        Subject: CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT "Logic Learning: Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives" (Nov 19th)

Dear Colleagues,

Logic Learning: Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives

The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars from fields like
Philosophy, Psychology, Education and Computing to share empirical and
theoretical work on logic learning in both humans and machines.
Particular emphasis is placed on reasoning with conditionals, though
other aspects of logic learning will also be addressed.

        Subject: Digital Humanities and Materiality seminar

Bitstreams: The Future of Digital Literary Heritage, by Matthew
Kirschenbaum (University of Maryland), is the second meeting of the
Digital Humanities and Materiality seminar series (full description and
program: https://blog.stoa.org/archives/4107).

Presentation: What are the future prospects for literary knowledge now
that literary texts—and the material remains of authorship, publishing,
and reading—are reduced to bitstreams, strings of digital ones and
zeros? What are the opportunities and obligations for book history,
textual criticism, and bibliography when literary texts are distributed
across digital platforms, devices, formats, and networks? Indeed, what
is textual scholarship when the "text" of our everyday speech is a verb
as often as it is a noun? These are the topics which motivate
Bitstreams, a distillation of twenty years of thinking about the
intersection of digital media, textual studies, and literary archives.

This seminar is co-hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub,
University of London, UK, and Star-UBB Institute of Advanced Studies,
University Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj Napoca, Romania.

This event is free to attend, but booking is required:
