaPoP, and to submissions not presented at the aforementioned conferences. For more information, please see the full call for papers: https://www.shift-society.org/hapop4/special-issue.html A brief introduction is included below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPUTING AND PROGRAMMING IN CONTEXT The interplay between logic, science, technology and society In a society where computers have become ubiquitous, it is necessary to develop a broader understanding of the nature of computing and programming, not just from a technical viewpoint, but also from a historical and philosophical perspective. Computers and computer programs do not exist in a vacuum - they are a part of a rich socio-technological context that provides ways for understanding computers and reasoning about programs (cognitive sciences and logic), they are made of technology that shapes the nature of computing and programming. Computers and programs also influence our understanding of the world (e.g. as a scientific instrument) or our relationship with the world (i.e. their sociological and psychological effects). The aim of this special issue is to bring together works exploring computing and programming across their rich socio-technological, scientific and formal context. We are convinced that an inter-disciplinary approach is necessary for understanding computing and programming in their multifaceted nature. As such, we welcome interdisciplinary submissions by researchers coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers and computer scientists. Questions that consider computing and programming in a wider context include: * What formal, societal and technological influences contributed to the way in which modern programs are written and modern computers are constructed? * In what ways can computer programs lead to novel phenomenological experiences, be it through direct engagement with technological artifacts or as mediated through art? * What is the role of programs and computer simulations in traditional sciences such as biology and physics? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions regarding suitability of a topic, format of the paper, or anything else, please contact me (t.petricek@kent.ac.uk) or one of the co-editors (Mark Priestley, Helena Durnová and Giuseppe Primiero).

Bien que de nombreuses initiatives aient été prises dans le monde entier afin de réaliser des éditions en ligne et des dictionnaires, à ce jour aucun ENV (=Espace Numérique Virtuel -de recherche-), n’a été ni pensé ni crée pour l’occitan médiéval. La construction d’un tel ENV, qui devrait regrouper un grand nombre de ressources numériques, textuelles, lexicographiques et informatiques, est un objectif à long terme. Il ne pourra se réaliser sans la constitution d’un réseau collaboratif susceptible de permettre aux différents acteurs des HN (=Humanités Numériques) en occitan de se rencontrer et échanger au sujet d’un protocole commun de travail, selon le principe de la pérennité et de l’interopérabilité. Le projet AcTo fédère, au niveau de l’Université Paul Valéry de Montpellier, des occitanistes ayant travaillé au projet ANR “Thalamus” et des linguistes computationnels de l’UMR 5267 Praxiling. Les partenaires de ce projet sont le CIRDOC (Béziers), l’UMR 2363 CLLE (Toulouse) et l’AIEO (Association Internationale d’Études Occitanes). AcTo invite occitanistes et linguistes computationnels à se rencontrer à Montpellier le 15 et 16 novembre 2018 afin de faire un état des lieux des Humanités Numériques au niveau de l’occitan médiéval. Cette rencontre sera l’occasion de présenter les projets et les ressources numériques existantes et d’entamer un dialogue visant à créer des interactions nouvelles. *Nous invitons en particulier les chercheurs actifs dans les domaines de recherche suivants :* *- développement de dictionnaires informatisés et ressources lexicales numériques pour l’occitan médiéval ; * *- constitution d’éditions électroniques de textes des troubadours et d’autres textes en occitan, de bibliographies électroniques ; * *- développement d’outils et algorithmes pour le traitement automatique de l’occitan ; * *- création de ressources ontologiques, géo-historiques et/ou cartographiques pour la reconstruction de l’espace occitan médiéval, et leur utilisation pour l’annotation et l’enrichissement de documents ; * *- développement d’un cadre théorique et méthodologique pour la philologie numérique de l’occitan médiéval.* Comité scientifique : Dominique BILLY, Jacques BRES, Gilda CAITI-RUSSO, Francesca FRONTINI, Hervé LIEUTARD, Giancarlo LUXARDO, Patrick SAUZET, Jean SIBILLE, Agnès STEUCKARDT.

Please join us for an all-day workshop on Openness in the Digital Humanities Where is the Open in DH? June 26, 2018. 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Empire Room A- Sheraton María Isabel Hotel, Mexico City (A pre-conference workshop for DH2018, June 27-29, 2018 https://dh2018.adho.org/). Some of the questions we will be addressing: · What is needed to bring the Digital Humanities to a more global openness, in terms of access, methods, soft- and hardware, best practices, and opportunities for collaboration? · What could this opening look like in light of the Open Access movement already established in Latin America and the Caribbean? The workshop will analyze these challenges, highlighting initiatives and options that can help us advance to a more open Digital Humanities. We will also examine Digital Humanities projects that have begun to work on openness in DH and propose models for working in a new global environment where researchers, innovators and citizens can publish, find, use and reuse data, tools and publications for research, innovation and education.

In-Reply-To: <20180525060758.680FC1589@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, Am 25.05.2018 um 08:07 schrieb Humanist Discussion Group: > how to persuade those in fields more constrained than mine > that I'm saying anything at all. it took me some time to think how to answer that, expressing my opinion, without spreading a flavour of pessimism, which I actually do NOT have. I think (and that is, what might delude one into feeling of pessimism) that all superficial surface declarations not withstanding, the general interest in "interdisciplinarity", leave alone transdisciplinarity, is actually NOT particularly developed. What the overwhelming majority of interdisciplinary projects I am aware of strive to accomplish, is to borrow some concept, method (or in the IT domain) tool from another discipline to solve a problem in your own discipline. Time being finite, preferably without having to learn anything about the other discipline, which is not immediately relevant to the loan you are going to make. (That is also the reason, why "interdisciplinary cooperation", where a scholar of discipline "A" assigns the work to be done in discipline "B" to a scholar active in that other discipline, is so immensely popular. It has the big advantage, that scholar "A" does not have to learn anything new.) Let me stress, that I do NOT want to sound (or be read as) derogatory. I am fully aware, that time is finite and it IS a hard decision, to learn something new, where it is not immediately clear how it will be useful, while all those deadlines in your home discipline loom. In my opinion, "interdisciplinarity" starts only, if you are taking an interest in a question of another discipline, because you find that question intriguing, NOT because you think, it could enhance your understanding of the question in your own discipline you have started from. And that is rare enough. (Even if the scholars of that other discipline are usually very welcoming (at least as long as they do not recognize competition for their traditional funding :=) ), being flattered about the unexpected interest from the outside.) "That is rare enough": Formulated as it is, because I think, what you strive for is going beyond that. What you try to achieve, is not an interest in questions from two (or more disciplines), but of questions, which can only be recognized as such, when you have both sides in view. A.k.a. as "transdisciplinarity". And this is very dangerous ground. Peer reviewers of one discipline only notice what is missing from their own background, not understanding what the value added from the other background is. So "transdisciplinarity" also usually works best, if it is very closely connected to the tradition of one set of disciplines and basically imports glamour from the rest. If you take it serious, well ... > how to persuade those in fields more constrained than mine > that I'm saying anything at all. Can it not simply be fun to say (or just think) it? Even in very mundane things, completely outside of academia, only very few people will react immediately to a genuinely new proposal, though the may endorse it enthusiastically a weekend later. Be happy in the sowing and do not worry too much about the harvest.

Canada's Early Women Writers began in the pre-digital 1980s, with research using snail mail and typewriters; this now-static database is still available through the Simon Fraser University library, but has been superseded by the updated CEWW housed within the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory . With the development of the internet and its ever-expanding online resources, we have augmented the original 471 authors of a book of poetry or fiction (such were the self-imposed limitations required in the pre-digital world) to include rich bio-bibliographic entries for over 730 early Canadian women writers. CEWW now includes notable Canadian English-language female writers who first published before 1950 in any format. Their audiences and genres range from travel journalism and scientific writing to the previously included poetry and fiction. While CEWW offers extensive bio-bibliographic entries on a selection of early Canadian women writers for whom sufficient information can be found, the DoCEWW is a simpler, easily navigable database of all Canadian women writers who have been identified by our project. Built by the Digital Humanities Innovation Lab at the Simon Fraser University library, DoCEWW records (as available) each author’s name, alternative names, dates and places of birth and death, places of residence, titles published, and collections and periodicals contributed to. While DoCEWW already contains some 4800 authors, the list is far from comprehensive, and we invite the public to contribute new names, or additional information about the women who are already listed. To contact us, please submit a comment in the form on an individual page, or leave a comment on our project blog , specifying the author or title your comment refers to.

In particular, this was achieved through “prospects”, a concept of viewing landscapes, and “promenades”, involving the physical movement through the landscape. Authors like Henry Wotton, in 1624, emphasised the importance of experience through “the Feete [and] likewise of the Eye”, and this would consequently reflect the landowners’ individual perspectives towards the landscape. However, little analysis has been attempted into determining the characteristics of “prospects” and “promenades” at specific sites. The destruction and modernisation of estate landscapes has hindered their analysis and reshaped perceptions of their appearance and development. From my ongoing PhD research, this paper will therefore explore the historiography of designed landscapes from this period whilst demonstrating how 3D-GIS has the capabilities to improve our knowledge of this area of research. As a new computational tool for producing 3D representations of estate landscapes, 3D-GIS can provide the geographical and historicalcontext to spatially analyse the experience within them using ‘viewshed’ and animation tools. This paper will subsequently demonstrate how 3D-GIS will contribute to not only the study of designed landscapes but of historic landscapes generally.

As a continuation of her masters’ dissertation, her PhD research focuses on using 3D-GIS to explore and analyse ‘prospects’ and ‘promenades’ within English designed landscapes from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

A few years ago we applied for a big fat national Polish grant; its call was for an interdisciplinary project. My nuclear physicist friends who led the proposal invited us stylometrists, musicologists, physicians, economists and a few other -ists to prepare a cross-disciplinary study of complex systems in all our fields. We almost got the grant. In the final tally, we were the top ones who didn’t get funded. But the stated reason was: nah, too interdisciplinary. The sad fact is that while interdisciplinarity is preached from all kinds of pulpits (especially humanist ones), it is then stabbed to death in the murky corridors of the academia. This not only happens to that unpleasant bastard child, the digital humanities, but even such seemingly well-born fields as translation studies, which, in many academic systems, often serve as hot potatoes thrown around between literary, linguistic or cultural studies departments. All the while it should be their beloved and joint trans-discipline. But enough ranting. I’ve just participated in a panel on a book that is a result of another grant project where an Italianist, a translation scholar and a stylometrist (moi) collaborated on the language of historical films and TV series and their translations between English, Italian and Polish: quite a number of variables in this equation, right? The panel was surprisingly well attended, also by people we have failed to include in our original proposal: the film studies crowd, who were quite enthusiastic about our very un-film-studies approach to the question. They've already bought the book! (Bad news: the book is in Polish). That is not all. My old partner-in-crime Maciej Eder is now part of a project where chemists (the people who do chemistry, not the people who work in drugstores) approach chemical compounds as linguistic units. Isn’t that fun? You can come hear him talk about that on the last day of DH2018. In this way, stylometry gives something back to chemistry, since I am indebted to 3D visualization software developed by chemists to visualize my own distant readings of texts. And perhaps this is how we can survive in the above-mentioned murky corridors.

I think (and that is, what might delude one into feeling of pessimism) that all superficial surface declarations not withstanding, the general interest in "interdisciplinarity", leave alone transdisciplinarity, is actually NOT particularly developed. What the overwhelming majority of interdisciplinary projects I am aware of strive to accomplish, is to borrow some concept, method (or in the IT domain) tool from another discipline to solve a problem in your own discipline. Time being finite, preferably without having to learn anything about the other discipline, which is not immediately relevant to the loan you are going to make. (That is also the reason, why "interdisciplinary cooperation", where a scholar of discipline "A" assigns the work to be done in discipline "B" to a scholar active in that other discipline, is so immensely popular. It has the big advantage, that scholar "A" does not have to learn anything new.) Let me stress, that I do NOT want to sound (or be read as) derogatory. I am fully aware, that time is finite and it IS a hard decision, to learn something new, where it is not immediately clear how it will be useful, while all those deadlines in your home discipline loom. In my opinion, "interdisciplinarity" starts only, if you are taking an interest in a question of another discipline, because you find that question intriguing, NOT because you think, it could enhance your understanding of the question in your own discipline you have started from. And that is rare enough. (Even if the scholars of that other discipline are usually very welcoming (at least as long as they do not recognize competition for their traditional funding :=) ), being flattered about the unexpected interest from the outside.) "That is rare enough": Formulated as it is, because I think, what you strive for is going beyond that. What you try to achieve, is not an interest in questions from two (or more disciplines), but of questions, which can only be recognized as such, when you have both sides in view. A.k.a. as "transdisciplinarity". And this is very dangerous ground. Peer reviewers of one discipline only notice what is missing from their own background, not understanding what the value added from the other background is. So "transdisciplinarity" also usually works best, if it is very closely connected to the tradition of one set of disciplines and basically imports glamour from the rest. If you take it serious, well ... > how to persuade those in fields more constrained than mine > that I'm saying anything at all. Can it not simply be fun to say (or just think) it? Even in very mundane things, completely outside of academia, only very few people will react immediately to a genuinely new proposal, though the may endorse it enthusiastically a weekend later. Be happy in the sowing and do not worry too much about the harvest.

Does anyone here? Anyhow, my answer would be that as we go wide we select our witnesses, not collect everything. The problem that I see, however, is exhaustion, i.e. which gets exhausted first seems clear: the researcher, not the amount to be collected, filtered then fitted into the developing pattern. My solution -- since I cannot help myself in this regard -- is to school myself (and I hope my readers) into being content with suggestive ventures rather than bulletproof arguments. Ventures to keep the conversation moving along. I can get away with this (sort of) because I report to no one. But on occasion I do get reviewers saying, e.g. 'What's he saying? Suggestive, arresting analogies. But where's the argument?' Such was in my mind when I said in the earlier note that sometimes one has difficulty getting one's colleagues to acknowledge that you've said anything at all. Made some noise, perhaps.... Comments?

I would surmise that it is the interplay of diverse *legitimate* interpretations that keeps them alive.

With maximum award amounts ranging from $50,000 (planning) to $350,000 (implementation), these grants support projects to preserve and create intellectual access to collections such as books, journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture. Awards also support the creation of reference works, online resources, and research tools of major importance to the humanities. Eligible activities include digitizing collections; arranging, describing, or cataloging materials, performing conservation treatment, and facilitating persistent access to born-digital sources, in addition to producing databases, virtual collections, encyclopedias, linguistic works, and resources for geospatial representation of humanities data. To encourage collaboration between smaller and larger institutions, the Partnership/Mentorship Opportunity in HCRR provides up to $60,000 for planning and pilot-level projects that could help to propel lasting collaborative relationships. These awards might be especially well suited for community-based cultural heritage initiatives, though they are not limited in geographic or topical scope. New for 2018: In conjunction with NEH's encouragement Protecting Our Cultural Heritage, applicants to HCRR may also request support to create, preserve, and make available oral history interviews with individuals who can provide first-hand accounts or reflections on events or experiences of cultural devastation. Informants could include survivors or other witnesses of natural disasters as well as circumstances of social unrest or armed occupation, during which cultural heritage was at extreme risk. The program continues to support a related opportunity for the creation of oral histories in conjunction with NEH's Standing Together initiative, on the humanities and the experience of war. Further details, including links to the application guidelines and other resources, are available online. Also, several of the most recent HCRR awards are described on NEH's Funded Projects database. Inquiries are always welcome; contact the Division of Preservation and Access by phone at 202-606-8570 or via email at preservation@neh.gov. _____________________________________________ The National Endowment for the Humanities is a grant-making agency of the United States (U.S.) federal government that supports projects in the humanities.

There seems to be implicit in the "stopping" that the search is coextensive with the life of a generation. Wouldn't one way of palliating the melancholy of mastery be to prepared for the hand-off to those that follow? In this baton-passing scenario, the question becomes twofold: how to leave a marked trail and how to in the here-and-now devote time to nurturing the future trail blazers? The halting problem needs not only an infinite tape but also perpetual observers. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 7FB771EC7; Fri, 1 Jun 2018 07:31:12 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5275A181F; Fri, 1 Jun 2018 07:31:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B57761A8D; Fri, 1 Jun 2018 07:31:03 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180601053103.B57761A8D@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2018 07:31:03 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.62 PhD studentships (Paris); Mellon fellowships (Vanderbilt) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180601053111.303.98297@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 62.

Kind Regards, Stephen ===== Stephen McGregor Research Associate, Laboratoire Lattice, ENS Membership Officer, AISB ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear All, LATTICE (http://lattice.cnrs.fr) is interested in the development of new natural language processing methods for the exploration of large literary corpora (typically on the scale of hundreds or even thousands of novels or comparable collections of texts). The lab is looking for PhD candidates who would like to apply for funded positions in this area. Potential research topics include: - The automatic identification/analysis of specific works (for example, can we systematically identify characteristics such as "literary schools" if we take an automatic/stylistic point of view? Can we characterize/isolate such texts automatically within a given corpus? Do authors really use particular stylistic elements? etc.); - Within a large corpus, can we characterize the notion of a "typical" novel? Can we identify these automatically, for instance using a supervised classifier? Could we use an unsupervised approach? What differences can be observed between the two classification methods? etc.; - The analysis of specific linguistic phenomena, even if they are hard to tackle, such as metaphor (starting, for instance, from the analytical methods proposed by McGregor et al. 2016 or Shutova and Veale, 2014). The PhD must be centered around the development of new computational methods to explore questions related to stylistics and literary texts. The PhD will mainly target French texts (large collections of French novels for example). Candidates who want to apply must have: - a very good command of French (written and oral) - an excellent command of English - advanced programming skills (experience with at least one language like python, perl or java) - a degree in literature or a related field, or interest in the humanities. Interested candidates are invited to contact me by email (thierry.poibeau@ens.fr) as soon as possible (preferably before the end of May), with a CV, a master's degree transcript and a cover letter.

The volume represents a range of diverse international scholar-teachers who have developed and taught with digital resources in emergent pedagogical, technological, institutional, and sociopolitical contexts of Shakespeare studies. Essays integrate useful observations on the design and collaborative development of resources with descriptions of pedagogical use and learning gained. In a field whose reflections on digital pedagogy tend to be uncoordinated and quickly dated, we seek to produce a volume that is wise, comprehensive, and practical, inviting contributors both to reflect on their resources and to provide usable components (syllabus, lesson, web link, data reflecting impact, etc.). The volume is intended to serve a wide readership, including teaching faculty and graduate students, Shakespeare researchers, undergraduate students, and other practitioners interested in the digital humanities (DH). It was conceived in part through a groundbreaking U.S. initiative led by the Folger Shakespeare Library and the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2016 called “Teaching Shakespeare to Undergraduates,” in which college instructors from across the country built digital teaching tools and discussed how those tools met longstanding teaching challenges.[1] Many essays draw from this program, and many more expand the conversation to international and trans-Atlantic contexts. At this time the editors seek essay topics that: * emerge from British, international, or minority perspectives, including pedagogies and classroom contexts located in those representations either geographically or thematically, and / or, * highlight collaborations with and creative opportunities for undergraduate students -----Abstract and Proposal Information----- *Abstracts Due: ASAP, but no later than 15 July 2018 When Submitting Abstract, Please Provide: * Name, degree, rank/position and affiliation, and brief bio including teaching and publication summary * Best email and mailing address * Chapter Title and descriptive sub-header (Chapter Title: “DIY First Folio: Bringing the Printing Press Alive,” and sub-header: DIY First Folio provides fresh book history pedagogy by providing a virtual printing house and faithful color reproductions of First Folio sheets) * 400- word summary of content, including perceived need your tool/resource/approach fills, intended audience for tool/resource/approach, pedagogical use, learning goals, and description of usable component * Up to 5 pedagogical keywords (for instance: lecture, group work, discussion, editing, active learning) and up to 5 content keywords (for instance, Merchant of Venice, religion, image, performance, history) * Description of potential figures or images included in essay * Send to Kyle at kyle.vitale@yale.edu (in body of email or attachment as .doc) by 15 July 2018 Kyle Sebastian Vitale, Ph.D. Assistant Director, Faculty Teaching Initiatives Yale University Center for Teaching and Learning 301 York St. | New Haven, CT | CTL 122 -- Diana E.

We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from different sub-fields of computer science and the geographical information sciences, interested in the application of spatial methods and technology to the humanities. Participants will explore and demonstrate the contributions to knowledge that modern GIS technologies can enable within and beyond the digital humanities. The workshop invites contributions on the following topics, as well as other research related to the Spatial Humanities: + Gazetteer development (e.g., models, data conflation, semantic technologies, etc.) + Historical geographical information systems + Spatio-temporal network analysis in the humanities + Text geo-parsing and other NLP techniques for geographical text analysis + Spatial simulation in the humanities (e.g., cellular automata and agent-based models) + Spatial and spatio-temporal analysis of humanities data + Visualization and cartographic representations for humanities data + Handling vague and imprecise historical spatio-temporal data + Applications of the aforementioned techniques *** Associated Special Issue *** A special issue of Springer GeoJournal, focused on the Spatial Humanities, will complement the 2018 ACMSIGSPATIAL Workshop on Geospatial Humanities.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2018 16:43:14 +0100 From: Subject: Recent Release in Open Access: Text Genetics in Literary Modernism and Other Essays I am delighted to announce our recent Open Access release, Text Genetics in Literary Modernism and Other Essays, by Hans Walter Gabler. Read it for free here or please read on for further details. This collection of essays, from the father of textual editing, contains writings from a decade and a half of retirement spent exploring textual criticism, genetic criticism, and literary criticism. In these sixteen stimulating contributions, he develops theories of textural criticism and editing that are inflected by our advance into the digital era; structurally analyses arts of composition in literature and music; and traces the cultural implications discernible in book design, and in the canonisation of works of literature and their authors. Gabler responds innovatively to the issues involved and often endeavours to re-think their urgencies by bringing together the orthodox tenets of different schools of textual criticism. He moves between a variety of topics, offering fresh readings of the works of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and significant contributions to the theorisation of scholarly editing in the digital age. You may also be interested in our Yeats Annual - the leading scholarly journal on Yeats - and our most recent volume, Yeats's Legacies: Yeats Annual No. 21. If you like what we do and believe that readers around the world should have free and easy access to quality research you can further support our work at https://www.openbookpublishers.com/section/13/1.

In 2012 a group of researchers at Stanford (led by Walter Scheidel), developed Orbis (http://orbis.stanford.edu/)[1], which, one may put, applied the same geographical principles to a particular historical context. Dubbed “a Google Maps for the Roman Empire”[2], this model became a popular historical online resource and an object of envy for scholars working in other historical contexts. Inspired by Orbis, the Uni-Wien DH Team is organizing a three-day hackathon at the University of Vienna on the theme of map visualisations for historical data. One specific objective of the hackathon will be to build a sort of “Orbis-in-a-Box”—an open-source platform that would allow others to model movements of people and objects in different historical and cultural contexts. (For more details on this particular idea, see: http://kgeographer.com/orbis-in-a-box/). We are inviting interested digital humanists with an inclination for coding to partake in this 3-day event in Vienna. We are able to offer small bursaries to offset traveling costs. If you would like to attend, please send a message to maxim.romanov@univie.ac.at with “ORBIS-esque Hackathon” in the subject by 30 June 2018, stating your current institutional affiliation (if any) and your motivation for participating in the hackathon. Please also specify whether you are applying for a bursary.

Dwyer" Subject: Publication: Late Chaghatay manuscripts (Jarring Collection) and pedagogical handbooks Salam hemmingler, Venturing to intrude on your blissful solstitial days with a small announcement in digital humanities and Chaghatay studies: we’ve just published a substantial number of late eastern Chaghatay manuscripts from the Jarring Collection in digital edition form. This research was part of a project, “Annotating Turki Manuscripts from the Jarring Collection Online ” sponsored by the Henry Luce Foundation; the team included Arienne M. Dwyer and C.M. Sperberg-McQueen (PIs), the Lund University Library, Alexandre Papas, Akbar Amat and Gülnar Eziz. On the website, you’ll find Jarring Collection manuscripts (digital facsimiles, with transcription for an ever-growing number, and linguistic annotation for a select few); you will also find that we've published the two Handbooks (one on Chaghatay Manuscript Transcription and another on Linguistic Annotation - teach yourself manuscript analysis!). This project’s focus was on healing manuscripts, specifically a digital edition of a Medical Handbook (Prov. 351). That Handbook is available in four views: A digital facsimile of the entire medical manuscript ; A transcript , showing Perso-Arabic and Latin script transliterations; A parallel text view , showing the Perso-Arabic and Latin script transliterations, with English translation; and A view with linguistic annotation , morpheme by morpheme. As version 1.0 publications, these were published warts, lacunae, and all (on the principle that sharing even the vastly imperfect should lead to better scholarship worldwide). Feel free to (kindly, gently) report bugs or suggested improvements to us. If you’re pressed for time, I’d recommend looking at only the parallel text view and view with linguistic annotation of the Medical Handbook, and also taking a look at the Handbook on Chaghatay Manuscript Transcription.

Interested participants are invited to register for the Ninth Workshop on the Philosophy of Information, which will take place at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and Arts in Brussels, 26th–27th of June 2018, just before SPSP 2018 in Ghent. Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is required. Please send an email to stefano.canali@philos.uni-hannover.de by the 21st of June 2018 (be specific about the days you wish to attend). The theme of the workshop is information visualisation. Our aim is to focus on informational artefacts that encode or convey information in order to try and explain why visualisations can play a certain epistemic role and why certain visualisation are more effective than others. A special attention will be given to the study of how scientists rely on visualisations and how visual artefacts are designed in the sciences. On this basis, we wish to explore convergences between the philosophy of information and the philosophy of science as well as between the formal sciences (logic, computing) and the philosophy of information. We therefore encourage scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds to explore the lines of inquiry we propose.

This symposium and summer school examines strategies for encoding, retrieving and re-enacting intangible heritage in ways that allow these archives to be ‘alive’ in the present, by joining historical materials with creative visualizations derived from advanced documentation processes including motion capture, motion-over-time analytics, 3D reconstruction, panoramic and high-speed video. The gathering brings together world leaders in the research, documentation, preservation and public engagement with intangible cultural heritage through digital means. The trans-disciplinary event will appeal to seasoned scholars, museum practitioners, and PhD students of cultural heritage, performance studies, European and Chinese martial arts, as well as those interested in new technologies for recording ephemeral traditions. It aims to: (1) explore new models for data curation of intangible cultural heritage and performing arts; (2) engage with new strategies for the ‘re-enactment’ of living archives for public audiences; (3) create innovative tools and opportunities for technology transfer; (4) stimulate the network of digital intangible heritage practitioners across the world. Registration: Free at https://emplus.epfl.ch/page-156473-en.html Deadline: July 15th PhD students: A limited number of travel bursaries are available for PhD students. There will also be an opportunity for PhD students to present their research in the context of this symposium. Contact: Lia Costiner at lia.costiner@epfl.ch.

In-Reply-To: <20180613051730.60091252C@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Hi Willard, My basic reaction to your query is that I don’t understand it. As you know, there’s been a broad line of criticism of the digital humanities as being captive to a ‘neoliberal’ logic of capitalism, and David Golumbia has written a book, The Cultural Logic of Computation, which sets that forth in some detail. But I have no idea whether or not this is what you’re looking for and rather suspect it is not. I’ve not read Evens’ book, but I did take a quick look at an article he published in DHQ in 2012, Web 2.0 and the Ontology of the Digital, where I find this paragraph (following a discussions of digital code as 0s and 1s): Does it matter that the digital at some point is a matter of code? Isn’t this just a technical fact, of little concern to the user of the computer? When we work with digital technologies we work not with 0s and 1s but with ideas, desires, images, words, stories, designs, money, all the many complex and multifaceted things that the digital makes available for interaction. So what if the binary code operates behind the scenes? That isn’t where the meaning comes from nor is it what the user attends to. The binary code is like the gears of a watch or maybe the molecules of a pair of scissors: essential to, even constitutive of the object but not equal to the principle of its operation. The rest of his article, which I’ve only skimmed, is a response to that objection. That is, he’s going to argue that the ‘bottom level’ (my term and scare quotes) nature and structure of computation has effects that propagate all the way to the ‘top’, whatever that might be. In this Evens is concerned about abstraction: “In particular, the digital places a central emphasis on abstraction, and digital artifacts and culture demonstrate this ontology of abstraction even while remaining concrete” (from the abstract). I’m not quite sure what you’re indicating when you talk of “accommodate non-sequential processing of instructions and rewriting of instructions by other instructions”, but I suspect that’s pretty low level stuff about how bytes of code and data (1s and 0s) reside in and move about in physical registers of the CPU and locations in memory. So, you’re with him on the 1s and 0s and how that ‘trickles up’ to everything we do with computers. Is this what you’re concerned about?

In-Reply-To: <20180613051730.60091252C@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard and Colleagues in Digital Humanities (DH): I imagine that each of us defines Digital Humanities in slightly different ways, emphasizing some avenues and attributes, while deemphasizing others. One definition is that we explore humanities scholarship performed with the aid of digital machines. But we need to clarify this, since the Pascaline from 1652 was digital as were many other devices. One could refine DH to be concerned with “digital machines (tools) from 1950 onward, for instance. Is “digital” relevant? Suppose DH research was performed using neural network tools. Neural networks are analog machines. My interest could be tangential to this—what aspects of computer science and discrete mathematics, which represent research behind digital technology are surfaced during DH research? This would seem to be considerable as the tool requires the user to adopt new metaphors, analogies, and ontologies. These new models of thought stem from what preceded technology production. Is one, in actuality, making DH more mathematical through digital tool usage? I ask because the tools have emerged as commercial products that stemmed from mathematical origins in the discrete realm: e.g., Turing, Church, Post. Is the emphasize on “tool” counterproductive or too shallow? Should we investigate how the underlying mathematics (as side effects of adopting “digital technology”) are manifested in new DH production? The emphasis on tools continues to baffle me. I don’t think any discipline, most particularly computer “science” should be wedded to tools. Mathematics educators realized this long ago.

The theme of the conference is “Digital Scholarship: Expanding Access, Activism, and Advocacy.” #BUDSC18 will bring together a community of practitioners–faculty, researchers, librarians, artists, educational technologists, students, administrators, and others–committed to promoting access to and through digital scholarship. We consider “access” in the broadest possible terms: accessible formats and technologies, access through universal design for learning, access to a mode of expression, access to stories that might not otherwise be heard or that might be lost over time, access to understanding and knowledge once considered beyond reach.We encourage proposals that explore or critique digital scholarship as it relates to access, broadly conceived. Topics may include, but should not be limited to, the following: - Accessibility of digital platforms and technology - Access to resources to engage in or produce digital scholarship - Digital scholarship and social change - Sustainability and future access to digital scholarship - Digital scholarship and multimodal/interdisciplinary access - Access to digital scholarship beyond the academy - The public mission of digital scholarship - Creating opportunities for diverse voices and perspectives - Designing for access, activism, and advocacy Submissions may take the form of interactive presentations, project demos, electronic posters, panel discussions, work-in-progress sessions, workshops, lightning talks, or other creative formats.We look forward to building on the success of the last four years, in which we have come together to discuss challenges, share working models, reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including students in public scholarly pursuits. For more information, please view our highlights http://budsc17.scholar.bucknell.edu/ from the 2017 meeting, the conference website http://budsc18.scholar.bucknell.edu/ and this year's call http://budsc18.scholar.bucknell.edu/call-for-proposals/ .

I note as well that, under a fairly widespread and standard account, natural language itself has significant digital elements, or at least non-analog, as Mark Liberman notes: > There are three obvious non-analog aspects of speech and language. In linguistic jargon, these are the entities involved in syntax, morphology, and phonology. In more ordinary language, they're phrases, words, and speech sounds. That’s from a post at Language Log, “Is language ‘analog’?”, http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=26786 The post itself is interesting and instructive and attracted a variety of useful comments. In particular, there were some comments about the emergence of the contrast between analog and digital and the related mathematical contrast between discrete and continuous..

Introducing a letter Pauli wrote to a meeting of scientists in Tübingen in 1930, Bernstein notes that he 'once damned another scientist's paper by saying it was "not even wrong".' Yesterday I was having an exchange of e-mails with a colleague who was thinking about how people deal with error. And so Pauli's remark brings to mind the value of error and its particular quality of usefulness in modelling. With computers one cannot ever be absolutely correct, and so being wrong summons the ghost of what it might mean to be right and, I suppose, raises the question of the difference between being right and being correct.

Are you interested in infusing humanities thinking into visualization? Check out the CFP tab for the kinds of papers. Here are the guiding questions for the 2018 workshop: * How can we translate (and mutually enrich) the conceptual vocabularies of the humanities and visualization? How do projects at the intersection of humanities and visualization research mutually impact the respective fields? * How do collaborating humanities and visualization researchers balance theory, practice and making in their intellectual work? What kinds of products do they value, and how do they define rigor in their work? How does the dissemination of their results represent these tensions and balance? * How do debates from the cultural and visual turns of the humanities find themselves reflected in visualization strategies? How can our visualizations be said to embody values emerging from those debates? * What are the epistemological stakes of visualization? How might we characterize knowledge produced by visualization? How are knowledge and visualization design intertwined? * What kinds of meaning, information or satisfaction are sought by users when interacting with visualization? How does our notion of audience affect how we design? How do we balance innovation and accessibility? * How can visualization create innovative design solutions that communicate the specificities of humanities data? * Does visualization always depend on turning the humanities into a computational problem? Are humanities researchers interested only in platforms for deploying their research, not in research that will push both fields forward? Are there alternative views?

In-Reply-To: <20180615054053.68AA822CE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, Nice to see we like the same reads. Just on from the "not even wrong" put down, Bernstein adds another from Pauli, dismissing an aspiring physicist with "So young and already so unknown." Being rude to people is not so new, this shows us, I think. But, back to "not even wrong." For me, you mush up wrong and error, and right and correct, which, I suggest, is wrong. Pauli's "not even wrong" refers, I would say, to the absence of any worthwhile research outcome, in what is reported, and not to some lack of error. I would also dispute your assertion that "With computers one cannot ever be absolutely correct ..." Of course you can. Any well functioning computer will perform perfectly correct integer addition, subtraction, and multiplication, up to very large numbers. So if you use it as a calculator, you can be absolutely correct about your sums and products. (This is not as trivial as it may look.) Correctness is important, but can only be made (usefully) operational when the criteria (of correctness) are well defined and assessable in practice, such as for integer sums and products, for example. In research, any kind of research, Humanities included, I would say, nobody can claim to be right. We can never be absolutely certain of the rightness of our research outcomes. And, of course, we don't need to be, to be doing good research. With further research that replicates or corroborates or is consistent with or coherent with our outcome, we (plural) may become more confident of our outcome being right, but we can never completely remove all doubt or uncertainty about this. Right-ness is thus, I think, something to aspire to, and to be approached, but never fully gained. Correctness should always be present and demonstrated, when the concept of correctness fairly applies, so that this correctness and any detected errors may play useful and productive roles in our (collective) research efforts. Pauli's speculative proposal, that there be neutrinos, proved to be good, though incomplete, not right, not correct, nor wrong, nor in error: good for providing a way to understand observed neutron decays; good for being productive of further useful theoretical developments. There is nothing wrong in there being errors, and nothing right about being correct. To understand this in doing research is right, and, to not understand it, is wrong, I would say.

