Sounding the Futures: Listening Across Time and Space
The SpokenWeb <https://spokenweb.ca>research network is pleased to
invite you to submit a proposal for our next in-person gathering to be
held in Calgary, June 5-7, 2024. This three-day event at the University
of Calgary will consist of a Symposium of research papers and
presentations and an Institute of workshops and practice-based
exchanges. Building on past SpokenWeb events including gatherings held
at the University of Alberta, Concordia University, and Simon Fraser
University, this event will bring together academics, archivists,
librarians, artists, and members of diverse communities interested in
literature and sound to exchange ideas, methods, art and knowledge about
modes of engaging with the sonic dimensions of literary practice.
As the SpokenWeb Partnership approaches its final years, we invite
proposals for papers, panels, workshops, and / or creative performances
that engage with questions of futurity. How might we hear the future,
including an apocalyptic future which seems to be arriving faster than
anticipated? How might listening and creative practices continue to
change, and transform the possible futures that may lie ahead of us? How
do the temporal dimensions of sound and audition inform our
understanding of pastness and futurity? How might a digital archive’s
orientation to the future differ from that of an analog archive?
Rather than conceiving orality through a metaphysics of presence
harnessed to a particular time and space, queer Oji-Cree writer Joshua
Whitehead asserts “orality never asks to be condensed into singularity”
but rather “it cascades into infinite registers across time, space, and
geographies.” Oral performances of poetries and the recording and
dissemination of these performances further expands the infinity of
these registers and their potential contexts of audition and effect in
the world. If emerging generative AI technologies promise to further
disrupt all arts, including literary arts, have we reached a point at
which, to quote the title of Davide Balula and Charles Bernstein’s
recent book of AI-generated poetry, /Poetry Has No Future Unless it
Comes to an End/?
The SSHRC-funded SpokenWeb partnership aims to develop coordinated and
collaborative approaches to literary historical study, digital
development, and critical and pedagogical engagement with diverse
collections of literary sound recordings from across Canada and beyond.
We look backwards and forwards as we engage with both the precarity and
potential of time-based media that documents literary practice and
performance. How will this field of research interact with a future of
increasingly born-digital, AI-generated, or as yet unimagined sounds of
poetry?
Potential topics for “Sounding the Futures” events include:
* Sound and non-Western futurities, Including Black and Indigenous
futurities
* Archives, oral histories, and posterities
* Artificial Intelligence and sound, listening, performance
* Emerging listening practices
* Speculative genres
* Ecological collapse
* Generative technologies and poetics
* Documenting and archiving emerging creative practices
* Affect and crisis
* Humanities and ChatGPT
* Legacy sounds: sampling and accessing the past
* Analogue revivals
* Sonic artifacts
* Machine listening
* Quantitative Listening
Proposals may take the form of scholarly papers, organized panels,
performances, and workshops. In your submission, please specify your
preferred mode of delivery and any technical requirements that might
exceed the typical. Submissions of up to 500 words (or up to 500 words
per presenter on panels), accompanied by 100-word biographical notes,
should be sent to spokenweb2024@gmail.com
<mailto:spokenweb2024@gmail.com> by *15 October 2023*.
Please note: the Symposium and Institute will be entirely in-person.
Best wishes,
Annie

Subject: Fwd: Online workshop: Introduction to LOD for digital editions and text collections
[Da: Ulrike Henny-Krahmer <ulrike.henny-krahmer@uni-rostock.de>]
Dear members of the TEI community,
we would like to draw your attention to an online workshop that will take
place next week, on September 20 and 21, 2023:
"Introduction to LOD: From Digital Scholarly Editions and Text Collections
to the Web of Data"
Christopher Pollin from the University of Graz and Julia Röttgermann,
Johanna Konstanciak and Tinghui Duan from the University of Trier will
offer with the two-day workshop an introduction to the concepts and
standards of Linked Open Data (LOD), combined with the application to
digital editions and literary studies corpora. Basic knowledge of XML and
TEI is recommended to attend the workshop. The workshop is organized by the
Junior Professorship for Digital
Humanities and the research focus "Digital Hermeneutics" of the Department
"Knowledge - Culture - Transformation" at the University of Rostock.
Participation is free of charge and the workshop will be held
in English.
