Subject: New free to read book - Modelling between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice
Dear all,
Humanist has been a catalyst of discussions and controversies around the concept
and practices of modelling in digital humanities (and related) for a long time,
so it is a pleasure to announce the belated publication of this co-authored book
which might be of interest to some of you and it is free to download/read:
Arianna Ciula, Øyvind Eide, Cristina Marras, and Patrick Sahle
Modelling between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice
Freely available at https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0369
I regret to not have been able to have Dino Buzzetti (who inspired many
discussions on modelling in this and other fora) read it and deconstruct most of
its content… it would have been fun for others to take on the challenge.
Best wishes,
Arianna

Subject: megadungeon & the complexity of digital media data
Dear digital humanists,
Megadungeon, special issue of *magazén: International Journal for Digital
and Public Humanities*, takes you on a journey into the vast depths of
subterranean mazes and structures, revising the the concept of the
megadungeon, originating from role-playing games, as a model to capture the
complexity of digital media. Characterized by procedurally generated
geographies and self-sustaining ecosystems, megadungeons resonate with key
digital aspects: infrastructural stratification, scaling processes,
algorithmic logic, and the gamification of everyday life. In this special
issue, seven articles respond to the editors' call to explore this
speculative analogy from several complementary perspectives: the history of
the dungeon in fantasy and gaming; theories of depth and interconnectedness
in digital media; bestiaries of new digital creatures and monsters;
explorations of open worlds and creative economies in new media art.
For your convenience, please find below the table of contents.
Enjoy the megadungeon!
Franz