This seems to me to contain a couple of factual errors, one of which goes to the heart of his argument about the false distinction between analogue and digital representations. Thaller remarks that in 1943 (five years before Claude Shannon's celebrated paper on digital communication) "signal technology . . . was still almost exclusively analog". That is incorrect. All Morse Code signalling is digital not analogue, and there was a lot of that in 1943. All teleprinter signalling is digital not analogue, and there was a lot of that in 1943. To see why Shannon, in his influential 1936 MA thesis, was thinking digitally about the telephone network at a time when it was using analogue signalling to carry calls, we need to remember that his concern was with the switching circuits by which calls are routed, not the signalling that occurs once the calls are connected. To make his distinction between 'analogue' and 'digital' representations, Thaller offers a pair of thought experiments. In the 'analogue' one, the addition of two numbers is performed hydraulically: a certain quantity of water that is proportional to the first number is mixed with a certain quantity of water proportional to the second number, and the quantity of water in this combined volume is read off a scale on the measuring vessel. That is indeed analogue representation, because the numbers are represented by physical objects with a dimension (in this case, 'volume') that is proportional to the sizes of the numbers being represented. Thaller vaguely recalls seeing "an hydro-analog computer somewhere" and may be thinking of Bill Philips's MONIAC analogue computer that modelled the workings of an economy using as system of tanks, tubes, and valves to represent the various reserves and transactions of money. MONIAC was still being toured for public exhibition in the 1970s, when I saw it. For his 'digital' thought experiment, Thaller writes: << Now a digital mechanical calculation is best envisaged by thinking of a child's building blocks. To add the numbers 3 and 4 you build two towers, one out of three, the other of four building blocks, put the one above the other and read the correct answer, 7. >> Thaller remarks that at first it seems that the hydraulic experiment is using a continuously variable quantity, water (a non-countable noun), while the second is using a discrete quantity, bricks (a countable noun). But, Thaller remarks, this distinction is illusory: if we think of water as a collection of molecules it becomes a countable noun and hence a quantity of water is just as discrete a representation as a quantity of bricks is. Thus, for Thaller, "Both thought experiments ultimately converge" and the analogue/digital distinction disappears. I see an error here, since the distinction between analogue and digital means of representation does not rest on the distinction between continuous and discrete variables. If it did, the distinction would indeed deconstruct itself on inspection, since at bottom all representations come down to numbers of discrete atoms and no truly continuous variables exist. Rather, the analogue/digital distinction rests on a distinction between a representation that is proportional to the quantity it represents, and a representation that uses an arbitrary and merely symbolic encoding of the quantity it represents. The shapes of the illuminated segments on a 'digital' watch face have no relationship of proportionality to the quantity of time they represent: their relationship to the quantity of time is purely arbitrary and conventional. The sweeping movement of the hands on a traditional 'analogue' watch face, by contrast, is proportional to the amount of time it represents. Moreover, that sweeping movement is proportional (and hence analogue) even if the hands 'jump' to discrete positions rather than sweeping around continuously, as we see in modern electronic watches that have 60 illuminated segments, one of which is switched on at any moment to stand for the sweeping 'hand' of the traditional watch face. It's not the continuous/discrete contrast that underpins the analogue/digital distinction, it is the proportionality/arbitrary-encoding distinction. Looked at this way, Thaller's second thought experiment using the building blocks illustrated an 'analogue' not a 'digital' operation. Regards Gabriel Egan --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2018 08:17:49 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: reasoning with a digital tool In-Reply-To: <20180615053753.5BE8822D4@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> In Humanist 32.82 I asked about the specifically cognitive consequences of working with a digital machine, meaning or intending to mean the consequences for how we reason, not so much what we reason about -- although those two things are closely related. Bill Benzon asked, "So, you're with him [Aden Evens] on the 1s and 0s [of digital hardware] and how that 'trickles up' to everything we do with computers." Basically, yes, although I'd like to shine a stronger light on how this trickling up works. And I'd to qualify 'everything'. Consider listening to digitally reproduced music or video. Is it not a matter of what we're doing with digital equipment? As Franklin writes in "Discrete and Continuous: A Fundamental Dichotomy in Mathematics", Journal of Humanistic Mathematics 7.2 (2017), "If something is continuous as far as perception can tell, it can be very hard to tell if it is discrete at a smaller scale." Paul Fishwick asked, "what aspects of computer science and discrete mathematics, which represent research behind digital technology are surfaced during DH research?" I think he is rephrasing my question. Again Franklin's article -- which gets better with each reading -- comes into play. For computer science I have considered only the most basic hardware design as worked out for software by Goldstine and von Neumann in their 1947 report, "Planning and Coding of Problems for an Electronic Computing Instrument" 2.1-3 (downloadable from the IAS website), particularly non-sequential execution of instructions and rewriting of instructions on the fly. For discrete mathematics I have focused on combinatorics. What else should I think about? Paul asks, "Should we investigate how the underlying mathematics (as side effects of adopting 'digital technology') are manifested in new DH production?" I shout back, YES! Manfred Thaller raises the question of digital vs 'analogue', which is another way of raising my question, though that plows into the massive amount of confusion brought about when 'analogue' was co-opted to mean 'opposite of digital' for circuitry. Once upon a time the so-called analog computer was called an "analogy machine", because it was a machine to do analogy. But then so is the digital machine, whose doing of analogy we tend to call 'modelling'. Simply put, it does analogy differently. (See e.g. Charles Care on this subject.) The metaphor of a clock-face keeps coming up; I go to Nelson Goodman's The Languages of Art, part 4, sections 7 and 8. And again I recommend Franklin's article. But who else has written along these lines? Ken Kahn asks, "what about computational models such as lambda calculus where functions are the only entity? How is lambda calculus 'digital'?" A clear explanation of the lambda calculus would, of course, be welcome, esp if it made clear what it has to do with what we do with the machine we have -- which is my (narrow?) concern. More?

Please find the call below. Furthermore; we unfortunately experienced an email problem due to which we might have lost messages. In case you sent us an abstract but have not received a confirmation we kindly ask you to send it again to: gerben.zaagsma@uni.lu (with apologies for any inconvenience caused). With kind regards, Gerben Zaagsma —————— Extended deadline: 30 June 2018 CFP: International conference + workshop: Digital Hermeneutics in History: Theory and Practice Place: Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH). Date: 25-26 October 2018. The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) is organising a two day conference and workshop on occasion of the official launch of the Ranke.2 project, its teaching platform for Digital Source Criticism. The conference and workshop will revolve around the concept of “digital hermeneutics”, defined as the critical and self-reflexive use of digital tools and technologies for the development of new research questions, the testing of analytical assumptions and the production of sophisticated scientific interpretations. This two-day event will address both the theory and practice of digital hermeneutics, Day 1 will have the format of a ‘traditional’ conference with sessions dedicated to the four key aspects of the concept of digital hermeneutics: source criticism, tool criticism, algorithmic criticism and interface criticism. Day 2 will consist of workshops where participants will discuss the challenges of introducing digital history training in the history curriculum and will demonstrate best practices in an interactive setting. For the conference day we invite abstracts for individual papers of 30 minutes or complete sessions of 90 minutes. The maximum amount of words for individual papers is 500; in case of a session please submit a 500 word introduction with abstracts of the session’s papers of 300 words. Possible topics include: • reflections on hermeneutics in the digital age • source criticism versus digital source criticism • tool criticism • algorithmic criticism • interface criticism • pedagogical approaches to teaching digital history from an educational science perspective For the workshop day we invite proposals for sessions that can last from 90 to 120 minutes, and that should contain a clear objective of what the workshop aims to accomplish. The proposal should describe the envisaged interaction with and take away for participants, which could be in the form of practical guidelines or example case studies that can be emulated. Possible topics include: • The role of Learning Management Systems (Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas) in digital skills teaching • Digital storytelling through the use of tools • Teaching source criticism; tool criticism; algorithmic criticism; interface criticism Proposals can be sent to: digitalhermeneutics2018@gmail.com (please cc: gerben.zaagsma@uni.lu).

I'm not a philosopher, I'm a physicist and can but reason from the purely 'mechanical perspective'. Yet the 'mechanical perspective' which thinkers deem as reductive can justify some paradoxes (e.g. the lack of information is information nonetheless; the perception fallacy is an ill-posed argument); it can pinpoint some details that are not so familar (e.g. digital computers are not fully digital; bits are not numbers); it provides insights into the digital properties of the human speech and writing and so forth. I'm convinced that some vexed arguments discussed in DH merely echo the fragmentary and self-referential statements typical of theoretical computer science (I believe that all the readers are aware of the present sad intellectual situation); I've written the book 'Logic of Analog and Digital Machine' which deals with the previous arguments and also aims to illustrate the logic thread which unifies the information technology, and makes a variety of achievements to be a consistent whole. Obviously from the 'mechanical perspective'! http://www.edscuola.it/archivio/software/bit/course/book.htmlhttps://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=39639%27, Best regards Paolo Rocchi Docent Emeritus IBM via Shangai 53, 00144 Roma Adjunct Professor LUISS University via Romania 32, 00197 Roma --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2018 07:12:14 +0100 From: Ken Kahn Subject: Re: 32.91 cognitive consequences of digital In-Reply-To: <20180616072857.CB494138D@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Willard asks "A clear explanation of the lambda calculus would, of course, be welcome, esp if it made clear what it has to do with what we do with the machine we have -- which is my (narrow?) concern." This thread began with a question about "the consequences for research of the fact that the digital machine operates digitally". At some level computers operate on bits. To a programmer using a functional programming language the computer is an approximation of lambda calculus and it matters little whether at some level it is working with bits. To a devious hardware designer what people call a digital circuit is analogue. See for example Exploiting the Analog Properties of Digital Circuits For Malicious Hardware (https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2017/9/220443-exploiting-the-analog-properties-of-digital-circuits-for-malicious-hardware/abstract). From the paper's abstract: "we construct a circuit that uses capacitors to siphon charge from nearby wires as they transit between digital values. When the capacitors are fully charged, they deploy an attack that forces a victim flip-flop to a desired value." A bit is an abstraction of what is going on in my computer as much the programming language I use is. -ken kahn On Sat, 16 Jun 2018 at 08:29, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 91. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > [...] > > --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2018 08:17:49 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: reasoning with a digital tool > In-Reply-To: < > 20180615053753.5BE8822D4@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> > > In Humanist 32.82 I asked about the specifically cognitive consequences > of working with a digital machine, meaning or intending to mean the > consequences for how we reason, not so much what we reason about -- > although those two things are closely related. > > Bill Benzon asked, "So, you're with him [Aden Evens] on the 1s and 0s > [of digital hardware] and how that 'trickles up' to everything we do > with computers."

Indeed, how many times we focus on 'being right' and winning an argument, rather than being open to consider the question from a new perspective? So, yes, 'being correct', 'having done correctly', cannot necessarily mean that we are 'right'. After all, it has been said that the source of wisdom is wonder (see Aristotle), and being too much concentrated on our vision of how things should be and on how to apply to them our method could prevent us from seeing things for what they are. Thank you for your attention, warm regards.

Egan observes that "the distinction between analogue and digital means of representation does not rest on the distinction between continuous and discrete variables. If it did, the distinction would indeed deconstruct itself on inspection, since at bottom all representations come down to numbers of discrete atoms and no truly continuous variables exist. Rather, the analogue/digital distinction rests on a distinction between a representation that is proportional to the quantity it represents, and a representation that uses an arbitrary and merely symbolic encoding of the quantity it represents" I find this argument compelling, and so probably will Manfred. For in his own reasoning the distinction of proportional vs. symbolic (arbitrary) representation seems to play a major role in his suggestion to reconceptualize 'information' by progressing from a static to a processual model. Manfred proposes that "(...) information available at time x is the result of an interpretative process i() which has interpreted the information available at an earlier point of time x-alpha over the time span t between x and alpha, in the context of a knowledge generating process s(). This knowledge generating process in turn has been running over the time span t between x and beta, using the available information at the point of the time preceding x by beta. " If knowledge is information processed over time, the "t" in Manfred's proposed formula is no longer just an abstract (symbolic) temporal metric distinguishing discrete sets of attributions of interpretations (=meta-date) to data. It also serves as an indexical (analog) pointer to the knowledge processing system's internal state in its relation to dynamically evolving contexts. And that then brings us back to the question whether it makes sense for Humanists to conceptualize 'knowledge' in a phenomenologically agnostic, data driven fashion - knowledge for whom? Once the code is lost symbolic representation cannot be tied back to the experiential (historical) domain. But we can of course also turn the argument around, as Manfred illustrates by way of infinite regression when questioning whether “22°” is indeed data and not already - information.

In-Reply-To: <20180613051730.60091252C@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, I am not sure if this goes in the direction of your request, but what it brings to (my) mind, is this. Computation and Human Experience Philip E. Agre Cambridge University Press, 1997 Chapter 1 - Introduction, can be found here http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/che-intro.html Prefaced by the following description This book offers a critical reconstruction of the fundamental ideas and methods in artificial intelligence (AI) research. By paying close attention to the metaphors of AI and their consequences for the field's patterns of success and failure, it argues for a reorientation of the field away from thought and toward activity. By considering computational ideas in a large, philosophical framework, the author eases critical dialogue between technology and the social sciences. AI can benefit from an understanding of the field in relation to human nature, and in return, it offers a powerful mode of investigation into the practicalities of physical realization. Also, pushing on from Gabriel Egan's nice clarification of the continuous and the analog -- with which I agree -- I would suggest not [con]fusing discrete and digital might help too. Speech and language, for example, are (necessarily) discrete, but not intrinsically digital. Words written by hand on a piece of paper, say, are discrete, but not digital. The same words presented in a PDF document (say) are, however, encoded in a digital form. Clocks, which Gabriel also pointed too, are, I think, a useful thing to think about here. We still put analogue faces on what is fundamentally a discrete (two-state) mechanism. Clocks just count the 'ticks' and 'tocks' of some kind of physical oscillator. (Except water clocks. These estimate the rate at which water molecules flow out of a reservoir.) Before clocks had faces, they sounded time passing, using bells, usually, to mark passing hours, half hours, or sometimes quarters. (And some clocks have both.) This sounding the passing of time is a discrete indicator, not an analogue one. But not a digital [inter]face. For that we need to see digits, and usually the digits of our common decimal system, but it could be the digits of any other number system, including binary numbers. But, the classical clock face does have digits on it: sometimes Roman numerals, sometimes Arabic numerals. But we don't call these "digital clocks." Why not? I would say, because their mechanisms are not digital, though they are discrete, so that we can have digital watches with analogue faces.

