Traditionally, squeezes, sketches, and photographs have been the methods by which these representations have been made. This talk will explore the possibilities for epigraphic study offered by non-contact 3D digitization, which enables the ability to capture, distribute, and visualize the full geometric properties of an inscription. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

The table of contents of the four numbers issued so far and further details are shown on http://www.ecdotica.org (provisional web). One of Ecdotica's main goals is to find common points and contacts between the continental traditions and the Angloamerican schools of Textual Scholarship. Thus, in Ecdotica we have published essays by Paul Eggert, David C. Greetham, John Lavagnino, David Parker, Peter Robinson and Peter Shillingsburg, and others by Roger Chartier, Umberto Eco, Daniel Ferrer, Hans Walter Gabler, Roland Reuss or Cesare Segre. In order to keep moving in the same direction, we are wishing to consider submissions of articles and book reviews. The articles submitted should always have a broad scope, since they should address scholars from different fields. We particularly appreciate surveys and articles on the state of the art on specific issues or areas such as those that have been recently dealt with in this list or in lectures: Markup as theory of text What is the point of book history? Texts as cultural objects Earliest photographic facsimiles Uncovering the Scholarly Edition Copyright and Scholarship Evidence of Reading, Reading the Evidence We are prepared to consider the publication in Italian or Spanish of updated versions of outstanding essays originally written in English. We also appreciate books which are worth reviewing. Please send contributions and proposals to: Francisco Rico ilfhf@telefonica.net c/c to: ecdotica.dipital@unibo.it.

The result was an agreement to move forward with a workshop to encourage reflection on engineering, engineers, and technology by philosophers and engineers. The first Workshop on Philosophy & Engineering (WPE-2007) will be held in the Department of Philosophy, TUDelft, 29-31 October 2007 (Monday-Wednesday). Sessions will include talks by invited and selected speakers as well as a number of panels & special events. Extended abstracts (1-2 pages) are invited for submission in one of three tracks or demes: --Philosophy (Deme chair: Carl Mitcham) -- Philosophical Reflections of Practitioners (Deme chair: Billy V. Koen) -- Ethics (Deme co-chairs: Michael Davis & P. Aarne Vesilind) Submissions will be reviewed by the workshop committee. Those accepted for presentation at the workshop will be scheduled for 30-minutes talks (inclusive of Q&A) at the workshop. All accepted abstracts will published online on the workshop website (http://www-illigal.ge.uiuc.edu/wpe), and a printed volume will be assembled following the workshop in conjunction with a major publisher. Instructions: Extended abstracts should be submitted (in doc or pdf format) by 17 August 2007 to deg@uiuc.edu. Use ACM style files (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) in preparing manuscripts, and indicate choice of track/deme (philosophy, reflections, or ethics) in e-mail title line. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 17 September 2007. Confirmed Invited Speakers: Louis L.

The aims and objectives of criticism, exegesis and the history of ideas, on the one hand, and book history and historical bibliography on the other are not simply different. As tools for human communication, books carry meaning through their "text" as much as through their physical form, and the interaction between the two is the focus of this study. We invite scholars working on book history to look more deeply into how this interaction works. Topics that could be considered are physical form (mise-en-page, typography, format, paper type) and meaning, the relationship between history of the book and textual editing, "material" reception/reputation history, the sociology of the text and the idea of influence/intertextuality, para-text and the material book, the genetic text and the "biography" of an oeuvre, illustrations and dust jackets. Note that we welcome abstracts on any Book History related topic.

While this is not an eHumanities conference in the strict sense, many of its topics are very pertinent to our field. Best regards, Marc K=FCster -------------------- English Version (abridged): February 20th through 22nd, 2008, the ISKO conference will take place at Constance (Germany). The conference is organized by the German chapter of ISKO, the Library Service Centre Baden-W=FCrttemberg, and the Department of Information Science at the University of Konstanz. The general topic is: Repositories of knowledge in digital spaces Accessibility, sustainability, semantic interoperability The following sessions (and special topics) are planned: a. Ontologies, controlled vocabulary, topic maps, semantic web Ontologies, classifications, topic maps, and the semantic web seem to enhance the usefulness and the usability of online knowledge. The different communities of developers often don't know anything about each other although there might be chances of fruitful cooperation. Ontologies and classifications (UDC, DDC) are a instruments of knowlegde organization and universal views on knowledge structures. Topic maps offer new and user friendly strategies of retrieval. The semantic web seems to be split between promise and reality. Successful applications are therefore of interest. B. Social tagging Folksonomies and wikies can be perceived as a way of democratization of knowledge. Nevertheless the producers of this knowledge control the structure of knowledge which is a debatable point. Another one is, whether the sustainability of knowledge can be guaranteed under the circumstances of an anarchic process of knowledge creation. Political questions like these are of interest. C. Platforms of knowledge There are several platforms and environments, where online knowledge is used enriching and organizing it for new purposes. Therefore contributions for some of those platforms such as e-learning, e-scholarship, e-publishing are welcome. D. Applications and projects Developers of new applications and services are invited to share their knowledge with the participants of the conference. European projects like MINERVA, the European Digital Library etc. try to offer digitized knowledge and are good examples of the development into the direction of global stores of knowledge. All those interested in the above mentioned topics or those running relevant projects are invited to participate in and contribute to the conference. English contributions as well as talks or session proposals in other fields of knowledge organization and related matters are also welcome. Please send a proposal with title, author, address details and an abstract of up to one page length till November 30th, 2007 Organizer: Dr. J=F6rn Sieglerschmidt, . Members of the program committee are: Gerhard Budin (University of Vienna), Marc Wilhelm K=FCster (Polytechnic Worms), Rainer Kuhlen (University of Konstanz), H.

General The international Programme Committee invites submissions of abstracts of between 750 and 1500 words on any aspect of humanities computing and the digital humanities, broadly defined to encompass the common ground between information technology and issues in humanities research and teaching. As always, we welcome submissions in any area of the humanities, particularly interdisciplinary work. We especially encourage submissions on the current state of the art in humanities computing and the digital humanities, and on recent and expected future developments in the field. Suitable subjects for proposals include, for example, * text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning * creation, delivery and management of humanities digital resources * collaboration between libraries and scholars in the creation, delivery, and management of humanities digital resources * computer-based research and computing applications in all areas of literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship * use of computation in such areas as the arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, and other areas reflecting our cultural heritage * research issues such as: information design and modelling; the cultural impact of the new media * the role of digital humanities in academic curricula Proposals should report significant and substantive results and will include reference to pertinent work in the field (up to 10 items) as part of their critical assessment. The range of topics covered by humanities computing can also be consulted in the journal of the associations: Literary and Linguistic Computing (LLC), Oxford University Press. The deadline for submitting paper, session and poster proposals to the Programme Committee is November 18, 2007 (midnight Universal Time). All submissions will be refereed. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by February by 13, 2008. The electronic submission form will be available at the conference site from October 15th, 2007. See below for full details on submitting proposals. Proposals for (non-refereed, or vendor) demos and for pre-conference tutorials and workshops should be discussed directly with the local conference organizer as soon as possible. For more information on the conference in general please visit the conference web site, at http://www.ekl.oulu.fi/dh2008/. II. Types of Proposals Proposals to the Programme Committee may be of three types: (1) papers, (2) poster presentations and/or software demonstrations (poster/demos), and (3) sessions (either three-paper or panel sessions). The type of submission must be specified in the proposal. Proposals to the Programme Committee may be presented in English and any of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Conference presentations may be in these languages as well, and the Programme Committee encourages presenters to consider multilingual presentations (for example, a presentation in one language with accompanying slides or handouts accommodating speakers of another language). 1) Papers Proposals for papers (750-1500 words) should describe original work: either completed research which has given rise to substantial results, or the development of significant new methodologies, or rigorous theoretical, speculative or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals that concentrate on the development of new computing methodologies should make clear how the methodologies are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of the application of those methodologies in the humanities. Those that concentrate on a particular application in the humanities should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include some critical assessment of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include conclusions and references to important sources. Those describing the creation or use of digital resources should follow these guidelines as far as possible. 2) Poster Presentations and Software Demonstrations (Poster/Demos) Poster presentations may include computer technology and project demonstrations. The term poster/demo refers to the different possible combinations of printed and computer based presentations. The poster/demo sessions build on the recent trend of showcasing some of the most important and innovative work being done in humanities computing. By definition, poster presentations and project demonstrations are less formal and more interactive than a standard talk. They provide the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in detail with those most deeply interested in the same topic. Presenters will be provided with about two square meters of board space to display their work. They may also provide handouts with examples or more detailed information. Poster/demos will remain on display throughout the conference, but there will also be a separate conference session dedicated to them, when presenters should be prepared to explain their work and answer questions. Additional times may also be assigned for software or project demonstrations. There should be no difference in quality between poster/demo presentations and papers, and the format for proposals is the same for both. The same academic standards should apply in both cases, but posters/demos may be a more suitable way of presenting late-breaking results, or significant work in progress, including pedagogical applications. Both will be submitted to the same refereeing process. The choice between the two modes of presentation (poster/demo or paper) should depend on the most effective and informative way of communicating the scientific content of the proposal. As an acknowledgement of the special contribution of the posters and demonstrations to the conference, the Programme Committee will award a prize for the best poster. 3) Sessions Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either: Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750-1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session; Or A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 750-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. The deadline for session proposals is the same as for proposals for papers, i.e. November 18, 2007. III. Format of the Proposals All proposals must be submitted electronically using the on-line submission form, which will be available from October 15th, 2007 at: https://secure.digitalhumanities.org/conftool/ Those who registered as authors, reviewers or participants at the DH2007 conference are kindly asked to log on to their existing account (the one used for the DH2007 conference) rather than making up a new account. IV. Bursaries for Young Scholars A limited number of bursaries for young scholars will be made available to those presenting at the conference. If you wish to be considered for a bursary, please refer to information about the bursary schemes available from the Association for Computing in the Humanities (http://www.ach.org/ach_bursary/) and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (_http://www.allc.org/awards/bursary.htm_).

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. The ESSLLI 2009 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 21st annual Summer School in the broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer science and the cognitive sciences. The Summer School program is organized around the components. - Language and Computation - Language and Logic - Logic and Computation We also welcome proposals that do not exactly fit one of these there categories.

A project to produce a digital publication of these texts is currently in progress at King=C2=92s College London, in association with colleagues in Libya, Italy and the U.S.A. (http://ircyr.kcl.ac.uk/). This paper discusses the issues surrounding the markup of these texts in EpiDoc XML and the possibilities of associating archaeological data with the epigraphic material. ALL WELCOME The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

The demise of Eudora and subsequent bad behaviour of the software pushed me into the welcoming arms of Thunderbird, which I do like but whose ways are quite different from Eudora's. The relevant differences are in the redirection of mail and the managing of what Thunderbird calls "identities", which took me a while to figure out. My confident belief that I have done so may prove to be premature, so herewith is another apology in advance for continuing appearance of solipsistic behaviour or other varieties of turbulence.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:24:06 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Michael S. Mahoney Dear colleagues, The great historian of science, mathematics, technology and computing, Michael S. Mahoney, Professor of History at Princeton, died last night after a severe heart-attack while swimming. Mike, as everyone knew him, was one of those very few for whom I would have relinquished many of my years and the life that has come with them in order to be his student. I first met him through his writings while I was trying to figure out what relation humanities computing might have to the experimental sciences. I could see that both kinds of practice shared the epistemic use of equipment, so I figured there must be some relation worth knowing about. Characteristically Mike put versions of most of what he wrote online, so familiarity came easily, and some understanding followed. Then I buckled down and worked my way through papers such as the wonderful "Software as Science -- Science as Software" (2002), which I must have read 5 or 6 times at the first go. Then another historian of science, Jed Buchwald, an old friend and a former student of Mike's and Thomas Kuhn's at Princeton, invited me to give a paper at the Dibner Institute (MIT), at a conference on the history of recent science. This gave me a chance to try out the ideas I had formed, based largely on Mike's work, on the subject of humanities computing and the sciences. Subsequently, as the paper was working its way into print, Mike served as a reviewer, anonymous of course but immediately recognizable. Put as simply as I can, his commentary on that paper taught me how to do it right. Or, rather, as right as I am able. When I was asked to organize a year-long lecture series at King's London, which I entitled 'Digital Scholarship, Digital Culture', Mike was one of those I invited. His lecture, "The histories of computing(s)", along with the rest were later published in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews 30.2 (2005). Required reading for everyone in humanities computing, I'd say, and I would extend the invitation to all historians of any stripe. Faced with a hugely intractable subject for the intellectual historian's craft, Mike had the wit and wisdom to understand and the honesty to express what we cannot say about computing. "The major problem", he wrote in 'Issues in the history of computing', "is that we have lots of answers but very few questions, lots of stories but no history, lots of things to do but no sense of how to do them or in what order. Simply put, we don't yet know what the history of computing is really about." This from someone who knew the mathematical and technological bases of computing, how to trace the many strands of computing's development and (as Siegfried Zielinski has said) to look for the new in the old rather than the old in the new. "Hype hides history", he remarked in his King's lecture. He knew that questions were the scholar's gold and that they were being obscured by the promoter's (and the promoter's academic helper's) shameless blather. He did more than anyone else I know to show us how we might find that wealth. I cannot claim a long personal relationship. I wish I had been of the right age at the right time and place for that to happen. But I can hear the voice and see the face. I know more from him of what our kind can do. Thank you, Mike. Farewell.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:14:00 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Update to the William Blake Archive 24 July 2008 The William Blake Archive is pleased to announce the publication of electronic editions of Blake's illustrations to John Milton's "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity" and _Paradise Lost_ [go to Archive/Works/Drawings and Paintings/Water Color Drawings]. The six "Nativity Ode" water colors were acquired, and probably commissioned, by Thomas Butts in about 1815. This series is now in the Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The group of three _Paradise Lost_ water colors was acquired, and almost certainly commissioned, by John Linnell in 1822. The first two designs are now in the National Gallery of Victoria; the third is in the Fitzwilliam Museum. Both sets are presented in our Preview mode, one that provides all the features of the Archive except Image Search and Inote (our image annotation program). With this publication, the Archive now contains all nine of Blake's series of water colors illustrating Milton's poetry. Blake had created six "Nativity Ode" illustrations for the Rev. Joseph Thomas in 1809. Blake repeated the same basic designs, with many minor but intriguing variations, in the Butts set presented here. When sold at auction in 1852, the water colors were accompanied by the poem, or possibly only the passages illustrated, in manuscript. This text, possibly in Blake's hand, is now untraced. In comparison to the earlier series, the Butts water colors are more highly finished and show careful attention to interior modeling and detailed coloring. Blake produced twelve _Paradise Lost_ water colors for Thomas in 1807 and a similar set of twelve for Butts in 1808. It may have been Blake's intention to execute another set of twelve illustrations for Linnell, but only the three extant designs are known. They are based on the fourth, eighth, and eleventh illustrations in the Butts series. In comparison to these models, the Linnell water colors show an increased emphasis on dramatic lighting, particularly evident in the radiance surrounding Christ in the third design, "Michael Foretells the Crucifixion." The Job engravings, commissioned by Linnell in 1823, show a similarly masterful use of intense illumination. As always, the William Blake Archive is a free site, imposing no access restrictions and charging no subscription fees. The site is made possible by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the cooperation of the international array of libraries and museums that have generously given us permission to reproduce works from their collections in the Archive.

In-Reply-To: <48880F9A.3010108@mccarty.org.uk> Willard, Why can't it be both a a toy and a tool? I would argue that the essence of digital visualization is that it is a 'playful' research methodology. I've just come back from a conference on digital visualization in the arts. I'm quite taken with the idea of an artist's journals being considered a valuable part of the research process (and even part of the assessment of those in education). I'm sure the use of a 'toy' such as wordle would be considered a valid part of their research process. The use of the phrase 'both visually appealing and typographically interesting' raises the issue of aesthetics in digital tools, is there not more to the value of a tool producing an aesthetically pleasing result than simply surface gloss? Regards Martyn Martyn Jessop, Director of Teaching, Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London, 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Phone: 0207 848 2470 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2008 08:06:15 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: toys are us In-Reply-To: <48880F9A.3010108@mccarty.org.uk> Neven Jovanovic's note about Wordle immediately got me thinking about the Dictionary of Words in the Wild (dictionary.mcmaster.ca), which itself offers a standard wordcloud display. Wordclouds have been made since at least 1990-1, when I was experimenting with output from the Ratcliffe/Obershelp pattern-recognition algorithm in TACT (www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/chwp/mccarty/fig20.html, for an article which begins at www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/chwp/mccarty/) -- though of course one could argue its origins as far back in time as the concordance itself. Anyhow until the software for generating them became available, constructing a cloud was so laborious that the word "toy" hardly applies. At the time I constructed the cloud represented as fig20.html, I could only see the possibility of significance. There was only a curiousity until it could be done in the manner of play, quickly, experimentally, even thoughtlessly, trials discarded until something curious emerges. What I am stumbling toward is the idea that a "toy", not being serious, allows us to play, to fool around, having dismissed the censor to allow what might happen to emerge and to show itself in a world where it is so new that no one would fund it, or publish it, or tenure it. A "tool", in contrast, is seriously useful. We know what it is for before picking it up, or discover its usefulness immediately. But what if the job to be done doesn't yet exist? Old ideas, for which I suppose the most obvious source is Johan Huizinga's Homo Ludens. But not being serious, or rather seriously playful, they are easily forgotten. They are also anathema to the dogmatically practical amongst us. But here's a question. I would like to think that there's a reasonably direct relationship between between the speed of interactivity of our machines and the degree to which we play with them. Furthermore, I would very much like to think that our model of interaction has a quite profound effect on what we take computing to be, culturally and cognitively. I would like to be able to argue that much of what we hear and read people saying about computing, in the humanities and elsewhere, is rooted in the old master/slave rhetoric of commands and responses, otherwise known as "batch" computing. When -- as I think has been happening for quite some time -- command and response blur into a sort of resonance, then what happens to the Turing Test?

Digitization, like print in its time, corresponds to a quantum leap in access with the result that everything not digitized tends to be marginalized. Right now, the amount of stuff digitized is growing fast, but in a very chaotic way. As a result, ease of access coupled with incomplete, thin corpora and human laziness can temporarily produce the kinds of consequences that Evans brings forth. However, i do not believe it will last. On the contrary, I believe that hypertextual structures inherent to the Web structure will ultimately lead in the other direction, and perhaps too much so... The fragmentation of knowledge that John Donne decried (All the world reduced to atomies..) may well recur on a higher pitch. And exactly as bibliographies responded to Donne, indexing engines will try to rein in total cognitive dislocation. But this brings up another problem: the power (including political power) of an index like Google. As Cliff Lynch rightly argues, open access is not enough; open computation is also of the essence. And then the paradox brought to light by Evans will gradually fade away.

Willard, A colleague pointed out: Electronic Publication and the Narrowing of Science and Scholarship, James A. Evans, et. al., Science 321, 395 (2008), DOI: 10.1126/science.1150473 where the author concludes: > This research ironically intimates that one of > the chief values of print library research is poor > indexing.

Any suggestions building tools that "facilitate broader comparisons" and lead "researchers into the past?" Hope you are having a great day!

In-Reply-To: <488ACE29.4030305@mccarty.org.uk> Homo ludens is always a good concept and book to refer to, and the 'toy/tool' cycle is an important part of discovery. Boys and their toys. Fooling around with them. As for wordle, it is very cool, but there are limits to the cognitive pay-off. I created a representation of Othello that used a lemmatized version of the text (http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/89986/Othello). I was struck by the fact that the word 'Cassio' was much bigger than the other names. Checking the data revealed that Cassio is in fact the most often named character in the play. That's interesting. But the size of other words is misleading. The play is not about 'thou', 'will', or 'shall', and verbs like 'come' or 'make' are unremarkable in this play, while 'think' is not. The problem is that the size of the word is a function of its count in the document, without any reference to the question whether that count is relatively high or low. This works well enough with certain kinds of documents, e.g. State of the Union addresses, where readers bring a tacit framework of comparative reference to the words in front of them. If you wanted to put the quite brilliant design and visualization work of this application to serious scholarly use, playful or not, you would really need more sophisticated inputs. Some years ago Paul Rayson drew my attention to Dunning's log likelihood ratio as a very effective tool for comparing texts and identifying words that are disproportionately common or rare in text A compared with some text B. WordHoard, an application developed by Northwestern's Academic Technologies, makes effective use of this statistic, which has the great virtue of being easy to interpret. But log likelihood ratios --and other statistics --are very tedious things to read. If one could use a splendid visualization tool like wordle to foreground lexical phenomena against more robust and variable backgrounds that would be terrific. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 07:54:08 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Re: 22.142 toy or tool? Since sending the message above, my colleague Phil Burns in Academic Technologies succeeded in feeding Wordle with a lemma count in Othello that is based on Dunning's log likelihood ratio and basically compares the frequencies in the play with the frequencies in corpus. He did two versions of this, one with names and the other without names. You can see them at http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/90759/Othello_lemmata_(names_excluded)_vs._Shakespeare http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/90536/Othello_Lemmata_vs._Shakespeare_ To my mind, these are very striking visualizations and show that Wordle is a cool toy with a lot of tool potential.

The fundamental problem is that when computers present "relevant" articles they are basing the relevance on computational heuristics which are vastly impoverished compared to human judgements. The common methodology is to look for the same words as those used in the primary article or to look for similar sets of citations to those of the original article. Word matches by computer are typically morphologically-related matches. As the age of articles grows with time, language changes its meaning. Searching for "relevant" articles to a contemporary article using terminology invented recently will not find articles using different terminology and effectively could appear to have exhaustively found all relevant articles whereas in fact the concept was discovered and explored far earlier using different terminology. Citations go back as far as citation indexes do, but that isn't back to the beginning of the literature. I do not believe citation indexes are extending their coverage backwards into earlier and earlier years of publications. They may well be satisfied that they now have sufficient depth of coverage in years that earlier citations wouldn't improve their retrievals. Once again, the related articles could simply dry up as one goes backwards and reaches the digitization horizon. A good question is whether a resource such as JSTOR, dedicated to the past, could benefit from citation indexing or minimally act as a set of milestones for conventional citation indexing to reach in extending its coverage backwards in time. What can be done. First, I believe some new studies of paper-only research should be undertaken. The computational basis for "relevant" articles should be more formally studied with reference to whether the computational processes in use are equivalent or merely doing what is easy to compute, ignoring what can't be computed. For example, when researching I often identify more than related terminology. I look for authors, institutions, journals and library call numbers with multiple relevant works and then research those authors, institutions, journals and library call numbers themselves to see what's there. One can often discover a pivotal organization or individual who mentored generations of students following a theoretical approach that transcends the terminology. Or a journal that has published the bulk of the articles about a theory (and scanning journal tables of contents can restore the missing connectivity to non-terminologially related works). Library call numbers are an excellent way of discovering related works and most electronic catalogs allow you to scan the shelves electronically if you can't do it in person. Terminology is often invented to separate one's research from others. Matching terminology isn't proof of exhaustive coverage, as others looking at the same task may have likewise invented their own terminology. Knowing that terms are essentially from different schools of thought about a common problem is hard to determine through computer indexes alone.

I used log likelyhood to identify the interesting terms, and Z-score to discriminate the term usage between two corpora. The corpora, by the way, are writings of an Albanian writer (Ismail Kadare) before and after the fall of communism in Albania. My paper demonstrated how language changed in such a short period reflecting very quicky the big social upheaval of the period. At www.lissus.com/bss2008.png is the slide showing the differences between "Koncert [n=C3=AB fund t=C3=AB dimrit]" 'The Concert at the End of Winter= '=20 (1988) and "Lulet [e ftohta t=C3=AB marsit]" 'Spring Flowers, Spring Fros= t=20 [lit.

In a similar, if not precisely the same, vein, are, first : Bill Readings' /The University in Ruins/, in which he argues that the concept of "excellence" has been so universally applied on university campuses as to be hollowed out of any meaning and serves as a replacement for genuinely meaningful description. This accords, it seems to me, with Laughlin's warning ; and second, David Kirp's /Shakespeare, Einstein, and the Bottom Line/ which is a more business-model-friendly account of where we currently find ourselves and where we are going. I can't recall the book sufficiently to say whether or not Kirp intends his work to be a business-friendly model, but as I recall, it is. But it does offer some fairly clear-eyed (again, working from a weak and worn memory) description (I shy away from the term analysis, with the caveat that it might be analytical--I simply don't recall being struck by it as such) of the dangers to humanistic study when "the bottom line" is the primary concept applied to universities. Students become customers (and so many of us think seeing students as clients is bad) and departments are evaluated quite openly on their attractiveness to market-oriented (i.e. job seeking) "customers." Shudder. Is it worth reminding ourselves of Neil Postman's assertion in /Amusing Ourselves to Death/ that Huxley's /Brave New World/ was a more accurate prognostication that Orwell's /1984/ in large part because in the former the populace's oppression is self-invited? In short, how do we revolt?

Tag Cloud generators have, of course, been around for awhile and Wordle is just one of the latest iterations of them. While it can be fun to generate them, they only give you a very vague sense of the relative comparability of word frequency. You are certainly right that by controlling the input you can get slightly better results. However, what bothers me about most instances of tag clouds for linguistic visualisation is their lack of interactivity and flatformedness. When used in blogs, photo sites, social networking, etc. they almost always enable a form of navigation. (i.e. you click on the tag to see all photos/posts/people tagged as such) In most linguistic attempts to use them this interaction usually doesn't happen. There are exceptions to this: I remember Dave Beavan (from the SCOTS projects, http://www.scottishcorpus.ac.uk/) demonstrating a collocates tag cloud builder where when you clicked on a word you were given a tag cloud of that word's collocates, and could continue clicking through more of them. While just as fun, perhaps, that at least strikes me as useful. It still has the same limitations, of course, as any tag cloud in being an approximated visualisation. It seems silly to argue whether something is a 'toy' or a 'tool'. In my opinion, a tool is just something which allows you to accomplish a desired task. That tool can also be a toy, and the task can indeed be an event of playful ludic expression. Toys can be even more sophisticated than tools. Some toys are more suited to some tasks, of course, just like tools. Would it be true to say that if you aren't "playing with things" then maybe the things you are doing are the wrong things? -James -- Dr James Cummings, Research Technologies Service, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk From - Thu Jul 31 06:06:28 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 06:06:09 +0100 Received: from [128.112.131.112] (helo=Princeton.EDU ident=root) by f.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KOQMY-0003Tp-Ro for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK;

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:25:15 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, with a call for ideas and proposals Dear Colleagues, From time to time you may have seen publication announcements on Humanist for the British journal Interdisciplinary Science Reviews. Some time ago I was asked to take over the editorship of ISR and agreed on condition I could change its focus to the interrelations between the sciences and the humanities. As of this month I became Editor, have somewhat reformed the Editorial Board, appointed a Book Reviews Editor, devised a simple website (www.isr-journal.org) and commissioned a number of special issues. On the website is my inaugural editorial, which will give you a much better idea of what I have in mind. The first four issues under my hand are as follows: 1 (33.3) "Philosophy and engineering" (ed. Natasha McCarthy, Royal Academy of Engineering, London) 2 (33.4) "Neuroscience and aesthetics" (co-ed. Suzanne Nalbantian and Willard McCarty) 3 (34.1) "'Today and To-Morrow': Science and technology in the early 20th century" (ed. Brian Hurwitz, Max Saunders and Neil Vickers, King's College London) 4 (34.2) "Continuous Access to Cultural Heritage: Multidisciplinary collaborative research between computer science and heritage studies" (ed. Antal van den Bosch, Tilburg, Netherlands) In addition plans are afoot for a number of other issues, including "History and human nature", centred on a paper to be written by G. E. R. Lloyd, with invited responses from leading figures across the disciplines. Submissions of papers, ideas and proposals for issues of ISR are most welcome and should be directed to me. A call for papers on the theme of "poetries and sciences" (as I. A. Richards called his 1970 revision of the earlier book Science and Poetry) will be forthcoming soon.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:19:01 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: ISCOL 2008 is approaching It's time for the Israeli CL/NLP community to meet in Israel. Thus, the next Israeli Seminar on Computational Linguistics (ISCOL 2008) is underway. It will take place at Bar-Ilan University, on Thursday, September 11, 2008. We want this year's meeting to be about getting to know our growing community. We are especially interested in presentations from Masters students, and new PhDs. In addition to the typical "new results" type presentations, we plan to have an additional "introduction" session, which is intended for young and not so young researchers to introduce themselves to the community. This session will feature short (5-10 minutes) talks in which the presenter could talk about: * What he is interested in * What she is working on * His general research direction * Open Problems she might have * etc Overall, these talks should focus more on what one would like to do, rather than what one already did. We hope such format will facilitate interest, discussions, collaborations and a sense of community. We look forward to seeing you in Bar-Ilan. Please fill the pre-registration form (http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~yoavg/iscol08/prereg.html) to let us know if you plan to attend (yes), if you want to give a "new result" presentation (ok), and/or an "introductory" presentation (yes), as well as any comments you may have, so we could plan accordingly.

If you're not interested in the digital or the humanities, you're probably not a good fit. You will have the opportunity to explore and to learn, in a unique academic environment. This position is ideal for the humanist who has experience in digital humanities and who wants to develop their skills and experience. An increased, university-wide, focus on the digital humanities and digital libraries make this an especially exciting moment to join STG. The Research Programmer will be part of defining and implementing technology in humanities research agendas at Brown. While this is not an academic position, STG has close relationships with the academic part of the university, and STG staff often participate in classes and seminars. This position requires breadth of vision and experience across significant and disparate fields. No candidate can be equally deep in all areas, so we are not limited by formal credentials in any specific area; we are looking for a candidate who can excel in an interdisciplinary environment. You will thrive here if you can communicate and think across the gap. We will also consider interested applicants without a formal humanities background. Applicants with a degree in Library Science, Information Science, or Computer Science and an interest in the kinds of problems involved in digital humanities projects and data are encouraged to apply. Research Programmer - Humanities Scholarly Technology Group Brown University The Scholarly Technology Group (STG) at Brown University is seeking a staff member who will contribute technical skills and project oversight as part of STG's involvement in, and engagement with, faculty research projects in the digital humanities. STG projects range from document databases based on XML and XML tools, to experiments in collaboration, classification and online publication. STG projects are founded in high-level information design, and require current knowledge of web standards and tools. The Research Programmer is encouraged to have a relevant research agenda of their own, or to participate in the group's ongoing research into digital humanities topics. STG staff provide faculty projects with expertise in text encoding and metadata standards, accessibility, database design, web programming, digital project design, information design, documentation and grant-writing. We combine a strong background in the humanities and social sciences with a deep interest in the significance of digital technologies for scholarly communication. The Research Programmer works closely with faculty, STG staff and students to carry out digital humanities projects by performing project analysis, implementation, and management. Student workers are an integral part of of STG's team, and the Research Programmer will interact with them as manager and as collaborator. Since STG is a small group, this person can contribute at all levels: to recruit, plan, manage projects, write grant proposals, contribute to outreach activities, stay abreast of new methods and technologies and disseminate STG's work at conferences. Qualifications: * Minimum Bachelor's degree, advanced degree in the humanities desirable. Demonstrable technical skills. * Experience in digital humanities, digital libraries or comparable area. * Technical background in relevant areas, ideally: Web standards, HTML, CSS, XML, web technologies, metadata standards, text retrieval, software development * Knowledge of digital communications and collaboration, new media. * Strong analytical and problem solving skills * Ability to communicate STG work and results within the group and externally. STG is part of Computing and Information Services and provides advanced technology consulting to Brown humanities faculty primarily through large and small projects in support of scholarly work in the digital medium. We explore, extend and contribute to the critical new technologies that are transforming scholarly work and helping to maintain its longevity: data and metadata standards, XML publication tools, text encoding methods, database design, and accessibility standards. We have a strong relationship with the Brown University Library's Center for Digital Initiatives, and often work on joint projects. STG consists of three staff members: the Director, a Senior Research Programmer, and a Research Programmer. STG also employs several student programmers and designers and works with graduate students who provide content expertise.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:48:19 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: D-Lib Magazine Requests Your Input Greetings: Because U.S. Government funding of D-Lib Magazine ended in 2006, we at D-Lib Magazine have been looking for a new funding model to sustain the magazine over the long term, while continuing to publish it via open access -- that is, without charging readers subscription fees or authors publication fees. Late last year the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) donated the time of a publishing consultant to advise us on business models for D-Lib that, once established, could sustain the magazine over the long term. One of the consultant's suggestions was that D-Lib Magazine accept advertising as a means of raising money. To seek potential advertisers, however, we need to provide prospective clients with information that, up till now, we have not collected. Therefore, we have designed a survey that we hope will help us to gather that information. The survey is located at: http://research.zarca.com/k/SsSXRVsSPsPsPsP. Please take a few minutes to respond to this survey about D-Lib Magazine. Your responses will assist us in understanding our readership, improving content, and providing information to potential advertisers so we can continue disseminating D-Lib Magazine as an open access publication.

Technologies as well as novel ideas, experiments, and insights originating from multi-disciplinary viewpoints, including humanities, social sciences and mathematics are welcome. Important dates -------------------- * Submission deadline: Aug 08, 2008 * Notification of acceptance: Aug 20, 2008 * Camera-ready paper submission: Sep 05, 2008 * Workshop in Vienna: Sep 28, 2008 Description -------------------- The Internet constantly challenges our notions of place and space, and we believe that a cross-domain exploration of this process is needed to understand its evolution. Indeed one of the most important effects of the Internet has been to relax spatial and temporal constraints, contributing to the modern "space-time collapse", by allowing quasi instantaneous access to information, services, and physical resources. However, the multiplication of services and the democratisation of GPS based technologies introduce both the possibility and the need of a more location-oriented access to the virtual spaces that constitute the Internet. Moreover, the Internet familiarised us with new topologies which have become the model of many new forms of organization: the self- organizing rhizomic network of the World wide Web challenging hierarchies, P2P networks of devices that create dynamic semi-private subspaces and communities, new forms of proximity based on micro- blogging and social networks, as well sensor and controller nets establishing ubiquitous access, sensing and interaction. Furthermore, virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft or Second Life are attracting an increasing number of users, while second generation Web mapping technologies and virtual globes contribute to blur the boundaries between spatial representation and perception by providing mashup opportunities, photorealism, visual navigation, and three- dimensional representations. Topics of interest -------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Study and Representation of physical/virtual spaces and topologies * 3D and 4D Internet * Geo-located services and sensors * Internet based Sense of Place and Presence * Second generation Web mapping applications * Mobility and ubiquity * Visibility and privacy in the Internet of people and things Submissions -------------------- The following types of contributions are welcomed: * Short technical and position papers, up to 4 pages. * Full technical papers, up to 10 pages.

Looking back over the early issues, I found it interesting to see how information and instructional technologies in academe have changed and, I hope, progressed over the years. Some of the items in the very first issue (July 1993) included the following: A quote from a WIRED magazine article announced "an intriguing new tool for managing the cornucopia of information linked to the Internet." The tool was the World Wide Web. There was information on how to receive IBM publications -- via your fax machine. Answers to National Endowment for the Humanities grant questions could now be emailed to you. Readers were given a telephone number and postal address, but no email address, to request the service. A new publication, CD-ROM TODAY, was announced with the speculation that it "may fill the niche that the now-defunct MPC WORLD had intended to fill." CD-ROM TODAY ceased publication in 1996. The recommended reading was Michael Schrage's SHARED MINDS which introduced the concept of collaborative environments. (Haven't read it yet?

STAKEHOLDERS IN E-LEARNING SUCCESS In "Who Is Responsible for E-Learning Success in Higher Education? A Stakeholders' Analysis" (by Nicole Wagner, Khaled Hassanein, and Milena Head, JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY, vol. 11, no. 3 2008, pp. 26-36), the stakeholder groups that determine the success of e-learning are identified along with their needs and responsibilities. Stakeholder groups include students, instructors, educational institutions, content providers, technology providers, accreditation bodies, and employers. The authors provide a Stakeholders' Responsibility Matrix to clarify the interdependencies of these groups. The paper is available at http://www.ifets.info/journals/11_3/3.pdf The Journal of Educational Technology & Society [ISSN 1436-4522]is a peer-reviewed, quarterly publication that "seeks academic articles on the issues affecting the developers of educational systems and educators who implement and manage such systems."

Mellon Foundation has recently released its 2007 Annual Report. One of the essays in the document, "Scholarly Publishing Initiatives," by Donald J. Waters and Joseph S. Meisel, reports on two scholarly publishing initiatives that the Foundation funded: "one aimed at increasing the capacity of university presses to publish first books by junior scholars in fields where publication opportunities have become constrained, the other at strengthening the substantive relationship between university presses and their home institutions." The essay is available at http://www.mellon.org/news_publications/annual-reports-essays/presidents-essays/scholarly-publishing-initiatives/ The complete annual report is available at http://www.mellon.org/news_publications/annual-reports-essays/annual-reports See also: "Mellon Foundation Assesses the State of Scholarly Publishing" By Jennifer Howard THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, July 28, 2008 http://chronicle.com/daily/2008/07/3986n.htm The Chronicle of Higher Education [ISSN 0009-5982] is published weekly by The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inc., 1255 Twenty-third Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037 USA; tel: 202-466-1000; fax: 202-452-1033; Web: http://chronicle.com/ ...................................................................... WEB SCIENCE "[T]he Web influences the world, and the world influences the Web. So complex is the Web, with tens of billions of pages on the 'surface Web' and hundreds of billions of documents in the 'deep Web', and so interrelated with society (especially in the rich democracies) has it become, that its health is a matter of real importance." In "Web Science" (ALT ONLINE NEWSLETTER, Issue 12, May 2008), Kieron O'Hara and Wendy Hall present their case for a new area of research -- Web Science. Such a discipline would encompass not only the fields of computer science, mathematics, artificial intelligence, and engineering, but also psychology, sociology, biology, economics, and law. The authors believe that the field of learning technology would benefit from and contribute to Web Science.

It is presented by the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) on behalf of its constituent organizations: the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC), the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Society for Digital Humanities/Soci=E9t=E9 pour l'=E9tude des m=E9= dias interactifs (SDH/SEMI). The Award is named after Roberto Busa, SJ, who is regarded by many as the founder of the field of humanities computing. The first award was given to Father Busa himself in 1998. Subsequent recipients have been: * Emeritus Professor John Burrows (2001), who helped to shape the application of statistical methods to the analysis of textual style and bridged the gap between traditional literary criticism and omputer-aided stylistics; * Emeritus Professor Susan Hockey (2004), for her contribution to the establishment of the field of Humanities Computing, and for her work on computers and text; * Professor Dr. Wilhelm Ott (2007), creator of TUSTEP, director of the Computing Center of the University of Tuebingen, and host of 90 seminars over several decades in the Kolloquium uber die Anwendung der Elektronischen Datenverarbeitung in den Geisteswissenschaften . The next Busa Award will be given at the Digital Humanities 2010 conference, which will be held at King's College London, England. The Award Committee invites nominations for this award. Nominations may be made by anyone with an interest in humanities computing and neither nominee nor nominator need be a member of ACH, ALLC or SDH/SEMI. Nominators should give an account of the nominee's work and the reasons it is felt to be an outstanding contribution to the field.

Where in the world, you might ask? I recall one time when I gave more or less the same warning and received, almost immediately, a note from an old friend and Humanist ab ovo, who wrote (I paraphrase), "What do you mean, 'out of the reach of e-mail'? This from a coffee house in Beirut!" But I mean it this time. Beirut is *very* well connected in comparison to the north-west corner of Australia. My advice is to watch carefully for the emergence of any posting you make during this time. If you don't see it by 29 August please let me know and resend. I will be potentially well connected after 20 August but not at home until 15 September so cannot predict how often circumstances will allow me to use my connectivity. In will do my best. All the best.

I'm happy to say that the volume is now scheduled to be published by Polity Press in late February, 2009. Here's the blurb: =3D=3D This is the first textbook on the central ethica= l issues of digital media, ranging from computers and games to the Internet and mobile phones. It is also the first book of its kind to consider these issues from a global perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. It further utilizes examples from around the world, such as the publication of "the Mohammed Cartoons"; diverse understandings what "privacy" means in Facebook or MySpace; why pirating CDs and DVDs may be justified in developing countries; and culturally-variable perspectives on sexuality and what counts as "pornography." Readers and students thus acquire a global perspective on the central ethical issues of digital media, including privacy, copyright, pornography and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online. The book is designed for use across disciplines =C3= =AF=C2=BD=C2=AD media and communication studies, computer science and informatics, as well as philosophy. It is up-to-date, accessible and student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions that foster careful reflection, writing, and discussion into these issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter further includes additional resources and suggestions for further research and writing. =3D=3D There will also be a website affiliated with the text where faculty and students will be able to contribute examples, additional exercises, etc. - and I'm also looking forward to 2.0, with expanded material on mobile phones (working on that now). Two things: 1) I'm happy to share a pre-publication version of the book (with the usual caveats re. no copying, citation, or distribution without permission) with colleagues who may be interested in having a look at the text - ideally, with a view towards "road-testing" one or two of the chapters and its exercises in their own teaching. If you would like to see this version of the book, please let me know offlist and I'll happily send the PDF your way. 2) I've also been asked by the publisher to develop a list of colleagues who might be interested in adopting the book in their teaching. Again, if anyone on this list is interested in reviewing the pre-publication version with this possibility in mind, I'd be happy to send the PDF along. Of course, if you can think of anyone else who might be interested in reviewing and possibly adopting the text, please let me know. All best wishes in the meantime, - charles ess Distinguished Research Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies Center Drury University Springfield, MO 65802 USA --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:47:33 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Applied Ontology Special Issue Special Issue Applied Ontology out now: Ontological Foundations of Conceptual Modelling Guest-edited by Giancarlo Guizzardi and Terry Halpin The objective of this issue is to collect innovative and high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by formal ontology, philosophical logics, cognitive sciences and linguistics to the foundations of conceptual modeling. The issue should be of interest to several academic communities, including primarily the communities of applied ontology and conceptual modeling, but also the ones of database and information systems design, knowledge engineering, semantic interoperability and information integration, enterprise modeling, agent and object orientation, software engineering (in particular domain and requirements engineering), natural-language processing, business rules and model-driven engineering.

It focuses on two broad kinds of content-based research activities: ontological analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing useful computational models. Applied Ontology (ISSN 1570-5838) will be published in 1 volume of 4 issues in 2009 (Volume 4). Institutional subscription (print and online): =C2=80443 / US$640 (including postage and handling).

The first DHCS Colloquium in 2006 (http://dhcs2006.uchicago.edu/) examined the challenges and opportunities posed by the "million books" digitization projects. The second DHCS Colloquium in 2007 (http://dhcs.northwestern.edu/ ) focused on searching and querying as both tools and methodologies. The theme of the third Chicago DHCS Colloquium is "Making Sense" - an exploration of how meaning is created and apprehended at the transition from the digital to the analog. We invite submissions from scholars and researchers on all topics that intersect current theory and practice in the humanities and computer science. Sponsored by the Humanities Division, the Computation Institute, NSIT Academic Technologies and the University Library at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and the College of Science and Letters at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Liuzza (English) and Maura K. Lafferty (Classics). The workshop is intended to be more a class than a conference; participants will be invited to share both their successes and frustrations, and to work together towards developing better professional skills for textual and paleographical work in Medieval Studies. Last year's workshop focused on the problems of editing texts characterized by constant change in pre-print culture; this year's workshop will explore the theme of violence, deliberate or otherwise, against texts. Texts are inextricably bound to their material context, and material damage can have significant implications both for the reading of a text and for our understanding of its reception and use. Erasures and other deletions call attention to themselves, often dramatically, insisting on the presence of their absence, constantly reminding the reader to remember to forget what has been altered or removed. Damage and defacement can convey a powerful message; they may tell us just as much about reading practices, ownership (of individual books and of the meaning of the text itself), claims of authority, assertions of power, the circulation of texts, and the interactions of textual communities as more positive marks like glosses, annotations, and colophons. Apart from damage through accident or neglect, which may leave incomplete or illegible fragments whose original status must be reconstructed, many manuscripts have erasures or corrections by contemporary or later scribes; words are deleted, names erased, text excised or cancelled. Violence can be done in damnatio memoriae; equally severe damage can result from a modern curator's efforts to preserve or recover faded readings. Some books fall apart from overuse; others are dismembered as being worthless. Texts can also be violated in ways that are less damaging to their physical material, but equally shattering: rewritings can fundamentally alter the text's meaning, sections can be extracted and placed in new contexts, contradictory texts can be bound together, commentary that attacks or distorts the text can be copied alongside it, and so on. Arguably, even modern printed critical editions imposes this sort of violence on the texts they hope to preserve. How should we regard these many forms of violent engagement with texts? Is an act of textual violence always a violation, the destruction of a privileged original, a gap that must be repaired? Or can editors and readers learn to regard the violence itself as an element of the text's identity as a cultural and social construct? How can we read such violence to understand the later use, appropriation, or abuse of the text, and its new role(s) in a changing world? We invite papers from scholars in all fields concerned with textual editing, manuscript studies, and epigraphy, especially those who are working on damaged, distorted, or otherwise traumatized texts; we hope to include both scholars working on the recovery of damaged or decayed readings and those who are examining the cultural implications of these acts of textual trauma. The workshop is open to scholars and students at any rank who are engaged in manuscript research. Individual 90-minute sessions will be devoted to each project; participants will introduce their text and its context, discuss their approach to working with this material, and exchange ideas and information with other participants. We particularly invite works in progress, unusual manuscript problems, practical difficulties, and new or experimental models for studying or representing manuscript texts. Presenters will receive a stipend of $500 for their participation. The deadline for applications is October 1, 2008. Applicants are asked to submit a current CV and a two-page letter describing their project to Roy M. Liuzza, Department of English, U of Tennessee, 301 McClung Tower, Knoxville, TN 37996-0430, or via email to . The workshop is also open to scholars and students who do not wish to present their work but may be interested in learning more about manuscript studies. Non-presenters will not receive a stipend, but are encouraged to participate fully in discussions and other activities. Those wishing to attend should visit or contact Roy Liuzza for more information.

This workshop is aimed at digital humanities scholars, computer scientists working on humanities applications, library information professionals, and others who are involved in humanities and social science research using large digital datasets. The session will be hosted by IBM computer scientists who will conduct a hands-on session describing how high performance computing systems like IBM=C2=92s World Community Grid can be used for humanities research. The workshop is intended to be much more than just a high-level introduction. There will be numerous technical demonstrations and opportunities for participants to discuss potential HPC projects. Topics will include: how to parallelize your code; useful tools and utilities; data storage and access; and a technical overview of the World Community Grid architecture. Brett Bobley and Peter Losin from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities have been invited to discuss some of the NEH's grant opportunities for humanities projects involving high performance computing. If attendees are already involved in projects that involve heavy computation, they are encouraged to bring sample code, data, and outputs so that they can speak with IBM scientists about potential next steps for taking advantage of high performance computing. While the demonstrations will be using the World Community Grid, our hope is that attendees will learn valuable information that could also be applied to other HPC platforms. The workshop will be held from 10 AM =C2=96 3 PM on October 6, 2008 at th= e IBM Institute for Electronic Government at 1301 K Street, NW, Washington, DC. To register, please contact Sherry Swick, sherry@us.ibm.com. Available spaces will be filled on a first-come, first served basis. */More about the World Community Grid/* World Community Grid, a philanthropic initiative developed by the IBM Corporation, offers researchers a unique opportunity to accelerate the pace of their work while also mobilizing people worldwide around critical social issues. Launched by IBM in November 2004, World Community Grid uses grid technology to harness the plentiful, underutilized resource of PCs and laptops to support humanitarian research. Today, volunteers around the globe have donated the computational power of close to 1 million PCs; World Community Grid is harnessing their power when the computers are on but not in use to help advance promising research. Results on critical health issues have already been achieved, demonstrating World Community Grid=C2=92s potential to make significant inroads on a great range of fut= ure projects that can benefit the world. World Community Grid is available free-of-charge only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of IBM=C2=92s commitment to advancing human welfare, all results must be published in the public domain and made public to the global research community. Current research partners include The Scripps Research Institute, The University of Texas Medical Branch, New York University, University of Washingon, French Muscular Dystrophy Association, the University of Cape Town and The Ontario Cancer Institute.

Call for papers ? Rethinking Technology Transfer projects: Culture and Communicating Knowledge in Developing Regions. Culture and knowledge communication practices underlie important challenges that face those who work in, and with, developing regions and technology. The tacit understandings inherent in these practices also deal with the problems encountered with innovation and implementation of ICT and related enabling technologies involving difficult physical environments, limited technological infrastructure and social gaps, misunderstandings and conflicts. This issue intends to ask important questions about the connection between knowledge and communication when culture operates as a medium and not just as an object. This tension between knowledge and culture manifests itself in the communication between the different stakeholders, their priorities and interpretive frames. * What is persuasive and invasive about technology and how is the local culture changed by its introduction? * How are local stakeholders considered in the conception and planning of technology transfer projects? * What cultural problems arise in communicating knowledge about technology and using technology to communicate knowledge in developing regions? * How are technological knowledge and situational knowledge communicated by the international, governmental and local stakeholders in developing world projects? * How and why do current development methods enhance or impede knowledge communication? * To what extent can/should technology transfer include diffusion of innovations versus co-construction of innovation? How do culture and knowledge communication affect it? Contributions are sought from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary frames, as well as from those with practical and/or theoretical insights.

Dear Humanist list members, is anyone of you aware of a project (either active or in development) that allows users to simultaneously access various types of information about a specific place (e.g., a city), such as its history, architecture, literary and artistic movements, etc., using location-aware mobile devices? This would not be a commercial tool such as Yahoo=C2=92s or Google=C2=92s mobile sites that offer restaurant guide= s and other services, but would instead function as a cultural guide that would enable users to both serendipitously and intentionally discover how various disciplines intersect at a particular location.

The conference will bring together students and scholars to explore current theory and applications of quantitative methods and information technology in the field of archaeology. CAA members come from a diverse range of disciplines, including archaeology, anthropology, art and architectural history, computer science, geography, geomatics, historic preservation, museum studies, and urban history. For full information, please see the conference web site at www.caa2009.org . The annual meetings of CAA are normally devoted to topics such as: agent-based models, bioarchaeology, CIDOC and other digital standards, databases, 3D data capture and modeling, data management systems and other field applications, GIS, predictive modeling, open source software in archaeology, photogrammetry and imaging, prospection and remote sensing, quantitative methods, high precision surveying, virtual museums, and virtual reality. Submissions of proposals for sessions, round tables, and workshops will be due by *October 15, 2008*. The online submission system, which will be posted at http://www.caa2009.org/PapersCall.cfm, will open September 3, 2008. Submitters will be notified of the results by mid-November, when the call for individual papers and posters will be open. Abstracts for individual papers and posters will be due by *December 15, 2008*. Sessions Session organizers should provide a session invitation of 300 to 500 words relating to a well-defined theme. You should define the topic, explain its importance, and suggest the specific themes or issues that might be appropriately addressed by your contributors. A session can consist of two or three 90-minute blocks of time punctuated by a 15-minute break. It typically consists of six, but no more than nine, presentations and should include time for debate and discussion as well as an introduction and a wrap-up. Session proposals may include one or more abstracts of papers that will be presented, but will normally leave open the possibility for members of CAA to apply to participate in the proposed session. All session proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for their quality and relevance. This review will take into account any paper abstracts you include with your session proposal. Once a proposal has been accepted, it is placed on the conference web page, and an invitation is issued for additional paper abstracts to be submitted to your session. The session organizer will advise the Scientific Committee on which papers should be accepted or rejected for their session. The organizer will also be responsible for scheduling the order of presentations, presiding over the session, and for nominating two or three of the papers for publication in the printed acts of the conference. Round Tables and Workshops Round table and workshop organizers should provide an invitation of 300 to 500 words introducing the discussion topic. A /round table/ proposal includes a list of four to eight panel members (names and affiliations) from at least two different countries. It should address a topic of general interest to the CAA community. The round table organizer must ensure that the panel members agree to attend the conference and take part in the round table. A round table organizer is the chairperson and acts as moderator. A time slot of 90 minutes will be allocated to each round table discussion. All round table proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for their quality and relevance. A /workshop/ typically consists of a software and/or hardware demonstration in which the audience can actively participate. The proposal must include information on the duration (not to exceed 135 minutes), experience level, and prerequisites of the targeted audience as well as the maximum number of participants. Along with the proposal, a list of the presenters and their affiliations is required. -- Bernard Frischer, Director IATH University of Virginia www.iath.virginia.edu office tel. +1-434-924-4873 (Alderman Library) office tel. +1-434-243-4080 (10th and Market) home tel. +1-434-971-1435 US cell: +1-310-266-0183 --------------------------------- Italian cell: +39-349-473-6590 Rome tel.: +39-06-537-3951 --------------------------------- Postal address: IATH 100 10th Street, NE, Suite 103 Charlottesville, VA 22902 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:31:28 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering 2009 World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE 2009) March 31 - April 2, 2009 Los Angeles/Anaheim, USA http://world-research-institutes.org/conferences/CSIE/2009 CALL FOR PAPERS & EXPO The Los Angeles/Anaheim area is known for its many renowned attractions, such as Disneyland, Universal Studios and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I expect that in the age of large corpora, mining tools will soon have a place on the scholar's workbench next to the established concordancing tools, but this is not the case yet. In the Classics, as far as I am aware, nothing has been published in this area so far. Yet some of the field's notorious Big Questions To Be Avoided (the relative chronology of early epic poetry; authorship in Lysias or the Hippocratic corpus; women's language; ..) would seem to lend themselves to experiments in text mining. Will such experiments offer literary scholars results they actually consider interesting or meaningful? Are we perhaps better off studying documentary corpora or scientific texts? In my paper I will apply the open-source mining software Philomine developed at the University of Chicago to the Perseus Greek texts and discuss some of these Big Questions and possible future avenues. ==================== -- Dr Gabriel BODARD (Epigrapher & Digital Classicist) Centre for Computing in the Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Email: gabriel.bodard@kcl.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 1388 Fax: +44 (0)20 7848 2980 http://www.digitalclassicist.org/ http://www.currentepigraphy.org/ From - Thu Aug 28 00:05:55 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:05:52 +0100 Received: from postoffice03.princeton.edu ([128.112.131.174] helo=Princeton.EDU) by h.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KYU5F-0002F1-Uh for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK;

We tried to begin to build such an infrastructure locally, in cooperation with the local tourism commission, but it required more personnel and more resources than we could afford. (It also requires pushing away all the usual tourism and communications paradigms, which seek to flatten everything into something like ad copy.) We felt like south Louisiana was a good place to try it out, since so little of the landscape is actually explained / described anywhere. I look forward to trying it again at some point, when the IT infrastructures have either converged a bit more or established some cross-platform conventions. Right now, the dotted landscape is cross-cut with information silos. I have some of the docs that I wrote in developing the idea up on my website -- give me a few days for it to be back on- line -- I had to wait for my provider to backgrade to Ruby 1.8.6 so my Rails app would work. -- John Laudun Department of English University of Louisiana - Lafayette johnlaudun@gmail.com http://johnlaudun.org/ --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:52:37 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: RE: 22.177 location-based information retrieval with=20 mobile devices? Dear Markus Wust: You may want to take a look at the Hypercities project (http://www.hypercities.com/) being developed here at UCLA with funding from the MacArthur Foundation (Digital Media and Learning). Integration with location-aware mobile devices is on the "to-do" list, scheduled for next summer. Currently, you can, from a web-browser, search on a location in a featured city and find content related to that place filtered by time and located on historical maps from various periods. --zoe Zoe Borovsky UCLA From - Fri Aug 29 00:30:20 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:17:58 +0100 Received: from postoffice04.princeton.edu ([128.112.131.112] helo=Princeton.EDU ident=root) by e.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KYpoS-00057S-Tm for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK;

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:03:51 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Institute on Innovation in Training and Teaching Drexel University, a leader in technology-infused education, is sponsoring a two-day Institute on Innovation in Training and Teaching on its University City campus in Philadelphia. http://www.drexel.edu/irt/innovation/ The Institute will be held on: September 11 and 12, 2008. Sponsored by The Office of Information Resources and Technology (IRT), the Institute will provide courses for trainers and educators interested in moving their instruction online. Classes will meet the needs of those just beginning to move to online content delivery as well as experienced teachers and trainers who seek instruction in advanced media integration. Available Sessions The Institute will offer eight three-hour courses on topics of interest to the corporate training sector and K-20 education and lifelong learning professionals. Courses will highlight a wide variety of tools available for producing creative, quality online materials. Moving Your Course or Training Program to Hybrid Format or Online=C2=97Ho= w to Get Started Presenters: Kristen Betts, Krystle Adkins, and Mike Scheuermann This course will outline a step-by-step framework for transitioning from face-to-face to hybrid or online course instruction. Topics will include: online statistics, accreditation, converting materials to electronic format, best practices in course design, effective use of Learning Management System tools and structures, student engagement, retention strategies, evaluation, and pedagogical considerations in the online environment. Converting, Distributing, and Integrating Rich Media in Course Developmen= t Presenters: John Morris and Chad Kealey What is rich media? What is encoding? How can rich media be integrated into your course to enhance instruction? This course will introduce a variety of concepts in rich media, including file formats, file sizes, quality, lossiness, platform considerations, equipment, and frame rates, and discuss how rich media can be used to create a more engaging learning environment. Pedagogical Uses of Rich Media to Effectively Enhance Learning Presenter: John Morris How can audio and video be used to enhance the online or hybrid classroom? This course will focus on using rich media more effectively to deliver lecture material, provide feedback on student work, and build online community through LMS collaboration tools. Best practices will also be considered, including file types, equipment, and playback mechanisms. A unit on learning styles and accessibility, especially as they apply to web-based instruction, will conclude the course. Assessment and Evaluation Utilizing Online Elements and Technologies Presenters: Stephen Chestnut, Rich Varenas, Julie Allmayer, and Amy Lynch How can student performance be evaluated in an online course? The LMS provides a number of tools to assess student work, and there are several stand-alone technologies to assist faculty in evaluating performance and providing feedback to students. This course will discuss the importance of assessment and evaluation in online course delivery, and identify which tools are the most effective. Building Community in Hybrid and Online Courses Presenters: Kristen Betts and Mike Scheuermann Community-building is a crucial part of any successful online course. This course will address the use of LMS collaboration tools, such as discussion, chat, and group assignments, to foster student-student and student-faculty relationships. The pros and cons of each tool will be discussed from a technical as well as a pedagogical perspective. Social Networking as a Component of the Instructional Enterprise Presenters: Abigail Maley, Scott Beadenkopf, Brett Cohen, Paul Evangelista, and Brenda Pretko Web 2.0 technologies are changing how we use the web, profoundly affecting how we interact with each other and share information. How can an enterprise adapt these technologies to complement current instructional methodologies? Examples of how universities are incorporating social networking into their curricula will be presented. A number of platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Pronto will be highlighted. Evaluating CMS/LMSs for Instructional Delivery and Community Building Presenters: Alan Hecht, Rich Varenas, Stephen Chestnut, and Jeffrey Berma= n Although Blackboard Vista (formerly WebCT) and Blackboard are the predominant learning management systems used at Drexel, Drexel IRT has investigated two open-source products, Sakai and Moodle. This course will offer a comparison of these products in a variety of areas, including content authoring, delivery interface, assessment creation, and administration tools, and discuss the process by which these products were evaluated. Ensuring Access For All -- Creating Online Content for Users with Special Needs Presenter: Dan Allen The advent of the World Wide Web brought with it the potential to revolutionize the lives of people with disabilities. Imagine the person confined to a wheel chair being able to shop for groceries without leaving the house. Imagine the blind or deaf student being able to complete a college degree online. But these possibilities can only be realized if the Web is made accessible to people with disabilities. In the first part of this course we will review the types of disabilities users might have, and the challenges they face when accessing the Web. The second part of the course will be devoted to discussing various solutions and demonstrating specific strategies and techniques for ensuring accessibility. Apologies for cross-posting. Henry C.

We can have a limited number of research assistantships for advanced students of the languages who can work for the project from their home institutions. We particularly encourage students who can use the analyses that they produce to support research projects of their own. * We also encourage classes of Greek and Latin to contribute as well. Creating the syntactic analyses provides a new way to address the traditional task of parsing Greek and Latin. Your class work can then contribute to a foundational new resource for the study of Greek and Latin - both courses as a whole and individual contributors are acknowledged in the published data. * Students and faculty interested in conducting their own original research based on treebank data will have the option to submit their work for editorial review to have it published as part of the emerging Scaife Digital Library. To contribute, please contact David Bamman (david.bamman@tufts.edu) or Gregory Crane (gregory.crane@tufts.edu). http://nlp.perseus.tufts.edu/syntax/treebank/ -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities http://www.rch.uky.edu Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments http://www.vis.uky.edu dot.porter@gmail.com 859-257-1257 x.82115 *************************************** From - Sun Aug 31 12:59:14 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 01:48:55 +0100 Received: from postoffice03.princeton.edu ([128.112.131.174] helo=Princeton.EDU) by g.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KZb7d-0006X1-Mc for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK;

The vocabulary of this wished-for device has to be suitable for scholarly purposes, not simply for finding taxis and booking hotel rooms.

His is a very basic Russian-English model but it's easy to use and has something like 400,000 words. I believe his comes with the American Heritage Dictionary, others have other dictionaries (New Oxford Dictionary, for example); I'm not certain what the overlap is between the words in the English dictionary and the words that are actually available for translation, so it isn't clear whether the dictionary included is an indication of the scholarly suitability of the translation tool itself. I can't say anything about the quality of the tools on this site generally, but it's a place to start.

I=C2=92ve just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two thing= s: - It displays academics around the world in a =C2=91tree=C2=92 f= ormat, according to what university/department they are affiliated with. - It enables an academic to have an easy-to-maintain academic webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here: http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice My hope for the site is that it will list every academic =C2=96 Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display where they are working. I also hope people will use the site to keep track of what people in their field are working on. I=C2=92m trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you hav= e a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department. (Or add your department/university to the tree if it is not there already; it is easy to add a university or department by clicking on the arrows). And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.

In brief, I am confident there is no such handheld device. I have spent a lifetime teaching, learning, and using languages. Languages don't just translate one-word-for-one-word: just think of all the very different meanings any one English word or spelling can have, depending on the context. I am on a language teachers' "list", and it seems most of the younger participants don't even own a good printed dictionary, which gives you the various meanings of a word in the target language, with examples of the context of each meaning. These teachers depend on the online pseudo-dictionaries, where you enter one English word and you get back one foreign word for it, which has little chance of being the correct one for the context in question. Surely your friend is familiar with good printed dictionaries, such as Collins German-English / English-German Dictionary; something like that is what you need to read German; I have seen nothing like it on the internet, and surely no hand-held device can suffice; -- not even for one language, let alone several.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:25:10 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: low-hanging and beyond reach? Recently I was asked by a group of curious academics what was easy to do with computing in the humanities and what was not. It occurred to me to describe the situation with the metaphor of low-hanging fruit and that which is out of reach, requiring that the hungry person construct a ladder to reach. But I also realised that the tree is a rather strange one, i.e. that the metaphor breaks down when one considers the situation in time. Text once seemed the low-hanging fruit, conveniently already encoded to a significant degree, whereas images were too high to justify the effort. Now the situation seems almost reversed. Perhaps one needs to imagine several trees -- a text-tree, an image-tree etc. Perhaps Tantalus' situation is, in the end, our own. It seems clear to me that our hunger is boundless and that the trees are infinitely high. A shift of metaphor. In his beautiful book, A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down (2005), Robert Laughlin quotes Richard Feynman (p. 127), who asks of physics, "What is the future of this adventure?" Feynman thinks that there must be an end to the search for and discovery of new laws. The situation, he points out, simply cannot continue; "it will become boring that there are so many levels one underneath the other". Thomas Kuhn's answer, which seems the right one to me, involves talking about a paradigm-shift. We've done that term to death in the popular press and, scandalously, in the academic one as well, but again it seems to me that the vision of exhaustion must be wrong. So my question: what's our paradigm- (or perhaps better, metaphor-) shift? Comments?

