Subject: Lecture by James Cummings 31 January
Dear colleagues,
You are invited to join us on Monday January 31, 2022 at 10am Pacific
time when James Cummings (Newcastle University, UK) will deliver a
University of Victoria (BC) Lansdowne lecture sponsored by the
Humanities Computing and Media Centre and The Endings Project.
“Here to enter a dyvel wyth thunder and fyre” – a plea for editorial
infrastructure in the digital age.
The editing of late-medieval plays involves making many individual
decisions, but rather than making the editor’s job easier, digital
technology often adds additional burdens, demanding the knowledge of
encoding formats, fighting for server space, and planning for the
long-term preservation of their cherished editions. Using the editing of
late-medieval drama as a case study, Cummings argues that the existing
infrastructure for digital textual editing fails to provide textual
editors with the appropriate tools for the job of producing scholarly
editions that are truly digital. A long-term proponent of standards such
as the Text Encoding Initiative, he does not suggest that we do away
with any of these concerns, but rather that we create standardised
hosted interfaces for editorial tasks that leverage the power and
expressivity of standards, while simultaneously assisting with long-term
preservation. There are other potential benefits: such infrastructure
could also enable data science research into editorial methods and the
decisions editors make concerning any individual task, paving the way
for more intelligent software in the future.

thought-provoking talk.
