Call for Papers - TEI 2022
The TEI2022 Program Committee is pleased to announce its call for proposals
for the 22th annual Conference and Members’ Meeting of the Text Encoding
Initiative Consortium (TEI), which will be held 13-16 September 2022
(Tue-Fri) at Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom with
pre-conference workshops 12-13 September 2022 (Mon-Tue).
Conference site: https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/tei2022/
ConfTool site: https://www.conftool.pro/tei2022/
This year’s theme is:
Text as Data
The past decade has seen a huge increase of data produced by (social)media
platforms, digital literary outputs, and various mass digitization efforts
of cultural heritage and administrative records. Though these vast data
collections hold enormous potential for diverse research, collecting and
analyzing text-based data also presents unique challenges that need to be
addressed. The increasing quantity of the textual data coincides with its
improved availability and accessibility, but also the continuously
progressing development of data models, tools, text-mining, and
machine-learning techniques. The TEI community is working at the
intersection of many of these areas.
If we want the computer to “understand” a text we must either mark textual
phenomena or instruct a computer to identify them. Flanders and Jannidis
refer to this as “a choice between an algorithmic approach […] or what we
might call a “metatextual” approach, in which information is added to the
text in some explicit form that enables it to be processed intelligently”.
This call invites contributions dealing with text-related tasks in all
aspects of the research process: discovery, analysis, representation,
visualization, prediction, causal inference, etc.
Possible topics related to this theme include:
- TEI for analysis, annotation or visualization
- TEI and machine learning, data science, or text mining
- TEI and literary analysis
- TEI and linked open data
- TEI and complex data structures
- TEI and computer-mediated communication or social media
- TEI and computer vision or handwritten text recognition
- TEI and formal ontologies or stand-off annotation
- TEI and models of text
- TEI and galleries/libraries/archives/museums
but submissions in other areas are also welcome.

- Any special requirements (e.g. participant-supplied laptops,
projector, flipchart)
A list of proposed workshop leader(s) with a brief biography of each one is
required too. Each biography should be no more than 500 characters, and
should include current affiliation, research interests, and projects.
Registration to the workshops is handled via the conference registration.
The conference organisers will not charge for the workshops. Any fees
considered by the workshop organisers will have to be managed by themselves.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
If you are interested in holding a SIG meeting during the conference,
please contact the local hosts to book a room: tei2022@ncl.ac.uk.

Subject: Seminar "Literature and Urban Spaces: the Architecture of the Decameron. Bodily Experience and Spatial History"
Literature and Urban Spaces: the Architecture of the Decameron. Bodily
Experience and Spatial History
Prof. Niall Atkinson (The University of Chicago)
Tuesday, May, 17, 2022, 5:00-6:30 PM CET
Abstract. How various historical voices – literary, metaphorical, represented,
real, and imagined – facilitate our historical understanding of architecture and
urban space in late medieval and Renaissance Italy? Niall Atkinson will try to
answer to this question through two key texts that were produced in Florence in
14th century: Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron, completed towards 1352, and Franco
Sacchetti’s Il Trecentonovelle, written largely in the final decade of the 14th
century. Both of these texts respond explicitly to urban crises by proposing to
tell stories. In order to confront cultural loss and social anxiety, they
deployed different narrative strategies to facilitate this understanding through
a literary discourse that confronted the city not as an object to behold, but as
a problem to be posed. Such an approach assumes that the act of storytelling
embodied a critical mechanism that participated in the construction of symbolic
spaces in the Renaissance.
About the speaker.
Niall Atkinson is Associate Professor of Art History and
Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Chicago. His research
focuses on the experience of architecture and urban space in early modern Italy
in order to understand the build environment as a collective social construction
of the body’s sensorial apparatus. His recent work has explored the relationship
between sound, space, and architecture and their role in the construction of
civic society, culminating in the publication of The Noisy Renaissance: sound,
architecture, and Florentine urban life, which came out in 2016 by the
Pennsylvania State University Press.
Throughout his career, he has received many fellowships and grants: in 2017 he
was appointed a fellow at I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian
Renaissance Studies and has received research grants from the Neubauer Collegium
for Culture and Society (University of Chicago). He has also held fellowships
from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the Kunsthistorisches Institut in
Florenz (Max-Planck-Institut) and in 2019, he was the Geddes Visiting Fellow at
the School of Architecture at the University of Edinburgh. In 2018, he co-
curated the US Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale on the theme,
“Dimensions of Citizenship.”
Niall is currently co-writing a book, with Susanna Caviglia from Duke
University, on the urban visual and spatial effects of the narratives and
itineraries of French travelers to early modern Rome.
He is also experimenting with digital technologies to spatialize the demographic
data contained in the 1427 tax census of Florence (catasto) into an interactive
geographic platform. In collaboration with a consortium of related digital
reconstruction projects focused on Renaissance Florence (Florentia Illustrata),
this method of geo-referenced spatial history will lay the groundwork for future
experiments in mapping the soundscapes and other sensory experiences of early
modern cities.