When he writes about the vanity of pushing the usual arguments in defence of the humanities, Fish is as we (used to) say, right on. He identifies fatal flaw after fatal flaw, concluding, as Oscar Wilde did on behalf of the arts, that the only sound motivation is doing the humanities for its own sake. So far so good. I very much hope everyone listens. But then, as he singles out digital humanities for another concentrated attack, we begin to part company. Where he looks, at what kinds of claims and assertions, he's right again, painfully so in my opinion. The real problem is that he's gone for the noisily promotional and inward looking rather than at the machine itself in its mathematical, historical, anthropological &al contexts and at its interrelations with the older disciplines in the richness of their resources. The quieter research is exciting. A few of us, for example, are gathering at De Montfort early next month to discuss the textual editing side of it and some other things too (see http://cts.dmu.ac.uk/events/CMLHTS/). The conferences, books, articles etc etc demonstrate here and there what's being done and suggest what might be. All one has to do is look. But of course if all you're doing is listening for the trumpets of the Apocalypse you'll hear rather poor, squeaky imitations. All that proves is that some people have misunderstood both the digital machine and the Apocalypse. The humanities: for their own sake, because indirectly they foster a life worth living. Comments?

His lingering ride into the sunset seems punctuated by ire against non-Fishian ideas - DH counts which is a badge of honor. There is plenty to be embarrassed about for what has happened to DH and I have long ago and I should add, quickly given up submitting papers to DH-conferences. The most recent well-meaning DH dud which has crossed my path through no fault of my own is an application of Voyant tools To Schelling's Philosophy of Art. I suppose I should be happy that the tools we used to have to program ourselves are now available in professional-looking - emphasis on looking - suite of tools. Where to begin with clearing up the misconceived application of digital tools. Briefly there can be no humanities without "reading" or "having learned to read" or thinking "reading is central and not easy". This dawned on me while reading a DH paper on Husserl having failed to read the text adequately. I have since tried to make amends, although I was the only one who noticed. This is not to imply that computers cannot be very helpful in assisting reading. It was easier to poke fun at Stanley Fish almost a decade ago when he whiled away the dead time of holidays (x-mas new year) without an MLA to his liking by harpooning DH. I guess it is too late to say "Sorry" - which I am emphatically not. Below a series of blogs in answer back in 2011. Probably still valid, I have come to appreciate Fish perspective although we were not all pleased at his performances at Duke - way back when. http://digitalhumanities-vs-stanleyfish.blogspot.com/2012/02/peabody-institute-jhu-digital.html 2018-06-19 7:30 GMT+02:00 Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk>: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 98. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 06:19:26 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: Fish'ing for fatal flaws > > > Dead to rights, until he mistakes a part for the whole: Stanley Fish, > "Stop trying to sell the humanities", in the latest Chronicle of Higher > Education.

Warm wishes, Randa El Khatib Open Knowledge Practicum (Fall 2018) Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL; etcl.uvic.ca; @ETCLatUVic) In partnership with the University of Victoria Libraries and the Faculty of Humanities, UVic’s Electronic Textual Cultures Lab is offering a number of Open Knowledge Practicum fellowships for university faculty, staff, and students, as well as members of the greater Victoria community. For the Fall academic term (September – December 2018), fellows in this program will join the team in the ETCL to contribute to a well–defined topic in open, public venues (e.g., Wikipedia). Participants may wish to: explore an area connected to their study, working with a field specialist; make more accessible some of the work in their field; engage in family, community, or local public history; draw on materials from UVic’s library and archives, create an openly available exhibit of digital material; contribute to online knowledge bases, and beyond. We ask only that you use your imagination to propose something you’d be interested in doing! Expectations for OKP Fellows: - have basic facility in the area of proposed work and technologies pertinent to the proposal; - are self-directed and have experience working toward defined goals; - participate on-campus, in the ETCL, for a minimum of 3 scheduled hours per week; - are able to work successfully in a team environment; - are able to make a 4-month commitment to this practicum. Open Knowledge Practicum fellowships are based in the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab, an interdisciplinary research organization at UVic. Applications should consist of [1] a cover letter that proposes work for the practicum and outcomes, [2] a CV, and [3] the names and contact information of two people who can speak to your competencies in the area. Please send them electronically to >. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, beginning 18 July; for the Fall academic term, announcements will be made by 27 July 2018. Please indicate in your cover letter if you would like to be considered for an honorarium related to the fellowship; several are available. Please visit our website to get a sense of the practicum based on previous projects and to learn more about the ETCL.

For many, digital literary studies is equal to and limns the digital humanities. Thus the failure of the machine to "read" means that digital humanities fails.

His lingering ride into the sunset seems punctuated by ire against non-Fishian ideas - DH counts which is a badge of honor. There is plenty to be embarrassed about for what has happened to DH and I have long ago and I should add, quickly given up submitting papers to DH-conferences. The most recent well-meaning DH dud which has crossed my path through no fault of my own is an application of Voyant tools To Schelling's Philosophy of Art. I suppose I should be happy that the tools we used to have to program ourselves are now available in professional-looking - emphasis on looking - suite of tools. Where to begin with clearing up the misconceived application of digital tools. Briefly there can be no humanities without "reading" or "having learned to read" or thinking "reading is central and not easy". This dawned on me while reading a DH paper on Husserl having failed to read the text adequately. I have since tried to make amends, although I was the only one who noticed. This is not to imply that computers cannot be very helpful in assisting reading. It was easier to poke fun at Stanley Fish almost a decade ago when he whiled away the dead time of holidays (x-mas new year) without an MLA to his liking by harpooning DH. I guess it is too late to say "Sorry" - which I am emphatically not. Below a series of blogs in answer back in 2011. Probably still valid, I have come to appreciate Fish perspective although we were not all pleased at his performances at Duke - way back when. http://digitalhumanities-vs-stanleyfish.blogspot.com/2012/02/peabody-institute-jhu-digital.html 2018-06-19 7:30 GMT+02:00 Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk>: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 98. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 06:19:26 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: Fish'ing for fatal flaws > > > Dead to rights, until he mistakes a part for the whole: Stanley Fish, > "Stop trying to sell the humanities", in the latest Chronicle of Higher > Education.

It is indeed odd that someone whose career has spanned more than one discipline would exhibit the typical problem many have when they encounter research from a discipline other than their own, namely to be unable to see this research as research. (See the etymology of the word 'barbarian'.) I suspect there's another problem here as well: the fear of, and so inability to see work tinged with or involving, mathematics (mathophobia?). We've run into his "extreme or irrational fear or dread aroused by" (OED) mathematically involved analysis of literary style before. What he and others are missing as a result! Note that it is not necessary at all to be mathematically competent to see what's happening and appreciate the importance of current work in statistically sophisticated computational stylistics, for example. It helps to observe that sorting and counting are mathematical operations, then to investigate what happens when these are powered by the digital machine over large quantities of data. As I have found more than once, it is a mistake to assume that the old fears are a thing of the past or will be any time soon. Fearful reactions, such as Fish's, are valuable. They point to the depth and breadth, if you will, of the cognitive changes at work, slow though they may be. Comments?

Fish’s mathophobia was in full force in the Q&A after an address he gave before the School of Criticism and Theory in the summer of 2015–a video and a transcript are online: http://www.cornell.edu/video/stanley-fish-promise-of-digital-humanities http://www.cornell.edu/video/stanley-fish-promise-of-digital-humanities . In the course of answering a question he mentions LiteryLab 4, "A Quantitative Literary History of 2,958 19th Century British Novels: the semantic cohort method", out of Stanford. He asks: "Now what is the semantic cohort method? Well, it turns out to be a method-- by the way, just as a piece, I don't know, something that's almost, if you pardon the word, aesthetic. When I come upon an essay that has a page in it like that, I want to reach for my gun.” As he utters that last phrase he’s holding up a page from the pamphlet, a page given over to a graph. He goes on to observe: "But they also discovered as the century progresses, the seed words become less descriptive of general character formations and of moral imperatives, and more descriptive of the rich, and to some extent, the nitty gritty feel of the city.” One can quibble with that formulation, but let’s let it go. He then asserts, "Now in other words, what these people have discovered is that if you read Jane Austin, there are many ways in which it will be different from the experience of reading Charles Dickens.” That’s quite a bit of sophistry. Heuser and Le-Khac argue for one kind of change in the course of the century and Fish transforms it into “many ways”. He’s working hard to miss the point. He finishes with his standard critique of computational criticism, "But for them to have-- and these guys know this-- for them to have reached that conclusion is to have had that conclusion waiting, not in the wings, but at the beginning.” Well sure, they were looking for something, and they took Raymond Williams as their point of departure. And they found something, not many kinds of changes, but one specific kind of change. Later in the Q&A, one interlocutor begins with, "I'll tell you, for me, every time names and words turn into numbers, I start to get a chill.” Once again, mathophobia.

Frankly, some of the rhetoric I’ve read supporting distant reading is hyperbolic, uninformed, and unprofessional. It’s also naïve about how language works because it doesn’t seem able to take into account polysemy very well. For example, there are 430 definitions of the word “set“ in the Oxford English Dictionary. If that’s been coded as one word in most given documents, then the coding is defective. And if coding takes into account different definitions of the same word, then it is dependent upon close reading practices, so that distant reading practices are only effective when they are built on close reading practices. I think the overall problem, really, is what people think they need to do to sell a new practice or method. You don’t have to invalidate the entire history of study to validate what you are doing here: you just need to demonstrate that your method provides insights that other methods don’t. I think that’s a fair and reasonable claim that well constructed digital humanities projects can make. I also think they don’t have to be presented as being completely different from everything that’s gone before, because really they are not.

I found Fish's arguments more cogent and genuinely challenging about the nature of textual meaning than I had come to expect having read only his recent journalistic writing. I agree with the general view expressed in this forum that Fish wastes a lot of time attacking some straw men that he has constructed from a few quotations from a few Digital Humanists. If Digital Humanities work was inherently Deconstructionist, as Fish seems to believe, then his arguments would have some considerable force. But I find Digital Humanities work in my area to be notably anti- Deconstructionist, most obviously in giving us firm evidence that authors really do play a large role in shaping what gets written. Willard asks: << ... if we step beyond Fish's mathophobia, shared by many, what can we learn from the condition ... >> I happen to be giving a paper on mathophobia to the International Shakespeare Conference in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, next month. I start from the widely accepted observation that all mathematical expressions and equations can in fact be written out more fully in words, and that the off-putting symbols that mathematical arguments use are merely shorthand conventions that mathematical authors in cross-over papers (ie Digital Humanities papers) really ought to take the time to remind their readers about. That is, a large part of the resistance to maths in Humanities papers comes from their authors' failure to gloss the unfamiliar (but not conceptually difficult) terms and conventions. A lot of blame falls on the other side too, though, as Humanists can be shockingly bad readers of sentences that mathematicians have written to explain their mathematical procedures. My 'take-away' message is that what some Humanists think is their own innumeracy is in fact a particular kind of illiteracy.

The infecting agent, communicated orally and in blog form, was working without safeguards e.g. standard forms of politeness in academic discourse - from his own jealously guarded interpretive community - and I quote from Richard Crouter's 1974 article on Reinhold Niebuhr where he cites Royce's notion of interpretive community - what a laugh - in trying to untangle the relationship of Tillich and Niebuhr attitudes toward stoicism - everyone knows that Fish invented the term and hates when anyone uses it without citing him at the originator. Be that as it may - it is charming to hear Fish praise his own , almost made me cry, interpretive community (this time quoted from from Fish himself} after his two hour whacking at DH to a roomful of people who for the most part have never heard of DH. Easier to fry up. Of course he ends his talk by promising a bright financial future for DH. And Fish knows about institutional money. So what punishment should we exact for two hours of contumely - it should be measured and appropriate - perhaps a lifetime pass to any and all THATcamps, or to some TEI stuff, no too cruel, or to some "programming" in Aggie-land, no no, let us simply use the term "interpretive community" either quoting Fish ironically and grandiloquently or quoting Royce or Crouter as the first one's to get off the shot, or not citing it at all. That should be enough. I maintain the attitude in my posts - go up against Fish and you will earn at storm of vituperation - mostly undeserved. A brawler can only brawl but when he (or she) goes home at night after a busy day of brawling to his or her interpretive community and I quote Royce - NO - this time the the 1964 Tennessee Historical Quarterly - NO - I think I'll stick with Crouter's reference to Josiah Royce - the brawler becomes all warm and fuzzy - the snows of yesteryear have not yet melted. And for God's sake restrain your enthusiasm let Fish quote your attempt to find words or to explore a phrase - e.g. transductive plasma of interpretation - with derision without a hint of understanding although you would think Fish has the language skills to understand and not just to identify idiots with funding. http://digitalhumanities-vs-stanleyfish.blogspot.com/2012/02/peabody-institute-jhu-digital.html but I would recommend the last blog wher I try to summarize with humor - or we can just let it drop.

[snip] > Willard asks: > > << ... if we step beyond Fish's mathophobia, shared by many, > what can we learn from the condition ... >> But I wonder if, in Fish’s case, "mathophobia” is precisely correct. At the beginning of that 2015 talk he makes it quite clear that he approves of using stylometrics to help resolve the authorship of disputed texts. Stylometrics is math-intensive, but it doesn’t make claims about the meaning of texts. That’s what bothers Fish, the use of math and statistics to gain insight into meaning. And he’s been nursing that one for a long time, It’s central to his (in)famous essay “What Is Stylistics and Why Are They Saying Such Terrible Things About It?” (originally published, I believe, in 1973 and then reprinted in 1980); he alludes to this essay in that 2015 talk. And that essay wasn’t simply about math. Yes, Fish roasts Louis Milic, but he also skewers Richard Ohmann, and MAK Halliday, among others. As far as I know, Milic is the only one who did any counting. But the others used one or another variety of linguistics. Fish would seem to object to the use of any ‘instrument’ other than expository prose. And, as one can argue a variety of positions in prose, Fish doesn’t accept all such arguments. That, however, is a different matter. Those who use instruments other than prose are committing apostasy while those who have the wrong position on interpretation are merely wrong. Meanwhile, out in the Twittervese, Michael Gavin has suggested that mathophobia is a matter of intellectual identity. I fear that he is correct. Whatever is bothering Fish is also a matter of identity. I don’t think matters of identity can be argued around. This is not ignorance or some readily correctible misprision. It’s deeper and more fundamental than that.

Michael Gavin's comment, relayed by Bill Benzon, "that mathophobia is a matter of intellectual identity", or perhaps 'identity' plain and not so simple, makes a lot of sense. I suppose the question to ask is how the threat works. The question of intellectual identity stirs the memory of historians' reactions to mathematicised history, or 'cliometrics', which gained a strong foothold through economic history in the late 1950s and then into 60s, and from there it advanced into mainstream history. The central work in this story was a 1974 book on American slavery by Robert William Fogel and Stanley L. Engerman, Time on the Cross. It is difficult to imagine now the ferocity of reactions to it after the fanfare died down. In a confessional statement in Appendix A of vol. 2, about an earlier reaction to their ideas and methods, they admitted to their aggressive attack on traditional accounts then added, > We aggravated the initial wound by frequently resorting to a language > that the humanists could not understand, by invok­ing behavioral > models whose relevancy seemed dubious, and by transmut­ing some of > the most passionate and personal of human issues into such cold, > sterile terminology that they could hardly be recognized. And all of > this was carried out with the arrogance that is typical of youthful > upstarts. (p. 15) Publication of Time on the Cross drew immediate attention in the U.S., leading to a dedicated conference convened in Rochester NY that year, followed by many reviews and then devastating attacks. As one commentator wrote, "to many [historians]... the future of the profession as well as an interpretation of southern history seemed at stake". So, yes, professional identity was challenged by the cliometric, indeed aggressively mathematical approach. (Flip through the pages of Fogel and Engerman, vol. 2 to get an idea; note the equations and what they were said to explain.) But the problem goes deeper: to the Cold War, with the threat of mathematically enabled nuclear annihilation hanging over everyone's heads. And even deeper than that, having, I suspect, something to do with the muscular claim to unclouded, unsentimental access to Truth attributed to science and attributed by scientists. To my mind, one of the most potent statements of this is by the Nobel geneticist Jacques Monod in Chance and Necessity (1972/1970), following his elegant elaboration of the mechanics of life. Responding to the protest against de-humanisation, he wrote: > For behind the protest is the refusal to accept the essential message > of science. The fear is the fear of sacrilege: of outrage to values; > and it is wholly justified. It is perfectly true that science attacks > values. Not directly, since science is no judge of them and must > ignore them; but it subverts every one of the mythical or philosophical > ontogenies upon which the animist tradition, from the Australian > aborigines to the dialectical materialists, has based morality: > values, duties, rights, prohibitions. > > If he accepts this message in its full significance, man must at last > wake out of his millennary dream and discover his total solitude, his > fundamental isolation. He must realize that, like a gypsy, he lives > on the boundary of an alien world; a world that is deaf to his music, > and as indifferent to his hopes as it is to his suffering or his > crimes. Yes, this is at the extreme end, but Monod is hardly the only one to believe that science corrects us muddled, emotional folk who cannot even handle the maths. I have had charges laid at my door as recently as 4 years ago by colleagues who thought I was up to the same thing as Monod -- merely by showing that worthwhile (I thought) if unorthodox questions could be asked of traditional materials (e.g. in classics and in art history) from a computational perspective. One colleague thought I was scheming to "take over" his discipline. Comments?

Frank Kermode in _The Classic: Literary Images of Permanence and Change_ offers these remarks after providing a crib of Schleiermacher's position: He [Schleiermacher] saw that to break the circle more was needed than mere archeological and philological slogging -- nothing less, in fact, than an act of interpretive genius, of 'divination'. Only thus can the interpreter reach his ultimate goal, which is to understand an author better than he understood himself. This act of divination must be an intuition of a whole, in relation to an integral empire; and so the logical rigour of Schleiermacher and Dilthey reconstitutes the ghosts of empire and province, just as they revive the notion of the author who speak better than he new. I quote at length because of the theme of empire and periphery but also because the "mathphobia" can be interpreted as a centring on the question of the "author" whereas the objects of study of those espousing mathphilia is often the work, the genre, the period. What part? What whole? become key questions. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 35E9517FE; Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:06:17 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 97C9E2A42; Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:06:15 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 084061464; Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:06:12 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180627070613.084061464@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:06:12 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.108 Fish'ing for fatal flaws X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180627070616.7842.39894@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 108.

Since the early 1980s I have worked in and around AI (Artificial Intelligence) and thus experienced and responded to various (strong) criticisms and attacks from outwith, and been a part of various internal fights and struggles (between 'neat' and 'scruffy' knowledge representation builders, Symbol Processing and Artificial Neural Networks advocates, and classical (sense-think-act) and Behaviour-based approaches to building intelligent robots). In summary, I would say almost all of the attacks from outwith have been more about the intellectual identity of the attackers, than about a serious and informed concern for building new knowledge and understanding, and the different ways we might go about trying to do this. The critic outwith always has the advantage of picking upon parts inside that look easy for them to attack, and is unencumbered by being a part of, and having to deal with, the (internal) doubts, difficulties, disagreements, and messiness, that often populate research areas and their practices, specially newish ones. Mostly, I view such attacks as the work of researchers who don't have enough in their own field to engage, interest, and occupy them, and who enjoy Intelectual Identity building by attacking the work of others in [sub]fields they know and care little about. All this kind of thing is, I think, simply to be ignored. Or, occasionally, perhaps, to be laughed at and joked about, internally, of course. (Occasionally, from those genuinely scarred by what we do, or the way we do it, we get accusations of maleficence. But this is, at root, I would say, the result of a radical insecurity in their own research, and their ways of doing it.) What I think is much more important and interesting and needed, is a plentiful supply of internal questioning and doubting when we try to do research in new ways, or on new or different questions, or both. In AI, one of my favourite examples of this kind of internal criticism is a 1976 paper by Drew McDermott titled "When Artificial Intelligence meets Natural Stupidity" [1] ... which might also have some testing things to say about some DH work today. This paper, like others of its kind, didn't change much, but it is, I think, important, and better, to be able to point to some internally expressed concern for, and questioning of, what we are trying to do, how, and what we are claiming to achieve and contribute by our new approaches and methods etc. Carefully prepared efforts to show how (even small) contributions are being made to others, is, I suggest, always better than attempting to defend what we are doing against the critics outwith. There is no successful defense against such attacks, but they almost always only use blanks anyway, so no real harm is ever done, even if they do heat up our emotions. To end, I'll take up something in the quotation of Frank Kermode that Francois nicely points us to: divination. From a dictionary, divination is the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers. (Mirriam-Webster) But I like to bend word meanings a bit, and do so when I tell PhD students that good research involves a fare amount of divination. There is much interpretation to do, and it's often the "omens" we need to look for and at most. And it is our instruments, methods, techniques, and tools that provide the super-natural powers we need to do this divination. All Human artifacts are super to the Natural, I like to think. It is not just how we do our divining that's important, it's what we divine by it: what does this tell us, and how and why is this useful to others? Just like good magic, good research should always be looking for new (super-natural) ways to aid our divinations and uncover the "omens," together with developing the "spells" we need to learn and practice to make these aids work properly. Digitally computed math often makes for excellent spells. It does for lots of other kinds of people, why not Humanists too? That should frighten the likes of Prof Fish. Best regards, Tim Note 1 Drew McDermott, 1976.

RSVP at https://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/events/event/16267 27 June 2018, 4.00pm - 6.00pm Room 243, Second Floor, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU "Book Herstory: Digital Archives and Algorithmic Analysis of Early Modern Women's Writing" Digital archives and computer-assisted textual analysis arguably have made it easier to study the history of books, by facilitating access to books and by enabling the use of ‘big data’ and algorithmic methodologies to answer questions about how books have been made and used over time. But digital technologies privilege some types of information and obscure others, complicating the meaningfulness of the ‘improvements’ these technologies offer. In this seminar, I will focus on the specific challenges and opportunities of studying both the history of early modern books and the history of women’s writing via digital technologies, using Anne Askew’s Examinations (1546–7) as a case study. Elisa Tersigni is the Digital Humanities Research Fellow at the John Rylands Research Institute at the University of Manchester. She recently completed her PhD in English and Book History & Print Culture at the University of Toronto, where she also taught English, Book & Media Studies, and letterpress printing. Her work combines bibliographic and algorithmic methodologies to investigate authorship issues and the role of women in the literary networks of the English Reformation. -- Dr Christopher Ohge Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature Institute of English Studies | School of Advanced Study | University of London Senate House, Room 242 | WC1E 7HU London Co-editor, Melville Electronic Library | Associate editor, Melville’s Marginalia Online http://melvillesmarginalia.org/ Phone: 020 7862 8729 | Twitter: @cmohge _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 310082AFC; Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:23:19 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id BB8172AF8; Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:23:17 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D1BE42AE8; Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:23:14 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180628062314.D1BE42AE8@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:23:14 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.111 Fish'ing for fatal flaws X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180628062319.31921.72166@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 111.

I disagree that Fish is bothered by: "...the use of math and statistics to gain insight into meaning." Fish's point is that gathering up every instance of a word or phrase in a 19th century corpus, in his interpretative community, doesn't provide a basis for insight into meaning. Fish is free to criticize such shallow dredging of a corpus as providing insight into meaning, but it is a different "set of institutional practices," which he says defines an interpretative community. There isn't some neutral ground on which to compare the "...institutional practices..." of different interpretative communities so I would take Fish's comments as an incentive for critical examination of the institutional practices of digital humanities. I'm not at all offended by his efforts to provoke comment, although I remain disappointed that he has yet (to my knowledge) to make the strong move and moved interpretative communities beyond the realm of literary studies. I offer the competing interpretations of the events of 9/11 as evidence that interpretative communities are quite alive and well beyond the halls of academia. (Briefly, some see 9/11 as a vicious, cowardly attack, while others see it as a very partial repayment for blighting the lives of millions. Same "factual" events, very different conclusions.) Hope you are having a great week!

First, I don’t see what’s gained by referring to “his interpretive community”–something which Fish himself doesn’t do. Second, it seems to me that, for the most part, his recent criticisms of computational criticism–the NYTimes pieces, the 2015 School of Criticism address, the current Chronicle piece–are not based on careful consideration of specific studies. Rather they are based on what he finds in general position statements and manifestoes. Thus, at least to those of us who follow recent work with some care, it seems that Fish is attacking a straw man. The work I’ve read in, for example, Journal of Cultural Analytics (http://culturalanalytics.org), doesn’t fit Fish’s straw man characterization. Well, Fish is a busy man and would rather not spend a lot of time reading work that doesn’t speak to his interests and that, furthermore, he finds methodologically challenging, so straw men is all he’s got time for. Moreover, he knows there’s an audience out there that is perfectly content to watch him batter down straw men. Third, it seems to me that he criticizes this straw man in terms very much like those he established in his 1973 essay, “What Is Stylistics and Why Are They Saying Such Terrible Things About It?” In that essay he criticizes and handful of specific studies, and does so in some detail. Only one of those studies used computational methods. The others were motivated by linguistics. So it’s not computation as such that bothers him. It’s something else, something that may come to play in computational studies, but is present in work inspired by linguistics as well. What is this something else? Answering that question is, alas, more than I’m prepared to undertake in this note. Fourth, as for "shallow dredging of a corpus”, you’re doing a lot of with with that phrase “shallow dredging”. Who’s in favor of shallow dredging? No one. There’s a lot of computational criticism out there. Some of it is good, some isn’t. But then, isn’t that true of ANY kind of criticism? Fifth. I think we should place a ten-year ban on the use of certain spatial metaphors. Let there be no more talk of “close reading” or “distant reading”, or “surface reading”, “depth”, or even “hidden meaning”.

DKU is poised to launch an innovative, integrated and interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences undergraduate program leading to both Duke and DKU degrees. This curriculum is designed to give the arts a central role. This role begins with an initial major in Media and Arts and we seek a faculty leader who can further develop a curricular and co-curricular vision for the arts at DKU. We seek a faculty leader whose talent for creating original programs is as abundant as that for explicating or creating original works of art. The Founding Distinguished Professor of the Arts must be an exceptional leader who can lay the foundation for the visual, performing, and literary arts and connect these with the university's other disciplines in new and meaningful ways. The faculty leader must also be an "orchestra conductor" who creates a larger, harmonious whole by forging relationships with practicing artists and performers, arts institutions, special populations like children and the elderly, and entrepreneurs and corporations. The role will evolve organically from several essential building blocks: * Introduce path-breaking teaching and scholarship in the visual and performing arts. * Connect the arts at Duke Kunshan, via students and faculty, to the rest of society by organizing collaborations that range from international conferences to the Signature Work of individual students, drawing in top practitioners from a wide range of fields. * Innovate through integration of ideas and techniques and forge new linkages between the arts and other disciplines, including health and the environment. * Act as a magnet for other outstanding arts and humanities faculty, as well as faculty in other disciplines seeking to incorporate the arts into their work. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in an appropriate field (e.g. M.F.A.). Successful candidates should show a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching in a liberal arts curriculum and a demonstrated record of leadership in an academic setting. Research and scholarship are also highly valued. Applicants should provide a curriculum vitae, a research statement and a teaching statement, as well as names and contact information for three references. All materials should be submitted through Academic Jobs Online: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/11360 . The search committee also invites and encourages letters of nomination for potential candidates. Nominations and questions about the positions may be sent to?arts-search@dukekunshan.edu.cn using "Arts Search" as the subject line. Priority will be given to applications received by October 15, 2018; we will accept applications until the position is filled. DKU is a partnership of Duke University, Wuhan University and the Municipality of Kunshan, China (https://dukekunshan.edu.cn).* The DKU campus is 37 miles west of Shanghai in Kunshan, and is connected to Shanghai via an 18-minute high-speed train and a subway-light rail train system. DKU provides competitive compensation, benefits and start-up packages. As an international intellectual community that encourages diversity, openness and creative learning, DKU welcomes outstanding faculty from around the world who contribute diverse perspectives and experiences to a global learning and research environment. DKU particularly welcomes applications from underrepresented groups and minorities. *"Duke Kunshan University (DKU) is accredited by the Ministry of Education (MOE) of the People's Republic of China. Duke University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) in the United States to award baccalaureate, master's and doctorate degrees. Duke Kunshan University is not accredited by SACSCOC and the accreditation of Duke University does not extend to or include Duke Kunshan University or its students. Note that DKU students successfully completing the course of study required by Duke Kunshan University will be conferred both a DKU graduation certificate and diploma officially approved by the MOE as well as a diploma from Duke University (Duke University and its degrees are accredited by SACSCOC). Further, although Duke University agrees to accept certain course work from Duke Kunshan University to be applied toward an award from Duke University, that course work may not be accepted by other colleges or universities in transfer, even if it appears on a transcript from Duke University. The decision to accept course work in transfer from any institution is made by the institution considering the acceptance of credits or course work". --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 15:55:24 +0000 From: "J.

My point was that if you accept that interpretative communities exist, then of necessity, Fish himself must be located in at least one such community. Not that the community belongs to him but that he is located in one (according to his account, multiple) interpretative communities. I'm working from your report, the Chronicle has insulated itself from non-subscriber reading and/or comments. I do appreciate the pointer to Journal of Cultural Analytics (http://culturalanalytics.org), which has a wealth of great content. Great content that is still subject to the criticism voiced by Fish in “What Is Stylistics and Why Are They Saying Such Terrible Things About It?" From Fish's later introduction to that essay: "... to answer the question "Does it illuminate the text?" This question troubled me because of what it assumes and, by assuming, predecides. First of all, it assumes that texts are independent of theories, an assumption that is, at the very least, arguable, and one I was in the process of challenging. Second, it assumes that theory is justified only in its relation to practice, whereas it seemed to me that theory is a form of thinking with its own goals and rules, and therefore that theories should be evaluated in terms of the coherence of their claims. Third, it assumes that it would be possible for a theory to not illuminate a text, whereas it was becoming clearer and clearer to me that the relationship between theory and practice is a secure one. That is, theories always work and they will always produce the results they predict, results that will be immediately compelling to those for whom the theory's assumptions and enabling principles are self-evident. Indeed, the trick would be to find a theory that didn't work." (apologies for the long quote, any errors are mine) I don't see any "straw men" in that later preface to his essay. Fish is saying, at least in my reading, that you can proceed with whatever tools (digital humanities) you like, but be aware there are multiple unexamined layers (as seen by different interpretative communities) beneath those tools. (The same is true for non-digital tools as well.) If anything, Fish's criticism calls for a deeper analysis and awareness about the limits and assumptions of digital humanities tooling. Do you find that objectionable or Fish's pointing out that sort of questioning isn't common? (As I said, I haven't seen the piece where he was writing for the groundlings so I assume it wasn't as precise as his formal writing.) > Fifth. I think we should place a ten-year ban on the use of certain spatial metaphors. Let there be no more talk of “close reading” or “distant reading”, or “surface reading”, “depth”, or even “hidden meaning”. Religions have been trying to enforce readings on "texts" for centuries, with very little success. I don't see any signs of that changing for religions or digital humanities.  Patrick -- Patrick Durusau patrick@durusau.net Technical Advisory Board, OASIS (TAB) Editor, OpenDocument Format TC (OASIS), Project Editor ISO/IEC 26300 Co-Editor, ISO/IEC 13250-1, 13250-5 (Topic Maps) Another Word For It (blog): http://tm.durusau.net Homepage: http://www.durusau.net Twitter: patrickDurusau _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 01E012AE9; Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:52:05 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4657A2AF2; Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:52:04 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5CCBE2AEE; Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:52:00 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180702055201.5CCBE2AEE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:52:00 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 32.119 Fish'ing for fatal flaws X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180702055205.4309.25395@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 119.

In this process, you have to think just a bit about that different word and what it means. In there other hand, there is the troublesome “text”. What’s that? In some cases it’s a physical object, perhaps a codex, a scroll, or even the symbolic marks on such things. Beyond that, the concept is rather vague. Consider this passage from the introduction* Rita Copeland and Frances Ferguson prepared for five essays from the 2012 English Institute devoted to the text: Yet with the conceptual breadth that has come to characterize notions of text and textuality, literary criticism has found itself at a confluence of disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, history, politics, and law. Thus, for example, notions of cultural text and social text have placed literary study in productive dialogue with fields in the social sciences. Moreover, text has come to stand for different and often contradictory things: linguistic data for philology; the unfolding “real time” of interaction for sociolinguistics; the problems of copy-text and markup in editorial theory; the objectified written work (“verbal icon”) for New Criticism; in some versions of poststructuralism the horizons of language that overcome the closure of the work; in theater studies the other of performance, ambiguously artifact and event. “Text” has been the subject of venerable traditions of scholarship centered on the establishment and critique of scriptural authority as well as the classical heritage. In the modern world it figures anew in the regulation of intellectual property. Has text become, or was it always, an ideal, immaterial object, a conceptual site for the investigation of knowledge, ownership and propriety, or authority? If so, what then is, or ever was, a “material” text? What institutions, linguistic procedures, commentary forms, and interpretive protocols stabilize text as an object of study? [p. 417] “Linguistic data” and “copy-text”, they sound like the physical text itself, the rest of them, not so much. At least in computational criticism it’s pretty clear what kind of thing the text is. It’s the symbols on the page as they have been digitized, and there’s extensive discussion about what’s entailed in that digitization. In a way, it’s a wonder that we can get anything at all by analyzing just those marks on the page using computational methods. Because that’s all they are, just dumb marks on the page. As Michael Gavin noted, in response to an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that’s paywalled: “Outsiders do not get how lexical patterns relate to things they know” (https://twitter.com/Michael_A_Gavin/status/920372827290783745). Unfortunately, bringing outsiders over that barrier is not easy. It’s not something readily accomplished in an article or two on corpus linguistics for the humanist. *Rita Copeland and Frances Ferguson, “Introduction”, ELH, Volume 81, Number 2, Summer 2014, pp. 417-422. > --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:24:54 -0400 > From: Patrick Durusau > Subject: Re: 32.116 Fish'ing for fatal flaws > In-Reply-To: <20180630075159.5A2221443@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> > > > Bill, > My point was that if you accept that interpretative communities exist, > then of necessity, Fish himself must be located in at least one such > community.

Try it now. I couldn’t get in the first time I attempted, but now it seems freely available. Here’s the link I’ve been using: https://www.chronicle.com/article/Stop-Trying-to-Sell-the/243643?key=m1JvRRyygNd0EHj5AaFoO0ti00iCHCUA2K5ZxC8dMYxDxHtupVA2vVdwCkhaYR63dmtqcHlDbzFCVllkSGhIczZsMXBNMGRlUVpJWFdFUjRSR1cxNS01VnN2SQ Here’s one of his paragraphs on computational criticism – which he seems to be taking as a metonymy for all of DH, which is nonsense, of course, but that’s how Fish works: But there is an even deeper problem with the digital humanities: It is an anti-humanistic project, for the hope of the project is that a machine, unaided by anything but its immense computational powers, can decode texts produced by human beings. For it to work, the project requires a digital dictionary — a set of fixed correlations between formal patterns and the significances they regularly convey. There is no such dictionary, although if there were one the acts of readers and interpreter could be dispensed with and bypassed; one could just count things and go directly from the result to a statement of what Paradise Lost means. That is the holy grail of the digital-humanities project, at least with respect to interpretation: It wants to get rid of the inconvenience of partial, limited human beings by removing from the patterns they produce all traces of the human. It is an old game forever being renewed, but in whatever form it takes, it’s a sure loser. That’s a straw man. As far as I’m aware, no current investigator claims to have such a beast, nor claims it as something they or the discipline is working toward. Fish is either badly misinformed and doesn’t know what he is talking about or he is (perhaps deliberately) misreading. Whatever the case, it isn’t a criticism that warrants much more than dismissal.

In the Chronicle piece, Fish writes that we cannot make sense of the patterns found in a piece of writing "without a prior determination that someone is using them to send a message". That's the Intentionalist view, and it seems to me to ignore the unconscious aspects of writing. Before the Digital Humanities, it was possible to dismiss, say, a Psychoanalytical reading of a piece of writing by saying that the evidence for it simply was not present in the writing: it was all in the imagination of the interpreter, who had been fooled by the pseudo-intellectual theories of Freud and his followers. The Digital Humanities provide indisputable evidence that the unconscious mind does produce objective patterns in the writing that are unavailable to the conscious mind and that, for that reason, cannot be explained as someone's attempt to "send a message", as the Intentionalists would have it. When one early modern dramatist imitates another he is able to alter the frequency with which he uses lexical words to match the style of the other writer, but is not able to do the same with the frequency of his function-word use. That is why imitation does not grievously undermine our best authorship attribution tests. It is not plausible that one writer uses, say, 'and' and 'the' at a markedly greater or lesser rate than another by conscious intention, not least because writers fail to modulate these rates when performing imitations. But in his address at Cornell University on 15 June 2015, didn't Fish explicitly exclude authorship attribution studies from his critique of the Digital Humanities? Yep, and that's Reaction Formation at work!