What she needs is merely a collection of highly compact dictionaries of the Collins Gem variety rather than, say, of the kind represented by the OED, OLD or LSJ. The infamous problems of machine-translation are irrelevant, since she's translating herself as she reads through various scholarly articles and needs a bit of help. One additional condition, imposed by her habits and nature, is that the device should be, if at all possible, not a generic handheld but a dedicated thing, for translation only. She'd only get confused by a general-purpose device. Any additional suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, Willard--- no doubt you've noticed that Allen Renear likes the low-hanging-fruit metaphor. But the last time I heard him use it he had a variant: "This fruit isn't low-hanging, it's just lying around on the ground!" There's a passage I like about working intellectually with metaphors to the point of breakdown from a letter of William James to Thomas Davidson from 1898--- I think it's actually better if you don't know the passage of James's that he's defending: If you had the slightest spark of scientific imagination you would see that the mother-sea is of a glutinous consistency, and when she strains off portions of her being through the dome of many-colored glass, they stick so tenaciously that she must shake herself hard to get rid of them. Then, as there is no action without reaction, the shake is felt by both members, and remains registered in the mother-sea, like a "stub" in a check book, preserving memory of the transaction. These stubs form the basis of the immortal account, which we begin when the prismatic dome is shattered. These matters, you see, are ultra simple, and would be revealed to you if you had a more humble and teachable heart. Your whole lot of idle and captious questions proceed so obviously from intellectual pride, and are so empty of all true desire for instruction that I will not pretend to reply to them at all. I am glad that my poor little book took them out of you, though. You must feel the better for having expressed them...

Languages don't just translate one-word-for-one-word: just think of all the very different meanings any one English word or spelling can have, depending on the context. I am on a language teachers' "list", and it seems most of the younger participants don't even own a good printed dictionary, which gives you the various meanings of a word in the target language, with examples of the context of each meaning. These teachers depend on the online pseudo-dictionaries, where you enter one English word and you get back one foreign word for it, which has little chance of being the correct one for the context in question. ... << I completely agree with Prof. Wilson. However, *sometimes* the user of a one-word for one-word translator will be "saved" by a phenomenon that may be of interest to this group: There is a pervasive tendency for the same semantically unrelated concepts that are homonyms in one language to be (near) homonyms in other languages. For example, Hebrew MiSHPaT means "a grammatical sentence" and "the sentence of a judge/court". The English word "sentence" has the same meanings. Hebrew tzadi-lamed-lamed = "a sound/tone that you hear" and "(to dive) deep". TZoLeLeT = a submarine. The English word "sound" also has these meanings: the whale sounded, to sound the depths of the sea, Puget Sound. Hebrew BaD = cloth, BaDaH = a myth, BaDai = one who tells a myth/false story. English "fabric" = cloth, but "to fabricate" can mean to make up a false story. This meaning of English fabricate has been borrowed into modern Israeli Hebrew as L'FaBRiK = to make up a false story. In English we say "He made it up out of whole cloth. There's not a stitch of truth in it." English swipe = "a sweeping blow, path of a wiper" but also "to steal". The Hebrew triliteral samekh-het-vet has the same meanings. Perhaps this is because Hebrew NaGaV = to wipe and its metathesis GaNaV = to steal. Hebrew Roo'aKH = spirit. Reversing the het-resh produces KHaRoN (aF) = anger. Compare Latin anima and animus; English animated and animosity. ciao, Israel "izzy" Cohen http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/BPMaps/ From - Sat Sep 06 19:26:53 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:26:36 +0100 Received: from postoffice06.princeton.edu ([128.112.133.8] helo=Princeton.EDU ident=root) by e.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1Kc2UU-00036B-SG for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK; Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:26:36 +0100 Received: from smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.65]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m86IM8N3017821; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:22:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m8642b59020379; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:21:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 20874451 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:14:58 -0400 Approved-By: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice04.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.112]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m86IDkKU014180 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:13:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice04.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.112]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m86IDkpO009412 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:13:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw4.Princeton.EDU (emfw4.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.23]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m86IDjFo009409 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:13:45 -0400 (EDT) X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1220724824-509d01f60000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.131.23:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi Received: from a.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 27114A1353 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:13:44 -0400 (EDT) Received: from a.painless.aaisp.net.uk (a.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.51]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id y8WUTWTNixQel8Gy for ; Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:13:44 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 146-39-237-24.gci.net ([24.237.39.146] helo=[192.168.2.5]) by a.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1Kc2I3-0005bY-QV for humanist@princeton.edu; Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:13:44 +0100 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 (Windows/20080708) MIME-Version: 1.0 X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.195 jobs at Queensland and Alberta, fellowship at UCLA Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed X-Barracuda-Connect: a.painless.aaisp.net.uk[81.187.30.51] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1220724825 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=nai engine=5.2.00 definitions=5378 signatures=458450 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=0 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0805090000 definitions=main-0809060093 X-Spam-KB: http://www.Princeton.EDU/spam Message-ID: <48C2C855.3060803@mccarty.org.uk> Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 19:13:41 +0100 Reply-To: Humanist Discussion Group Sender: Humanist Discussion Group From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: 22.195 jobs at Queensland and Alberta, fellowship at UCLA X-To: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@Princeton.EDU Precedence: list List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Owner: List-Archive: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by Princeton.EDU id m86IM8N3017821 X-Country: US X-Message-Linecount: 291 X-Connected-IP: 128.112.133.8:40608 X-Body-Linecount: 227 X-Message-Size: 14564 X-Body-Size: 10590 X-Received-Count: 10 X-Recipient-Count: 1 X-Local-Recipient-Count: 1 X-Local-Recipient-Defer-Count: 0 X-Local-Recipient-Fail-Count: 0 X-Spam-Score: 0.0 X-Spam-Score-Int: 0 X-Spam-Bar: / X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "f.spamless.aaisp.net.uk", has processed this message and it scored (0.0 points). pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 0.0 NO_VIRUS_FOUND There were no viruses found in this message by ClamAV X-Spam-Mark-Threshold: 5 (System default as User or Domain preference has not set) X-Spam-Reject-Threshold: 20 (System default as User or Domain preference has not set) X-Spam-User: willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk X-Spam-Flag: NO X-Delivered-To: willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk (willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk) X-Message-Age: 2 X-AA-BETA: r=v_u m2=0 m3= m4= m5= m8= m9= reqint=50 Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 195.

This vision is based on the opportunities provided by electronic publishing and the Internet. All the major scientific organisations, most universities, research funders and some publishing houses have already taken measures in the spirit of OA. The aim of the Open Access Days in Berlin is to achieve further acceptance of OA in the German-speaking scientific sector. During the two-day event, the different ways of making knowledge openly accessible will be dealt with comprehensively in talks and workshops, at a podium discussion and at an exhibition devoted to OA. The Conference and Exhibition are aimed at two main target groups: The events on Day 1 will provide scientists, authors and science managers with an overview of the various ways of implementing OA and information on OA services offered by universities, research agencies and selected publishers. Introductory talks will be followed by presentations on such topics as the assertive negotiation of authors' copyrights and the extent to which OA and excellent science go hand in hand. During a podium discussion, representatives of the German science sector will give their perspectives on OA and discuss current challenges. Day 2 of the conference is geared especially towards the German-speaking Open-Access-Community. In workshops, experts from research agencies, OA repositories and journals and university presses will give their perspectives on and discuss different aspects of OA. The aim of these workshops is to develop joint OA implementation strategies in the various areas discussed. Topics will include Open Data (free access to research data), legal issues connected with the institutional implementation of OA, and challenges encountered when setting up and running OA journals, repositories and university publishers. In a wrap-up discussion session, the results of the workshops will be presented to all the participants. Exhibition on Open Access: A two-day Exhibition on Open Access will take place within the framework of the Berlin Open Access Days. The exhibition will give publishers, repositories, OA-journals and other OA-related projects the opportunity to present their products and services to a wide range of visitors from the German-speaking science sector.

In this context, knowledge-based systems have received increased attention as being instrumental to strategy formulation. The synergy of these approaches with knowledge management initiatives is intuitive and their use in a common framework is discussed in this workshop to show the importance of methods and instruments to mapping and assessing the knowledge assets of an organisation. This workshop will focus on the theoreticians and practitioners concerned with developing methods and systems that assist the knowledge management process and assessing the suitability of such methods. Thus, the workshop includes all aspects of acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and their role in the construction of knowledge-based systems. Knowledge acquisition still remains the bottleneck for building a knowledge based system. Reuse and sharing of knowledge bases are major issues and no satisfactory solutions have been agreed upon yet. There is a wide range of research. Much of the work in this field has been knowledge acquisition. The advent of the age of digital information has brought the problem of knowledge reuse and knowledge evaluation. Our ability to analyze, evaluate and assist user in reusing knowledge present a great challenge of the next years. A new generation of computational techniques and tools is required to support the acquisition, the reuse and the evaluation of useful knowledge from the rapidly growing volume of information. All of these are to be discussed in this workshop.

Traditionally, controlled languages fall into two major types: those that improve readability for human readers, and those that enable reliable automatic semantic analysis of the language. [...] The second type of languages has a formal logical basis, i.e. they have a formal syntax and semantics, and can be mapped to an existing formal language, such as first-order logic. Thus, those languages can be used as knowledge representation languages, and writing of those languages is supported by fully automatic consistency and redundancy checks, query answering, etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_natural_language) Various controlled natural languages of the second type have been developed by a number of organisations, and have been used in many different application domains, most recently within the semantic web. This workshop is dedicated to discussing the similarities and differences of existing controlled natural languages of the second type, possible improvements to these languages, relations to other knowledge representation languages, tool support, existing and future applications, and further topics of interest. Topics --------- CNL 2009 will address the following aspects of controlled natural languages (CNLs): - design of CNLs - parsing of CNLs - CNLs for knowledge representation - CNLs for specifications - CNLs and the semantic web - CNLs as user interface - CNLs for interaction and communication - tool support for CNLs - reasoning in CNLs - comparisons of CNLs - applications of CNLs - business rules - user studies - theoretical results - etc. [...] From - Mon Sep 08 17:47:07 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:11:08 +0100 Received: from postoffice06.princeton.edu ([128.112.133.8] helo=Princeton.EDU ident=root) by h.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KcjKT-0002yg-Fw for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK;

You need not be subscribed to the Digital Medievalist listserv to act as a referee or reviewer of the Digital Medievalist Journal (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/journal/) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dot Porter Date: Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:07 AM To: Digital Medievalist Dear Digital Medievalist membership, We are in the process of compiling a list of referees for our journal articles and reviewers for digital editions and digitally-related books. If you would be interested in acting as a referee and/or reviewer, please write to us at editors@digitalmedievalist.org and give us your position and institutional affiliation, and a brief description of your interests and specializations. This will allow us to assign reviewers and referees based on their fields of specialization and their availability, meaning you can be very precise in what you wish to review and how frequently. We would like to have a very broad pool of knowledge to draw from, covering the late antique period through the Renaissance, all specializations (literature, history, art history, economics, material culture, archeology, etc.), and a range of digital experience. It should be noted that accepting referees are named and published alongside the articles. To get a sense of what is involved in completing a review of an article as referee for Digital Medievalist, you can take a look at the review form available which will be available within 24 hours at http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/journal/DM_Referee_form.txt. Address questions or comments to editors@digitalmedievalist.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

It focuses on two broad kinds of content-based research activities: ontological analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing useful computational models. Applied Ontology (ISSN 1570-5838) will be published in 1 volume of 4 issues in 2009 (Volume 4).

The postdoctoral fellow will be key in the development of a professional reading environment designed to respond to the needs of those working with early modern books and manuscripts. Source material for this work will be derived from our work on the /Devonshire Manuscript/ (BL Add MS 17,492) and our ongoing work with professional reading environments in number of related projects. The successful candidate will have skills and aptitudes in early modern research, textual studies, and scholarly editing in a digital humanities context, including training or demonstrated experience working with TEI XML and digital editions. Organizational skills are essential. Interest and aptitude in research planning and management would be an asset. The ability to work in concert with our existing team is a critical requirement. Examples of technologies employed in related ETCL projects are as follows: TEI P5; XML, XSLT, XSL and XHTML encoding; XQuery; eXist XML databases; JavaScript; Ruby on Rails; PHP; CSS; and web-based SQL database projects using PostgresSQL and mySQL. Experience in some or all of these areas would be an asset, but is not a requirement, though aptitude with digital tools is required. Our current team members pride themselves on a passionate interest in both the humanities and their computation engagement. Our ideal candidate is someone with similar passions who can introduce the team to new ideas and provide new perspectives on existing digital humanities issues. Salary for this position is competitive in the Canadian context, and is governed in part by SSHRC practices; combined with a local supplement, the annual salary for this position is expected to be $52,000, inclusive of benefits and travel allowances.

We'll start with a high-level discussion of fair use and review the role it plays in enabling access to certain types of materials. Most importantly, these explorations will underscore the fact that creating and operating access systems for digital materials, and the copyright issues involved, are institutional concerns and not just a matter of library services. Goals: When you have completed the course, you will be able to: *Identify and understand each of the legal authorizations available to faculty to use others' materials oLicensed materials oMaterials available freely on the web (creative commons and implied licenses) oOrphan works oThe role of fair use, the limits on that role, and the importance of knowing your institution's risk tolerance in order to decide how to apply the fair use test for small, medium and large-scale course materials access operations oTEACH Act oThe role of Copyright Clearance Center's transactional permissioning and campus-wide subscription licensing *Identify the features of an integrated approach to digital materials access that promote its acceptance and use among faculty and graduate students *Identify the institutional units on your campus that would need to be involved in creating an integrated system for providing digital access to course materials *Participate in discussions on your campus of the need and methods for achieving an integrated approach to access to digital course materials.

Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations Digital Humanities 2009 Call for Papers Hosted by the Maryland institute of Technology in the Humanities (MITH), University of Maryland, College Park, USA 22-25 June, 2009 http://www.mith2.umd.edu/dh09/ Abstract Deadline: October 31, 2008 (Midnight GMT) Presentations can include: =C2=95 Single papers (abstract max of 1500 words) =C2=95 Multiple paper sessions (overview max of 500 words) =C2=95 Posters (abstract max of 1500 words) Call for Papers Announcement I. General The international Programme Committee invites submissions of abstracts of between 750 and 1500 words on any aspect of digital humanities, broadly defined to encompass the common ground between information technology and problems in humanities research and teaching. As always, we welcome submissions in any area of the humanities, particularly interdisciplinary work. We especially encourage submissions on the current state of the art in digital humanities, and on recent new developments and expected future developments in the field. Suitable subjects for proposals include, for example, * text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning * libraries, archives and the creation, delivery, management and preservation of humanities digital resources * computer-based research and computing applications in all areas of literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including electronic literature and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship * use of computation in such areas as the arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, and other areas reflecting our cultural heritage * research issues such as: information design and modelling; the cultural impact of the new media; software studies; Human-Computer interaction * the role of digital humanities in academic curricula * digital humanities and diversity The range of topics covered by digital humanities can also be consulted in the journal of the associations: Literary and Linguistic Computing (LLC), Oxford University Press. The deadline for submitting paper, session and poster proposals to the Programme Committee is October 31, 2008. All submissions will be refereed. Presenters will be notified of acceptance February 13, 2009. The electronic submission form will be available at the conference site from October 1st, 2008. See below for full details on submitting proposals. Proposals for (non-refereed, or vendor) demos and for pre-conference tutorials and workshops should be discussed directly with the local conference organizer as soon as possible. For more information on the conference in general please visit the conference web site. II. Types of Proposals Proposals to the Programme Committee may be of three types: (1) papers, (2) poster presentations and/or software demonstrations, and (3) sessions (either three-paper or panel sessions). The type of submission must be specified in the proposal. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. 1) Papers Proposals for papers (750-1500 words) should describe original work: either completed research which has given rise to substantial results, or the development of significant new methodologies, or rigorous theoretical, speculative or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals that concentrate on the development of new computing methodologies should make clear how the methodologies are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of the application of those methodologies in the humanities. Those that concentrate on a particular application in the humanities should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include some critical assessment of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include conclusions and references to important sources. Those describing the creation or use of digital resources should follow these guidelines as far as possible. 2) Poster Presentations and Software Demonstrations Poster presentations may include computer technology and project demonstrations. Hence the term poster/demo to refer to the different possible combinations of printed and computer based presentations. There should be no difference in quality between poster/demo presentations and papers, and the format for proposals is the same for both. The same academic standards should apply in both cases, but posters/demos may be a more suitable way of presenting late-breaking results, or significant work in progress, including pedagogical applications. Both will be submitted to the same refereeing process. The choice between the two modes of presentation (poster/demo or paper) should depend on the most effective and informative way of communicating the scientific content of the proposal. By definition, poster presentations are less formal and more interactive than a standard talk. Poster presenters have the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in detail with those most deeply interested in the same topic. Presenters will be provided with about two square meters of board space to display their work. They may also provide handouts with examples or more detailed information. Posters will remain on display throughout the conference, but there will also be a separate conference session dedicated to them, when presenters should be prepared to explain their work and answer questions. Additional times may also be assigned for software or project demonstrations. The poster sessions will build on the recent trend of showcasing some of the most important and innovative work being done in digital humanities. As an acknowledgement of the special contribution of the posters to the conference, the Programme Committee will award a prize for the best poster. 3) Sessions Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either: Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750-1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session; or A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 750-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. The deadline for session proposals is the same as for proposals for papers, i.e. October 31st, 2008. III. Format of the Proposals All proposals must be submitted electronically using the on-line submission form, which will be available at the conference web site http://www.mith2.umd.edu/dh09/ from October 1st, 2008. Anyone who has previously used the conftool system to submit proposals or reviews should use their existing account rather than setting up a new one. If anyone has forgotten their user name and/or password please contact dh2009@digitalhumanities.org. IV. Information about the conference venue: MITH University of Maryland Celebrating its 10th anniversary as a working digital humanities center, MITH is the University of Maryland's primary intellectual hub for scholars and practitioners of digital humanities, electronic literature, and cyberculture, as well as the headquarters of the Electronic Literature Organization.