Registration for The Connected Past Oxford 2018 is open now. A two-day international inter-disciplinary conference featuring 46 talks about network research on a wide variety of topics including Archaeology, Physics, History and Computer Science. Registration: https://connectedpast.net/registration-2/  Programme: https://connectedpast.net/other-events/oxford-2018/programme/ 6-7 December 2018 University of Oxford, United Kingdom Keynotes? Dr. Nathalie Riche (Microsoft Research) and Dr. Matthew Peeples (Arizona State University) How do social networks evolve over huge time-scales? How did geography constrain or enhance the development of past social networks? These are fundamental questions in both the study of the human past and network research, yet our ability to answer them is severely hampered by the limited development of spatiotemporal network methods. PastNet is an inter-disciplinary network that aims to stimulate the development and application of such methods through networking meetings, a conference and a workshop. Formal network methods are increasingly commonly applied in a wide range of disciplines to study phenomena as diverse as the connectivity of neurons in the human brain, terrorist networks, a billion interlinked Facebook profiles, and power grids. Despite this diversity and the decades-long tradition of using network methods in the social sciences, physics and computer science, the development of techniques for the study of spatial networks and long-term network change has so far been largely neglected. Network research is also becoming more common in disciplines concerned with the study of past human behaviour: archaeology, classics and history. These disciplines have a strong tradition in exploring long-term human behavioural change and spatial phenomena, despite being forced to use fragmentary textual and material sources as indirect evidence of such phenomena. By bringing together network researchers from archaeology, classics, computer science, digital humanities, history, mathematics, network science, oriental studies, physics, psychology, and sociology, The Connected Past 2018 conference in Oxford aims to foster cross-disciplinary exchange to push network research further. The historical disciplines will contribute new spatiotemporal approaches and datasets to network research, whereas the traditional network research disciplines will further stimulate the critical application of network approaches to the study of the human past. This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) and is organised by the TORCH research network PastNet: https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/themes/pastnet-network Presentations will be delivered on the topic of spatial and temporal network approaches, addressing the challenges posed by the use of or apply network approaches in historical/archaeological research contexts, with case studies drawn from all periods and places. Topics might include, but are not limited to: - Spatial networks - Temporal networks - Archaeological network research - Historical network research - Missing and incomplete data in archaeological and historical networks - What kinds of data can archaeologists and historians use to reconstruct past networks and what kinds of issues ensue? - Formal network analysis vs qualitative network approaches: pros, cons, potential, limitations Hope to see you all there! --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 11:10:32 -0400 From: Kyle Roberts Subject: Miriam Posner Announced as Keynote Speaker for DHCS 2018 The Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science (DHCS 2018) http://ctsdh.org/dhcs2018/keynote/ We are very pleased to announce that Miriam Posner will be the keynote speaker for DHCS 2018. Dr. Posner is an assistant professor at the UCLA School of Information and the Program in Digital Humanities. She’s also a digital humanist with interests in labor, race, feminism, and the history and philosophy of data. As a digital humanist, she is particularly interested in the visualization of large bodies of data from cultural heritage institutions, and the application of digital methods to the analysis of images and video. A film, media, and American studies scholar by training, she frequently writes on the application of digital methods to the humanities. Please note the following: * The deadline for submissions is July 15th. The DHCS 2018 CFP is available on Easychair (https://easychair.org/cfp/dhcs2018) . Follow the link or read on below for more information about the CFP. * Conference website is here: http://ctsdh.org/dhcs2018/ The Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science (DHCS) brings together researchers, scholars, librarians, and technologists in the humanities and computer science from across the country and around the world to examine the current state of digital humanities as a field of intellectual inquiry and to identify and explore new directions and perspectives for future research. We are pleased to announce that the thirteenth meeting of the DHCS will be held at the Water Tower Campus of Loyola University Chicago on November 9-11, 2018. The conference is interested in proposals for papers, panels, workshops, and posters from people at all ranks whose work contributes to the themes of the conference.

Relying on the collaborative efforts of volunteer editors to generate and update content, it operates a strict set of editing standards, yet is inherently customisable and ever-changing to reflect the preoccupations of its users. This model, which harnesses the power of the crowd, is an effective one, yet some groups are underrepresented among Wikipedia’s editors; this can lead to imbalanced coverage of some subjects.

I think that we can actually pluralize the subject positions whether of producer or consumer. I am thinking of the work of Roman Jakobson and the model of the six aspects of communication. 1) context 2) addresser (sender) 3) addressee (receiver) 4) contact 5) code 6) message Giving us (1) referential, (2) emotive, (3) conative, (4) phatic, (5) metalingual, and (6) poetic functions. > The Digital Humanities provide indisputable evidence > that the unconscious mind does produce objective patterns > in the writing that are unavailable to the conscious > mind and that, for that reason, cannot be explained > as someone's attempt to "send a message", as the > Intentionalists would have it.

It is not > plausible that one writer uses, say, 'and' and 'the' > at a markedly greater or lesser rate than another by > conscious intention, not least because writers fail > to modulate these rates when performing imitations. The evidence may actually point to multiple subjectivities at work in the bodies in interaction. Even if we acknowledge that will and performance do not coincide, we have a temporal question: writer at T1 and writer at T2 and the thorny question of interpretation: are we dealing with the same writer at two different times or two different states of the writer(function)? Please forgive the abstractness. I am concerned with the somewhat unconscious narrative at play in some author attribution studies and ask just why would DH take up the sleuthing model (evidence points to guilt) as its default mode? The evidence points to a difference. One can with say with greater assurance that an author is different from other others. Can one say with the same assurance that a given textual instance is proved to be the work of an author(s)? I guess what I am harkening towards here is the difference between the forensic and the taxidermical. And betraying a previously unconscious preference. Which I have kindly discovered thanks to your signalling that there is more to sending a message than "sending a message". -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2018 14:09:03 -0400 From: Patrick Durusau Subject: Re: 32.119 Fish'ing for fatal flaws In-Reply-To: <20180702055201.5CCBE2AEE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Bill, On 07/02/2018 01:52 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: [on Fish...] > Here’s one of his paragraphs on computational criticism – which he seems to be taking as a metonymy for all of DH, which is nonsense, of course, but that’s how Fish works: > > But there is an even deeper problem with the digital humanities: It is an anti-humanistic project, for the hope of the project is that a machine, unaided by anything but its immense computational powers, can decode texts produced by human beings. For it to work, the project requires a digital dictionary — a set of fixed correlations between formal patterns and the significances they regularly convey. There is no such dictionary, although if there were one the acts of readers and interpreter could be dispensed with and bypassed; one could just count things and go directly from the result to a statement of what Paradise Lost means. That is the holy grail of the digital-humanities project, at least with respect to interpretation: It wants to get rid of the inconvenience of partial, limited human beings by removing from the patterns they produce all traces of the human. It is an old game forever being renewed, but in whatever form it takes, it’s a sure loser. > > That’s a straw man. As far as I’m aware, no current investigator claims to have such a beast, nor claims it as something they or the discipline is working toward. Fish is either badly misinformed and doesn’t know what he is talking about or he is (perhaps deliberately) misreading. Whatever the case, it isn’t a criticism that warrants much more than dismissal. Not so much a straw man as Fish has confused the Semantic Web project and its progeny with digital humanities. The flatness of interpretation posed by such projects is not exaggerated by Fish. They have failed, do fail and will (in my opinion) continue to fail, but as you say, Fish has confused such projects with Digital Humanities in general. Fish doesn't merit all the blame for that confusion, as Scientific American, a publication that should know better, has published puff pieces on Tim Berners-Lee's pursuit of what Fish describes for more than a decade. Despite its initial and continued failure. Why it merits such fanfare (even in government procurement circles), I cannot say. > [snip] > >> Fish is saying, at least in my reading, that you can proceed with >> whatever tools (digital humanities) you like, but be aware there are >> multiple unexamined layers (as seen by different interpretative >> communities) beneath those tools. (The same is true for non-digital >> tools as well.) >> >> If anything, Fish's criticism calls for a deeper analysis and awareness >> about the limits and assumptions of digital humanities tooling. > Isn’t that kind of generic? Wouldn’t EVERYTHING merit "a deeper analysis and awareness about ... limits and assumptions”? I was speaking of Fish without reference to this particular polemic but know that even as we speak, ontologists are attempting to build the Ur ontology which would enable interchangeable reasoning about the "real world." One of those efforts has spanned a decade and annually they decide there is no common agreement on the most fundamental of items. As is true for ontologies in general, once agreement is reached, there is not looking behind, beyond or under any of the terms it defines. There no place to look. At least not within the ontology. ***** Looking at the essay itself, would you agree that Fish abandons his classic position that the "meaning" a reader sees in a text has no relationship to the intent, present or absence, of an author? I'm thinking of his essay on how to recognize a poem when you see one and his class that mis-took a reading assignment list for a poem and then proceeded to interpret it as a poem. Rather than chewing on Fish's ankles about a straw man, it's it more relevant that Fish is contradicting his long established arguments about textual interpretation? If I format a text by its clause boundaries, sentence ends, or some other means of layout, I will "see" patterns. On what basis should I distinguish those patterns from a page of text I find on the street? One assumes some mechanism created the arrangement of text that I observe. More than a method of production, I don't see what else precedes interpretation. You? Apologies for my arrogance but I think the path to restoring the "humanities to the prominence they once enjoyed" isn't obscure at all. The humanities, perhaps lead by biblical studies, retreated from the public sphere in the early 19th century. Lessons in Hebrew and Greek by mail attracted thousands of subscribers, acquisition of the Freer manuscripts (a New Testament codex) was front page news (American takes its place in biblical studies), public figures could and did comment on humanities issues of the day. I know of one organization that avoids meeting in countries with large evangelical populations for fear of too many "believers" attending a meeting on what is the organization's object of study. I understand the need for terminology that acts like a barrier to the general public, but if the humanities expect public support, shouldn't it be engaging in the public sphere? Not to dictate (Fish's example) but to inform, educate, motivate the general public to care about the fruits of the humanities. For its own sake. Take biblical studies for example. The Hebrew Bible has been long accused of supporting patriarchy. But is that really so? The first mention of a man by name, Adam, is shown lying to the Deity (the woman you gave me beguiled me) and throwing his wife under the bus. Sounds like a lesson to women that 1) men are liars, and 2) men will throw you under the bus. Is that supporting patriarchy or have we become so conditioned to hear patriarchy that's how we read the story of Adam and Eve? (In a gesture of species fairness, the snake is the only one who tells the truth in the story. Go check it out.) The humanities, including digital humanities, needs no justification other than itself, but we need to spread knowledge of the humanities in order for the general public to reach that conclusion as well. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Savoye" Subject: Edgar Allan Poe and Digital Humanities I have been asked to consider writing a chapter on Edgar Allan Poe and Digital Humanities for an online collection (an online collection that will reflect and extend a printed version that will be appearing at the end of the year). I am currently looking through some of the online questions and answers on the website, but I wondered if the definition of Digital Humanities has become any less elusive over the last 7 years or so (given that as the age of the answers online). Perhaps it has grown only more elusive. I am also interested in a good collection (or a couple of good collections) of essays/articles about Digital Humanities, historically or something more current. Is there a list of more or less standard material? I have been working on electronic texts of the works of Edgar Allan Poe (and works about Poe and his writings) for more than 2 decades, but I understand that the idea of Digital Humanities has been moving in lots of different directions during this time, and I would like to have a decent grounding before proceeding with an article.

Well, yes. Earlier in his career he was a reader-response critic. His current intentionalist stance his quite different. He’s changed his mind, as many do.

Positions are for two years, beginning this autumn, in a CNRS research unit (in France) and are paid 2600-3000 euros (gross salary, net salary should be around 2000 euros). French is not mandatory but a good command of both French and English would be a plus. The potential candidates must have defended their PhD after 2013, and must propose a 5 page long research project for one of the advertised positions (it is not possible to apply both to the DH and the AI positions, although this could make sense for some applications. if the research project includes a strong computing part, the candidate should target for the AI position). Lattice (http://lattice.cnrs.fr) is a CNRS research unit located in Paris within the Ecole normale supérieure (https://www.ens.fr), and specialized in linguistics, natural language processing and digital humanities (see http://lattice.cnrs.fr/Digital-Humanities-at-LATTICE). We are especially interested in natural language processing methods applied to large collections of texts (literary texts, but also social sciences or newspapers). The lab has access to large collections of literary texts and we are especially interesting in the study of the evolution of different concepts in the literature over time. We are also interested in phenomena that are both computationally challenging (like recognizing metaphors in texts) and scholarly relevant. See the description (in French) of the different positions below. Potential candidates should contact me to get more information and discuss their research project before July 15th, if they want to apply at Lattice.

Hello! I wanted to share fellowship opportunities to attend the DLF Forum. Please consider applying and/or sharing this opportunity with your colleagues. The application process is lightweight, we promise! --- If you have not yet applied for a fellowship to attend the 2018 DLF Forum (which will take place on October 15-17 near Las Vegas), please consider doing so! You’ll need to submit a brief statement of purpose and a resume or C.V. by 11:59 PM Pacific time on Friday the 6th. There are a number of different fellowships available this year: * DLF HBCU Fellowships for those with HBCU ties. * ARL+DLF Fellowships available to anyone who identifies as members of a group (or groups) underrepresented among digital library and cultural heritage practitioners. * DLF Students & New Professionals Fellowships are available to anyone affiliated with a DLF member institution who is a current student or a new professional. * DLF Focus Fellowships support established professionals working towards a particular project, subject, or goal. * GLAM Cross-Pollinator registration awards are open to members of our partner GLAM organizations: AIC, MCN, and VRA. Full details, including instructions on how to apply and the wide range of digital library, archive, and museum-related topics covered at the Forum, can be found on our site.