See the quoted text for context. --WM] This is true, but some caveats are in order. Campaign rhetoric is a highly ritualized genre that lends itself to easy statistical analysis and visualization. If you want to be a little cynical, you might say it's like those tests that the Pentagon has set up to prove that anti- missile systems work-- not entirely real life experiments with the thumbs weighing in heavily on the side of success. Things are harder and a lot less obvious once you get into the messy universe of literary texts in different genres, from different places, and different times. We have been valiantly wrestling with this set of problems in the MONK project (http://monkproject.org), and with a little luck we hope to demonstrate real life success stories in the few months. I don't want to knock the Times visualizations, they are very good, and they certainly are a sign of changing times. But alas, from a standpoint of text analysis, any American political campaign is like shooting fish in a barrel.

In-Reply-To: <48CAA335.3090207@mccarty.org.uk> We are delighted to announce the release of a new version of JGAAP, the _Java Graphical Authorship Attribution Program_, by Patrick Juola and his research team at Duquesne University. For more details, please visit our wiki at www.jgaap.com, from which you can also download both the software and the source code. JGAAP, now in version 3.1, is a graphical program to perform text-based authorship attribution among other forms of text categorization using a variety of different methods. It uses the Java programming language to create an easily-extensible framework for solving text classification problems in a write-once, run-anywhere fashion. Currently available analytic methods include popular classification techniques such as nearest-neighbor algorithms using a variety of distances, support vector machines using a variety of kernels, with many others planned for addition in the near future. This program is freely available and released under Open Source guideline= s; we hope that other researchers will help us test and extend this software for widespread use. Thank you, Patrick Juola and the JGAAP development team (John Noecker, Mike Ryan, Chuck Liddell, Sandy Speer, and Ashley Bernola) www.jgaap.com (JGAAP is supported by National Science Foundation award #OCI-0721667.)

A selected set of conference papers was subsequently published in the October 2007 issue of First Monday. The conference will appeal not just to members of the PKP community, but to anyone interested in trends and developments for scholarly publishing and communication. There will be a wide range of topical sessions on new reading and publishing technologies; open access initiatives; alternative publishing and funding models; national and international collaborative projects; new roles and partnerships for libraries, scholarly publishers and others; and sustainability for open access publishing and open source software. Prospective and first time users of OJS and other PKP software will be able to learn more about the systems and establish contacts with the PKP community. Experienced implementers, developers, and system administrators will have an opportunity to participate in technical sessions and exchange information. The conference will commence with an opening keynote session on the evening of July 8 convened by John Willinsky, the founder of the Public Knowledge Project. There will be several pre-conference workshops on July 8, and the main conference program will present a combination of concurrent and single track sessions during on July 9 and 10.

I describe certain aspects of a trend to go "back to the future" in the evolution of such spaces. [September 26, 1.15 CET] Desires at Play: Queering World of Warcraft Jenny Sund=C3=A9n, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm In collaboration with Ume=C3=A5 Pride 2008 Abstract (first paragraph): Part reading, part lecture, this is an exploration in the intersections of queer theory, queer lives and the study of online games. How do corporeal desires and belongings map onto games? Could certain game spaces or moments of play be termed =C2=91queer= =C2=92? The feminist critique of representations of femininity in games often engages with how female avatars tend to be designed along the lines of a hyped-up, =C2=91stereotypical=C2=92 sexuality. This argument presumes tha= t excessive female sexuality is a problem, since it turns women=C2=92s bodi= es into objects of a (straight) male gaze. It also presumes an understanding of play primarily passed on identification. How would an analysis with queer sensibilities make the picture shift? Other upcoming seminars: [October 7, 1.15 pm CET] Interactive Architecture and Interaction Landscaping Mikael Wiberg, Department of Informatics [October 21, 1.15 pm CET] The big bang: A case study of mobile media and gaming as new media in South Korea Larissa Hjorth, RMIT University The full seminar schedule can be found at http://www.humlab.umu.se/seminarier (partly in Swedish).

[The following query from Lisa Noetzel was sent to me directly; with her permission I am posting it and hope for a good response. --WM] I am a Spanish professor at a small, liberal arts college located on the eastern shore of MD. I just joined the Humanist Listserv. At the suggesion of Professor Mark Davies, creator of the Corpus del Espanol and other online corpora, I'm writing to the Humanist Listserv to ask for expert advice / suggestions. I am trying to create an online database for an extinct language (Timucuan). It's a language that is attested in 9 bilingual texts (Spanish + Timucuan) all of which were written by various Franciscan missionaries who learned the language in order to communicate with the natives + to convert them to Christianity. I'm writing a proposal for an ACLS fellowship as well as an NEH Digital Start-Up grant to try to see this project through to its fruition. The online databse I envision is a mixture of Google Book Search and the Corpus del Espanol. That is, I'd like for the site to offer a visual, facsimile (with the option of viewing the text in an expanded, plain text version)as well as to have word search (exact word or wild card)options. IT specialists at my college have told me that we use a UNIX server - not a Microsoft one. My question to you and the Humanist Listserv community is this: what programs or interfaces compatible with UNIX would you suggest for a project like mine? Many thanks for any help you can give me + for reading such a long email. Sincerely, Lisa M. Noetzel Lisa M.

However, Semitic languages as a whole are still understudied. The most prominent members of this family are Arabic (and its dialects), Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic, Maltese and Syriac. Their shared ancestry is apparent through pervasive cognate sharing, a rich and productive pattern-based morphology, and similar syntactic constructions. An increasing body of computational linguistics work is starting to appear for both Arabic and Hebrew. Arabic alone, as the largest member of the Semitic family, has been receiving much attention lately via dedicated projects such as MEDAR, as well as workshops and conferences. These include, among others, the Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (ACL 2001, Toulouse, France), the workshop on Arabic Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002, Las Palmas, Canary Islands), a special session on Arabic processing in Traitement Automatique du Langage Naturel (TALN 2004, Fes, Morocco), the NEMLAR Arabic Language Resources and Tools Conference (2004, Cairo, Egypt), The Challenge of Arabic for NLP/MT (October 2006, London, U.K.), and the series of workshops on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages (ACL 1998, Montreal, Canada; ACL 2005, Ann Arbor, USA; and ACL 2007, Prague, Czech Republic) . The increase in attention to Arabic has been coupled with a surge in computational resources for this language, made available to the community by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and by the European Language Resources Association (ELRA/ELDA). Tools and resources for other Semitic languages are being created at a slower rate. While corpora and some tools are necessarily language-specific, ideally there should be more cross-fertilization among research and development efforts for different Semitic languages. The workshop will be an opportunity for the Special Interest Group on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages (the SIG) to meet and discuss future direction in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing approaches to Semitic Languages.

This text is available online and is entitled The Operable Man: On the Ethical State of Gene Technology , a lecture Sloterdijk gave at Harvard in 2000. If you think from the title that it is a bit far from the themes addressed in this discussion group, please read the following excerpt: "In the current state of the world, the single most striking feature of intellectual and technological history that is that technological culture is producing a new state of language and writing. This new state has hardly anything in common anymore with traditional interpretations of language and writing by religion, metaphysics and humanism. The old House of Being turns out to be something wherein a residence in the sense of dwelling and of the bringing close of the distant is hardly possible any longer. Speaking and writing in the age of digital codes and genetic transcriptions no longer make any kind of familiar sense; the typefaces of technology are developing apart from transmission, and no longer evoke homeliness or the effects of befriending the external. On the contrary, they increase the scope of the external and that which can never be assimilated. The province of language is shrinking, while the sector of straight-forward text is growing. Heidegger, in his letter "On Humanism," expressed these problems in an old-fashioned, yet factually correct manner, when he called homelessness the outstanding ontological feature of man's contemporary modus essendi. "Homelessness is coming to be the destiny of the world. Hence it is necessary to think that destiny in terms of the history of Being ... Technology is in its essence a destiny within the history of Being ... As a form of truth technology is grounded in the history of metaphysics." Enjoy.

Ms Noetzel requested advice regarding an " online databse I envision is a mixture of Google Book Search and the Corpus del Espanol. That is, I'd like for the site to offer a visual, facsimile (with the option of viewing the text in an expanded, plain text version)as well as to have word search (exact word or wild card)options. ...compatible with UNIX". First, UNIX is the grandmother of all operating systems. The tech people who operate (install, configure, maintain and (possibly) support applications running on) it might want to know what you are doing and how much support you are going to demand from them. They will think the system already has a viable database (probably called mySQL or postgreSQL). To them the database is the engine that does all the work, to you it is the data and interaction you have with it. There are a lot of natural language processing tools that have been developed on the Unix platform, as well as formal concept analysis tools etc. You might want to start with the "Survey of the State of the Art in Human Language Technology", read online or download pdf from http://cslu.cse.ogi.edu/HLTsurvey/HLTsurvey.html and then peruse Language Technology World (http://www.it-world.org) "... an ontology-based virtual information center on the wide spectrum of technologies for dealing with human languages. It is a free service provided to the R&D community, potential users of language technologies, students and other interested parties by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI)." It also points to the natural language software registry (http://registry.dfki.de/ ) which lists technologies in the following sections (number of packages): Annotation Tools (35) Evaluation Tools (9) Language Resources (74) Multimedia (14) Multimodality (20) NLP Development Aid (88) Spoken Language (47) Written Language (227) The tools are not necessarily specific to ethnology but many would be useful in that context. The "database" that any particular technology uses could be simply a collection of files on your storage media or a content management system (CMS) with a heavy duty server behind it that handles the data through "structured query language" (SQL) requests. You might also look at "NLTK =C3=A2=C2=80=C2=94 the Natural Language Tool= kit =C3=A2=C2=80=C2=94 is a suite of open source Python modules, data and documentation for research and development in natural language processing. NLTK contains Code supporting dozens of NLP tasks, along with 40 popular Corpora and extensive Documentation including a 375-page online Book. Distributions for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux are available" from (http://nltk.org ).

Before I ask my question, let me struggle openly to break free from various provincialisms, or at least to recognize them and so qualify the question I want to ask. Forgive the highly personal tone of the following, but I do think that being a person of a particular kind at a particular time and in a particular place has enormous influence on how one thinks. The first of my provincialisms is the product of the accident of birth which allowed me to grow up in an age of more or less unrestrained libidinal and intellectual expansiveness. In other words, back then one could do pretty much what one wanted to do in mind and body and get away with it. Where I grew up is the second provincialism, on the West Coast of the U.S. -- California even! Third is the family, positively and negatively: positively, by elevating the intellectual life high above everything else; negatively, by demonstrating vividly that constant talk of money didn't have any benefits. (Contradictions, I know, but what is life if not contradictory?) Fourth is the great American inheritance of idealism, which I think of as the condition of exercising the ability to envision a life worth living and to move unremittingly if not obsessively against all obstacles toward living it. Fifth is age, which exerts pressure on me, sometimes well nigh irresistible, to see the world as going to hell in a handbasket. In other words, I suspect that visions of decline and fall often, though of course not always, reflect the physical decline and fall of the individuals having those visions. So, now to my question: what can we do, being digital humanists, to restore our institutions of higher education to a focus on education in the full sense of that term? Not training in this or that "transferrable skill" but EDUCATION. Not how to please our student-customers by fulfilling their expectations but how to rock their boats by challenging these expectations. Not how to get more of these student-customers but how to be worth the candle in an age of undoubted darkness. What can we do to counter the deadly, anti-intellectual focus of our administrative superiors on business plans and profitability? (These *are* part of the current vocabulary of university administration in the U.K.) The ones I know, mind you, do not have much of a choice. Apparently it's the ones I do not know, which a senior administrator here once called "the hard men down the hall", who are more directly part of the problem. But only part. I think we have to ask ourselves how this situation has come to pass and what role we've had in allowing it to happen. What I see (arguments welcome) is what's not in the mix, namely that very idealism which animated, empowered and formed my education -- the conviction that our whole purpose in higher education is, as I said, to envision a life worth living, make the vision strong and offer it to all who come to study with us. If now we are not being given the wherewithal to do what we would like to do, and see only prospects of getting less, I think we have to ask about what we have been giving, indeed whether we have been giving, such that we get in turn. And from that, I would think, would follow acts of generosity on our part. Which would have to be leapings of faith in the face of no evidence of return whatever. What's specific in this from the digital humanities? What do the digital humanities have to contribute -- not to a higher standard of living but to that life worth living? This is, in fact, a version of the question that F. R. Levis asked, in a public lecture he gave at Bristol, published in the Times Literary Supplement for 23 April 1970, "'Literarism' vs 'Scientism': The misconception and the menace". (I've mentioned this lecture before, I know. Please don't medicalize my repetitions!) Leavis was not, of course, speaking about the digital humanities as we know them now, rather about one of the first great waves of technologization to hit the universities, objections to which were waved away by a political leader at the time, who said in the Guardian that technology was "a means to an end". What end? was Leavis' question, and now mine. The fact that no answer is forthcoming from our supposed leaders tells us where to look for leadership. One answer, I suppose, is manifested by Humanist, and by Stan Katz's blog in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Brainstorm, http://chronicle.com/review/brainstorm/katz/. Others? Comments?

That is, I'd like for the site to offer a > visual, facsimile (with the option of viewing the text in an > expanded, plain text version)as well as to have word search (exact > word or wild card)options. The best way to approach this, I would think, is first to create a transcription of the texts in TEI/XML. That transcription is independent from the operating system (unix/microsoft) and also independent from any program that you use, at a second stage, to create a web representation of your texts. One of the advantages of this approach is that you can create multiple presentations, tailored to different needs. Samples of editions of parallel texts that were created based on a TEI encoding: Shorter Chinese Samyukta Agama: http://buddhistinformatics.chibs.edu.tw/BZA/cluster.xql?base=bza001 Preface to Ancrene Wisse http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Projects/EETS/AW-tt.html Freising Manuscripts http://nl.ijs.si/e-zrc/bs/index-en.html (a number of versions in parallel: http://nl.ijs.si/e-zrc/bs/html/bsPA.html) Another sample, this one of TEI encoded texts integrating advanced search, facsimile display and a textual rendering: Proceedings of the Old Bailey, 1674-1913: http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/ But there are many more.

In-Reply-To: <48DF4772.5000804@mccarty.org.uk> Willard, the question is obviously in the air (is it because of the fall, or start of academic year?), because I just had the chance to talk about a book on a similar theme: Konrad Paul Liessmann, Theorie der Unbildung. Die Irrtuemer der Wissensgesellschaft. The book is newly translated in Croatian, and we found out, with some surprise, that this is a first book-long argument to appear in Croatia *against* the promised land of "knowledge society" (which seems to be land of knowledge industrialized). Anyway, one possible point of reference for digital humanists can be found in well known Choruses from "The Rock" by T S Eliot ("Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? / Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?") --- if we take into account *all three* "levels" of knowing. Computing, obviously, deals with "information"; higher education, arguably, aimed at "wisdom" (or at least von Humboldt liked to think about it that way). Digital humanities is able to show how, in this layered structure, information differs from knowledge. Could it move somehow towards the third level?

In-Reply-To: <48DF4772.5000804@mccarty.org.uk> Willard, some quick reflections on your important email about education and training (as I like to put it). First, my vision. In my ideal world, student would do a first degree to get an education, a second degree to get training. Law is probably the best model, at least in the 'true north strong and free', as Canada's anthem has it. So business schools, engineering schools, journal schools, ... would over only post-graduate degrees. That said, one thing to ask is: Have things got worse? I have been at a university for almost 50 years, six universities in three countries on two continents. My answer would be, On the education side, for the most part, no. Certainly research funding has been sharply steered away from basic, curiousity-driven work in some countries (though not Canada, thank goodness). But at the undegraduate level, I would say that the mix is about the same as it always has been. Some young people arrive wanting to have their minds expanded. They do philosophy or literature or history or physics or mathmatics, depending on their predilection. Others want a ticket to an interesting, well-paid job. They do business or engineering. Still others want to change the world. They do environmental studies or, sometimes, sociology or political science (the latter esp if they are headed for law school and politics). Yet others want to understand something big and important. They do cognitive science or biology or ... . And so it goes and so it has gone for a long time. What can we do? No single small group of academics and researchers is going to make a global difference. But what we can do, each of us, is to be in the mind-expanding and human-flourishing business in everything we do with students individually and in our various groups. This might not make a global difference but it can make a huge difference to the lives with which we are actually in contact. Plus, the resulting relationships make the work more than worthwhile all by themselves. And it is nice to have former students come back years later and tell you how much they got out of your course/research group/discussion group. My two cents' worth.

This will change soon. Meanwhile I have tried to watch out for messages that are manually unsigned or under-signed but have missed a few. The ones that I know about are: 22.233 [2], from Andrew Brook 22.223 [1], from Martin Mueller Until the new software comes along, please sign all your postings manually, giving your full name and e-mail address. I shall try to remain vigilant. But often I process messages before the first coffee of the day has had a chance to do its work and so am partially on auto-pilot, it seems. I wonder, now that I think of it, whether close association with computing induces automatic behaviour of a less than ideal sort?

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:13:30 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: update to the William Blake Archive Dear all, Some recent news & publications from the William Blake Archive. Best, Will Shaw William Shaw English and Comparative Literature University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill -- 29 September 2008 The William Blake Archive is pleased to announce the publication of electronic editions of copies L and R of _The Book of Thel_. Copy L is in the Huntington Library and Art Gallery and copy R is in the Mellon Collection, Yale Center for British Art. _The Book of Thel_ is dated 1789 by Blake on the title page, but the first plate (Thel's Motto) and the last (her descent into the netherworld) appear to have been completed and first printed in 1790, while Blake was working on _The Marriage of Heaven and Hell_. Copies L and R are from the first of three printings of _Thel_, during which Blake produced at least thirteen copies, printed in five different inks to diversify his stock. Copy L, for example, was printed in green ink, copy R in brown ink; both are lightly finished in water colors. Copies from this press run were certainly on hand when Blake included the book in his advertisement "To the Public" of October 1793: "The Book of Thel, a Poem in Illuminated Printing. Quarto, with 6 designs, price 3s." Copies L and R join copies in the Archive from the other two printings: copy F, printed and colored c. 1795, and copy O, printed and colored c. 1818. They also join copies H and J from the first printing; like copy L, both are printed in green ink and lightly finished in water colors. Like all the illuminated books in the Archive, the text and images of _Thel_ copies L and R are fully searchable and are supported by our Inote and ImageSizer applications. With the Archive's Compare feature, users can easily juxtapose multiple impressions of any plate across the different copies of this or any of the other illuminated books. New protocols for transcription, which produce improved accuracy and fuller documentation in editors' notes, have been applied to copies L and R and to all the _Thel_ texts previously published. With the publication of _Thel_ copies L and R, the Archive now contains fully searchable and scalable electronic editions of sixty- seven copies of Blake's nineteen illuminated books in the context of full bibliographic information about each work, careful diplomatic transcriptions of all texts, detailed descriptions of all images, and extensive bibliographies. In addition to illuminated books, the Archive contains many important manuscripts and series of engravings, sketches, and water color drawings, including Blake's illustrations to Thomas Gray's _Poems_, water color and engraved illustrations to Dante's _Divine Comedy_, the large color printed drawings of 1795 and c. 1805, the Linnell and Butts sets of the _Book of Job_ water colors and the sketchbook containing drawings for the engraved illustrations to the _Book of Job_, the water color illustrations to Robert Blair's _The Grave_, and all nine of Blake's water color series illustrating the poetry of John Milton. As always, the William Blake Archive is a free site, imposing no access restrictions and charging no subscription fees. The site is made possible by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the continuing support of the Library of Congress, and the cooperation of the international array of libraries and museums that have generously given us permission to reproduce works from their collections in the Archive.

DRIVER is a joint initiative of European stakeholders, co-financed by the European Commission, to establish a flexible, robust, and scalable infrastructure for all European and world-wide digital repositories, managing scientific information in an Open Access model increasingly demanded by researchers, funding organisations and other stakeholders. DRIVER's mission is to expand its content base, supporting the global research community with high quality research output, including textual research papers and complex forms of scholarly electronic publication. Rima Kupryte, Director of eIFL.net, said 'eIFL.net and DRIVER share the vision that research institutions should contribute actively and cooperatively to a global, interoperable, trusted and long-term data and service infrastructure based on Open Access digital repositories. This agreement includes joint approaches to consolidation of national communities for the European repository network and active joint dissemination of best practices of Open Access scholarly communication in countries and regions without such formal policy.' Norbert Lossau, Scientific Coordinator of DRIVER and Director of the Goettingen State and University Library commented: "DRIVER can only be successful through collaborating with all relevant stakeholders and by including all countries. eIfL has an excellent track record in supporting developing countries. Cooperation with eIFL will contribute to the joint vision through an established communication network and enthusiastic pioneers in many countries."

My minimal hope is that this is indeed so. I for one agree with his local activism, "be in the mind-expanding and human-flourishing business in everything we do with students individually and in our various groups". Perhaps it is hopeful as well as a bit depressing that I find myself (to compare small with great) in the position of I. I. Rabi as told by Ithiel de Sola Pool in Humane Politics and Methods of Inquiry (p. 295): > There is an anecdote, and I believe a true one, from the time when > General Dwight D. Eisenhower became President of Columbia University. > At this first meeting with the faulty the new president told them > about various plans to do good things for the "employees" of the > university. At the end the Nobel Prizewinning physicist, I. I. Rabi, > rose and said, "Mr President there is just one point: we are not the > employees of the university, we are the university." At Queen's University Belfast, for example, the administrators are openly talking about a "customer services" office for the students. According to reliable reports I get, students there are not unlikely to complain that because they have paid for their education they should get this and that. (Most students in the U.K. have NO IDEA what it means to pay for even a significant fraction of what it actually costs to educate them.) I have had a conversation with a student in which I got back from her in righteous tone some script or other from a handbook of rights and privileges (but not duties) -- the presence of buzzwords were a dead giveaway. Not uncommon are e-mail messages from undergraduates to their lecturers (most often if the lecturer is young, but not always) that begin with use of the first-name, in the following manner: "hi, X, hope you had a nice weekend. i can't get my essay in, hope this is ok." What bothers me here is that the obvious lack of respect mirrors our own lack of self-knowledge of what we're for and self-confidence in what we are doing. My own answer to the question of what we might do, locally, within the digital humanities, is to stop thinking and talking in the common yess'um-utilitarian way (shuffling the feet, with eyes downcast and hands in pockets) and assert the dignity of what we do by challenging received knowledge rather than simply encoding it. Instead of blathering on about "transferrable skills" -- and so transferring the value of what we do from ourselves right out into the 9-to-5 workplace, and so de-valuing that value, I think we should be revealing worlds of possibility and hope beyond what the deadly dull workplace can ever provide for. In the fact that computing cannot do X, Y and Z is the revelation of what miraculously human beings can do. I think this is, in the form of a rant, what Neven suggested by his far gentler, more subtle question: > Digital humanities is able to show how, in this layered structure, > information differs from knowledge. Could it move somehow towards the > third level? But I would ask, again, how can WE move it to that third level, and perhaps on from there. Comments?

THEME This year's CHArt conference takes seeing as its theme and the associated questions of vision, perception, visibility and invisibility, blindness and insight - all in the context of our contemporary digital culture in which our eyes are assaulted by ever greater amounts of visual stimulus, while we are also increasingly being surveyed, on a continual basis. What does it mean to see and be seen nowadays? How have advances in neuroscience or developments in technology altered our understanding of vision and perception? What kind of visual spaces do we now inhabit? What new kinds of visual experiences are now available? And what are now lost or no longer possible? How does the increasing digitalisation of media affect the experience of seeing? What and who might be rendered invisible by the processes of digital culture? What are our current digital culture's blindspots? What are its politics of seeing? The 2008 conference investigates such questions. Places are limited so early booking is recommended. The booking form is available online on *www.chart.ac.uk*. Bookings made before 1 October 2008 will be entitled to a discount. Conference fees (pounds sterling) - include coffee/tea breaks and lunch.

Likewise, large scale digitisation projects are currently underway to make collections of cultural heritage (CH) stored in museums, archives, and libraries around the world more accessible, where it is desirable to develop powerful tools that enable annotating, structuring, enriching, searching, linking, and mining the digitised data. Language technology has an important role to play in these processes, even for collections which are primarily non-textual, since text is the pervasive medium used for metadata. At the same time, the CH and SHE domains pose special challenges for the NLP community, such as the use of historic or non-standard language (ellipsis, OCR or transcription errors, linguistic variation, and the mixed use of languages), the interplay between textual form and content, as well as the necessity to deal with data from various media. Textual data from CH and SHE are typically multifunctional, which allows for transdisciplinary research, promoting the development of automatic creation and extension of controlled vocabularies and information exchange standards. The CH and SHE domains therefore constitute an interesting and challenging testbed for the robustness of existing language technology. The workshop, a continuation of LaTeCH-07 (Prague, Czech Republic) and LaTeCH-08 (Marrakech, Morocco) aims to foster interaction between researchers working on all aspects of language technology applied to CH and SHE domains, and experts from institutions who are testing deployed technologies and formulating improved use cases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Adapting existing NLP tools to the CH and SHE domains: machine learning and semantic web technologies * Automatic error detection and cleaning * Complex annotation tools and interfaces * Dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or non-contemporary use of language * Knowledge discovery from CH and SHE data * Knowledge representation in CH and SHE * Linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains * Ontologies, data models, taxonomies: automatic induction and standardisation * Representing CH and SHE data to different audiences: personalisation, text simplification, text summarisation, (hyper)text generation * Transdisciplinary research on CH and SHE data * User scenarios and use cases.

November 2-3, 2008. http://dhcs.uchicago.edu/ Registration deadline: OCTOBER 27, 2008 We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 3rd annual Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science (DHCS) which will take place on November 2=C3=A2=C2=80=C2=933, 2008 at th= e University of Chicago. The goal of the annual Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science (DHCS) is to bring together researchers and scholars in the humanities and computer science to examine the current state of digital humanities as a field of intellectual inquiry and to identify and explore new directions and perspectives for future research. The first DHCS Colloquium in 2006 (at the University of Chicago) examined the challenges and opportunities posed by the "million books" digitization projects. The second DHCS Colloquium in 2007 (at Northwestern University) focused on searching and querying as both tools and methodologies. The theme of the third Chicago DHCS Colloquium is "Making Sense" =C3=A2=C2= =80=C2=93 an exploration of how meaning is created and apprehended at the transition of the digital to the analog. The conference site has a complete program and presentation abstracts. Following tradition, DHCS 2008 is structured to allow participants to attend all paper presentations, poster sessions and keynotes (there are no parallel sessions) with generous time set aside for questions, informal meetings and networking between sessions, at the joint lunches and the colloquium banquet. DHCS continues to be a free event without registration fees. This year (inspired in part by the success of THATCamp) we've added time for participant organized workshops and informal, "birds-of-a-feather" meetings on the day before the colloquium, Saturday, November 1, 2008. We envision workshops being used for seminars and/or tutorials on topics that will feature in the colloquium's paper presentations and the BOF for informal exchanges on topics of common interest (e.g. "digital archaeology"). I hope you will find this attractive enough to come.

Meanwhile, emerging Web 3.0 applications, driven by semantic web technologies such as RDF, OWL and SPARQL, offer powerful data organization, combination, and query capabilities. The social web and the semantic web complement each other in the way they approach content generation and organization. Social web applications are fairly unsophisticated at preserving the semantics in user-submitted content, typically limiting themselves user tagging and basic metadata. Because of this, they have only limited ways for consumers to find, customize, filter and reuse data. Semantic web applications, on the other hand, feature sophisticated logic-backed data handling technologies, but lack the kind of scalable authoring and incentive systems found in successful social web applications. As a result, semantic web applications are typically of limited scope and impact. We envision a new generation of applications that combine the strengths of these two approaches: the data flexibility and portability of that is characteristic of the semantic web, and the scalability and authorship advantages of the social web. In this symposium, we are interested in bringing together the semantic web community and the social web community to promote the collaborative development and deployment of semantics in the World Wide Web context. We welcome constructive papers on, for example: (i) how semantic technologies, especially knowledge representation and collective intelligence, can benefit social web content organization and retrieval; (ii) how social web technologies can facilitate massive semantic content production; and (iii) how to address the requirements, e.g., reasoning scalability and semantic convergence issues, which emerge from the combination. We encourage submissions of full papers, extended abstracts, demonstrations and posters describing research and applications that deal with (but not limited to) the following topics on social semantic we= b: * Collaborative and collective semantic data generation and publish= ing * Semantic tagging and annotation for social web * Data integration * Data portability * Data analysis and data mining * Privacy, policy and access control * Provenance, reputation and trust * Scalable search, query and reasoning * Semantically-enabled social applications: semantic wikis, semanti= c desktops, semantic portals, semantic blogs, semantic calendars, semantic email, semantic news, etc. Submission Interested participants should submit papers in PDF format to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/conference_change_yes.cgi?iid=3D8040. Submissions should be formatted in the AAAI Format. Full papers are limited in 6 pages and position papers/demos are limited in 2 pages. Selected papers from the symposium will be published as an AAAI technical report. Important Dates * October 10, 2008 (23:59 PDT) - Submission due.

DigCCurr 2009: Digital Curation Practice, Promise and Prospects is part of the Preserving Access to Our Digital Future: Building an International Digital Curation Curriculum (DigCCurr) project. DigCCurr is a three-year (2006-2009), Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded collaboration between SILS and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The primary goals of the DigCCurr project are to develop a graduate-level curricular framework, course modules, and experiential components to prepare students for digital curation in various environments. DigCCurr initiatives in support of this goal are informed by representatives from the project=C2=92s collaborating institutions as well as an Advisory Boar= d of experts from Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The first symposium, DigCCurr2007: An International Symposium in Digital Curation, was held April 18- 20, 2007, attracting nearly 300 attendees from ten countries. Participants explored the definition of digital curation and what skills are necessary for digital curation professionals working in libraries, archives, museums, data centers, and other data-intensive organizations. DigCCurr2009 will continue this theme, focusing on current practice and research surrounding digital curation with a look toward the future, and trends in preparing digital curation professionals. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following: -- Digital curation synergies and collaboration: What are the challenges and opportunities for regional, national, and global cooperation and collaboration in digital curation practices and research? How do we approach these effectively? Where do practices and research converge and diverge across different organizational mandates and requirements? Strategies for building and leveraging relations and cooperation among a global audience of digital curation researchers and educators for improved delivery of digital curation research and practice opportunities for emerging professionals. -- Teaching and training at the international level: What are the barriers and advantages in providing quality and comparable education? How does the profession traverse credentials and certification? Graduate education and continuing education for practitioners; Examination of current teaching tools; Recruiting students; Perceptions on the changing professional competencies and personal attributes for employment in digital curation environments. -- Digital curation in relation to archives and museums: How is the environment shaping traditional responsibilities? How are synergies developing across libraries, archives, and museums? What are core competencies in digital curation? Can we develop common ground among participating disciplines and entities? What are implications for various professions, and what issues do the professions need to addressing separately? -- What is going on in real life with the curation of digital resources? We encourage people to undertake small-scale studies in order to share data and case studies about current practices, procedures and approaches within specific organizational contexts. What is happening in different sectors such as industry, federal government, state government, nonprofit cultural institutions? -- What do we need? Examination of scope, extent, relevance, and quality of current literature. What is useful? What is missing? -- Infrastructures in support of digital curation. How well is current technology meeting the needs of digital curation, and what should future technology research and development involve to better meet these needs? How do organizations incorporate digital curation principles and procedures into their administrative and managerial operations? How do we support sustainable infrastructure? TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS Contributed papers The submission of original, recent, research and projects (including case studies), theoretical developments, or innovative practical applications providing insight into the above topics is encouraged.

Venue: University College London, Wilkins Building, Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT Cost: 20 GBP (students and ISKO members free!) Much has been written in recent years of the potential of semantic analysis technology which extracts categories, concepts and context automatically. But how well does this technology work and what are the issues involved? In this seminar, organized by ISKO UK in cooperation with the School of Library, Archives and Information Studies at University College London, we will hear from six presenters, each of whom will provide their own experiences. They include SmartLogic=C2=92s Jeremy Bentley, Bill Porter o= f Expert System, Rob Lee from Rattle Research, and Helen Lippell, Karen Loasby and Silver Oliver representing various media organizations, among them the BBC.

Perhaps humanities computing's evolution to=20 digital humanities has coincided with the expansion of the concept of=20 =E2=80=9Ctext.=E2=80=9D As did D. F. McKenzie, we now =E2=80=9Cdefine =C2= =81etexts=C2=81 to include=20 verbal, visual, oral, and numeric data, in the form of maps, prints, and=20 music, of archives of recorded sound, of films, videos, and any=20 computer-stored information, everything in fact from epigraphy to the=20 latest forms of discography" (Bibliography and the Sociology of Texts, 1= 3). For our 2009 conference, we invite submissions on any aspect of=20 textuality. We invite arguments against the expansion of the concept=20 beyond its most traditional understanding, or beyond the point at which=20 we now find ourselves, and we invite arguments in favour of expansion in=20 any direction and into any area. We invite papers that demonstrate the=20 strength and / or the necessity of digital humanities in dealing with=20 the undeniable evolution of text from print to digital culture.=20 Potential topics include but are not limited to: =E2=97=8F The meaning of =E2=80=9Ctext=E2=80=9D =E2=97=8F The relationship between image and text =E2=97=8F The image as text =E2=97=8F The textuality of the moving image =E2=97=8F The limitations of =E2=80=9Ctext=E2=80=9D as metaphor =E2=97=8F Rejecting text / rejecting textuality =E2=97=8F The evolving role of textual scholarship =E2=97=8F Text as database / database as text =E2=97=8F Teaching texts The preceding list is partial, and only intended to spur your=20 imagination. We welcome the submission of any paper you believe would=20 fit the conference theme, or any paper you think befits an audience at=20 the most important annual conference of digital humanists in Canada. SDH/SEMI regularly collaborates with other national societies, including=20 the Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English=20 (ACCUTE), the Bibliographical Society of Canada (BSC), the Association=20 for the Study of Book Culture/Association canadienne pour l=E2=80=99=C3=A9= tude de=20 l=E2=80=99histoire du livre (ASBC/ACEH), the Canadian Historical Society = (CHS),=20 the Canadian Society of Medievalists (CSM) and the Canadian Society for=20 Renaissance Studies / Soci=C3=A9t=C3=A9 Canadienne D'=C3=89tudes de la Re= naissance=20 (CSRS / ) to present joint sessions. As of the publication of this Call=20 For Papers next year's collaborations have not been set, but we=20 anticipate continuing our cooperative tradition. Proposals for=20 inclusion in a joint session should indicate such a preference. All=20 submissions to SDH/SEMI will be considered to be eligible for inclusion=20 in a joint session or in independent SDH/SEMI sessions. Those wishing=20 to submit their proposal through one of the associations with which=20 SDH/SEMI will collaborate must follow the submission requirements of the=20 specific association. There is some funding available to support graduate student=20 participation, and in keeping with the forward-looking nature of=20 SDH/SEMI graduate students are strongly encouraged to submit.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Normally, Infobits does not focus on a single topic or theme, However, the recently-published abundance of papers, reports, and articles on using games or virtual worlds for teaching and learning has prompted me to devote most of this issue to these resources. ...................................................................... VIRTUAL WORLDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTRUCTION "Clearly there is a large and growing group of educators who believe that many good things, many very good things, are connected with virtual worlds. There are also still staunch critics yelling about what is wrong with virtual worlds. With many people engaging in this robust conversation today, it would be a great disservice to both the local and the global community not to have more institutions participating in the discussion." -- A. J. Kelton, "Virtual Worlds? 'Outlook Good'" The theme of the September/October 2008 issue of EDUCAUSE REVIEW is learning in virtual worlds. In "Higher Education as Virtual Conversation" Sarah Robbins-Bell explains how "using [virtual worlds] requires a shift in thinking and an adjustment in pedagogical methods that will embrace the community, the fluid identity, and the participation--indeed, the increased conversation--that virtual spaces can provide." Cynthia M. Calongne ("Educational Frontiers: Learning in a Virtual World") draws on the experience of teaching nine university courses using Second Life to discuss what is required for success in this teaching environment. In "Drawing a Roadmap: Barriers and Challenges to Designing the Ideal Virtual World for Higher Education," Chris Johnson provides a "roadmap for designing an 'ideal' virtual world for higher education, pointing decision-makers in a general direction for implementing virtual worlds and noting various barriers along the way." These and other papers and articles are available online at http://connect.educause.edu/apps/er/index.asp?time=1222867545 EDUCAUSE Review [ISSN 1527-6619], a bimonthly print magazine that explores developments in information technology and education, is published by EDUCAUSE (http://www.educause.edu/).

The theme for volume 2, number 1, to be published in March 2009, will be "Pedagogy, Education and Innovation in 3-D Virtual Worlds." ...................................................................... GAMES AND LEARNING The theme of both Fall 2008 issues of COMPUTERS AND COMPOSITION and COMPUTERS AND COMPOSITION ONLINE is "Reading Games: Composition, Literacy, and Video Gaming" -- "a look at the computer and video gaming industry and its influence on our literacy practices.

September 16, 2008 http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/263/report_display.asp The Pew Research Center recently reported that "virtually all American teens [97% of teens ages 12-17] play computer, console, or cell phone games and that the gaming experience is rich and varied, with a significant amount of social interaction and potential for civic engagement." "The Civic Potential of Video Games" By Civic Engagement Research Group at Mills College September 7, 2008 http://www.civicsurvey.org/White_paper_link_text.pdf "Although it shares some text and findings with the Teens, Games, and Civics report, it provides a more detailed discussion of the relevant research on civics and gaming. In addition, this report discusses the policy and research implications of these findings for those interested in better understanding and promoting civic engagement through video games." "Literacy through Gaming: The Influence of Videogames on the Writings of High School Freshman Males" By Immaculee Harushimana JOURNAL OF LITERACY AND TECHNOLOGY, vol. 9, no. 2, August 2008, pp. 35-56 http://www.literacyandtechnology.org/volume10/harushimana.pdf "While videogames often evoke concerns among parents, politicians, and educators, they pervade the lives of the youth in today's world and constitute a major component of the 'new literacy studies' field. In an era when young generations are digital-friendly and video game savvy, the role of video gaming in children and adolescents' cognitive development must not be overlooked. Educating today's generation of learners requires an understanding of the new digital environment into which they were born." ......................................................................

By James Bowman The New Atlantis, no. 21, Summer 2008, pp. 75-80 http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/is-stupid-making-us-google "Generally speaking, even those who are most gung-ho about new ways of learning probably tend to cling to a belief that education has, or ought to have, at least something to do with making things lodge in the minds of students--this even though the disparagement of the role of memory in education by professional educators now goes back at least three generations, long before computers were ever thought of as educational tools. That, by the way, should lessen our astonishment, if not our dismay, at the extent to which the educational establishment, instead of viewing these developments with alarm, is adapting its understanding of what education is to the new realities of how the new generation of 'netizens' actually learn (and don't learn) rather than trying to adapt the kids to unchanging standards of scholarship and learning." Editor's note: The article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" mentioned in Bowman's article was the June 2008 Infobits "Recommended Reading" suggestion (http://its.unc.edu/tl/infobits/bitjun08.php#7). ......................................................................

I mentioned, in passing, in a recent Humanist posting that I was currently developing an iPhone application which would allow users to locate, navigate to, and obtain information about historical sites in your current (GPS specified) area. Furthermore, I alluded that it would be possible to deliver tours, and additional (perhaps on a pay basis) information about the site once you managed to get there! I've had quiet a few emails of support and interest - each person was interested in doing something similar for their own project. I have decided to halt progress temporarily and see what kind of requirements others may have! So, in the interest of removing duplication I am inviting anyone interested in this kind of application to contact me with their usage requirements, or their ideal application. I now have the assistance of an excellent student who will work with me on a generic interface that can be used to implement specific solutions "with ease". In general, we hope to build an interface and some middleware that can be used to interoperate with existing online applications. I'm plan on distributing the application source (and middleware) using a creative commons license (if used for non commercial purposes) so interested people can take the source and use it for their own projects. Please email me your suggestions, wish lists, projects, etc. and we'll keep you informed of progress. As soon as we have a demo for you to download we'll let you know. I'm estimating a completed project in April 2009. Thank you, John. Dr. John G.

The aims and objectives of criticism, exegesis and the history of ideas, on the one hand, and book history and historical bibliography on the other are not simply different. As tools for human communication, books carry meaning through their "text" as much as through their physical form, and the interaction between the two is the focus of this study. We invite scholars working on book history to look more deeply into how this interaction works. Topics that could be considered are physical form (mise-en-page, typography, format, paper type) and meaning, the relationship between history of the book and textual editing, "material" reception/reputation history, the sociology of the text and the idea of influence/intertextuality, para-text and the material book, the genetic text and the "biography" of an oeuvre, illustrations and dust jackets. Note that we welcome abstracts on any Book History related topic. Please send your proposal (200-300 words) to Christine Lees (Christine.Lees@sas.ac.uk) and Wim Van Mierlo (Wim.Van-Mierlo@sas.ac.uk) before 15 September 2007. This study day is free and open to postgraduates, academics and independent scholars with an interest in the History of the Book.

While this is not an eHumanities conference in the strict sense, many of its topics are very pertinent to our field. Best regards, Marc K=FCster -------------------- English Version (abridged): February 20th through 22nd, 2008, the ISKO conference will take place at Constance (Germany). The conference is organized by the German chapter of ISKO, the Library Service Centre Baden-W=FCrttemberg, and the Department of Information Science at the University of Konstanz. The general topic is: Repositories of knowledge in digital spaces Accessibility, sustainability, semantic interoperability The following sessions (and special topics) are planned: a. Ontologies, controlled vocabulary, topic maps, semantic web Ontologies, classifications, topic maps, and the semantic web seem to enhance the usefulness and the usability of online knowledge. The different communities of developers often don't know anything about each other although there might be chances of fruitful cooperation. Ontologies and classifications (UDC, DDC) are a instruments of knowlegde organization and universal views on knowledge structures. Topic maps offer new and user friendly strategies of retrieval. The semantic web seems to be split between promise and reality. Successful applications are therefore of interest. B. Social tagging Folksonomies and wikies can be perceived as a way of democratization of knowledge. Nevertheless the producers of this knowledge control the structure of knowledge which is a debatable point. Another one is, whether the sustainability of knowledge can be guaranteed under the circumstances of an anarchic process of knowledge creation. Political questions like these are of interest. C. Platforms of knowledge There are several platforms and environments, where online knowledge is used enriching and organizing it for new purposes. Therefore contributions for some of those platforms such as e-learning, e-scholarship, e-publishing are welcome. D. Applications and projects Developers of new applications and services are invited to share their knowledge with the participants of the conference. European projects like MINERVA, the European Digital Library etc. try to offer digitized knowledge and are good examples of the development into the direction of global stores of knowledge. All those interested in the above mentioned topics or those running relevant projects are invited to participate in and contribute to the conference. English contributions as well as talks or session proposals in other fields of knowledge organization and related matters are also welcome.

General The international Programme Committee invites submissions of abstracts of between 750 and 1500 words on any aspect of humanities computing and the digital humanities, broadly defined to encompass the common ground between information technology and issues in humanities research and teaching. As always, we welcome submissions in any area of the humanities, particularly interdisciplinary work. We especially encourage submissions on the current state of the art in humanities computing and the digital humanities, and on recent and expected future developments in the field. Suitable subjects for proposals include, for example, * text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning * creation, delivery and management of humanities digital resources * collaboration between libraries and scholars in the creation, delivery, and management of humanities digital resources * computer-based research and computing applications in all areas of literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship * use of computation in such areas as the arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, and other areas reflecting our cultural heritage * research issues such as: information design and modelling; the cultural impact of the new media * the role of digital humanities in academic curricula Proposals should report significant and substantive results and will include reference to pertinent work in the field (up to 10 items) as part of their critical assessment. The range of topics covered by humanities computing can also be consulted in the journal of the associations: Literary and Linguistic Computing (LLC), Oxford University Press. The deadline for submitting paper, session and poster proposals to the Programme Committee is November 18, 2007 (midnight Universal Time). All submissions will be refereed. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by February by 13, 2008. The electronic submission form will be available at the conference site from October 15th, 2007. See below for full details on submitting proposals. Proposals for (non-refereed, or vendor) demos and for pre-conference tutorials and workshops should be discussed directly with the local conference organizer as soon as possible. For more information on the conference in general please visit the conference web site, at http://www.ekl.oulu.fi/dh2008/. II. Types of Proposals Proposals to the Programme Committee may be of three types: (1) papers, (2) poster presentations and/or software demonstrations (poster/demos), and (3) sessions (either three-paper or panel sessions). The type of submission must be specified in the proposal. Proposals to the Programme Committee may be presented in English and any of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Conference presentations may be in these languages as well, and the Programme Committee encourages presenters to consider multilingual presentations (for example, a presentation in one language with accompanying slides or handouts accommodating speakers of another language). 1) Papers Proposals for papers (750-1500 words) should describe original work: either completed research which has given rise to substantial results, or the development of significant new methodologies, or rigorous theoretical, speculative or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals that concentrate on the development of new computing methodologies should make clear how the methodologies are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of the application of those methodologies in the humanities. Those that concentrate on a particular application in the humanities should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include some critical assessment of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include conclusions and references to important sources. Those describing the creation or use of digital resources should follow these guidelines as far as possible. 2) Poster Presentations and Software Demonstrations (Poster/Demos) Poster presentations may include computer technology and project demonstrations. The term poster/demo refers to the different possible combinations of printed and computer based presentations. The poster/demo sessions build on the recent trend of showcasing some of the most important and innovative work being done in humanities computing. By definition, poster presentations and project demonstrations are less formal and more interactive than a standard talk. They provide the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in detail with those most deeply interested in the same topic. Presenters will be provided with about two square meters of board space to display their work. They may also provide handouts with examples or more detailed information. Poster/demos will remain on display throughout the conference, but there will also be a separate conference session dedicated to them, when presenters should be prepared to explain their work and answer questions. Additional times may also be assigned for software or project demonstrations. There should be no difference in quality between poster/demo presentations and papers, and the format for proposals is the same for both. The same academic standards should apply in both cases, but posters/demos may be a more suitable way of presenting late-breaking results, or significant work in progress, including pedagogical applications. Both will be submitted to the same refereeing process. The choice between the two modes of presentation (poster/demo or paper) should depend on the most effective and informative way of communicating the scientific content of the proposal. As an acknowledgement of the special contribution of the posters and demonstrations to the conference, the Programme Committee will award a prize for the best poster. 3) Sessions Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either: Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750-1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session; Or A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 750-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. The deadline for session proposals is the same as for proposals for papers, i.e. November 18, 2007. III. Format of the Proposals All proposals must be submitted electronically using the on-line submission form, which will be available from October 15th, 2007 at: https://secure.digitalhumanities.org/conftool/ Those who registered as authors, reviewers or participants at the DH2007 conference are kindly asked to log on to their existing account (the one used for the DH2007 conference) rather than making up a new account. IV. Bursaries for Young Scholars A limited number of bursaries for young scholars will be made available to those presenting at the conference. If you wish to be considered for a bursary, please refer to information about the bursary schemes available from the Association for Computing in the Humanities (http://www.ach.org/ach_bursary/) and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (_http://www.allc.org/awards/bursary.htm_).

While this is not an eHumanities conference in the strict sense, many of its topics are very pertinent to our field. Best regards, Marc K=FCster -------------------- English Version (abridged): February 20th through 22nd, 2008, the ISKO conference will take place at Constance (Germany). The conference is organized by the German chapter of ISKO, the Library Service Centre Baden-W=FCrttemberg, and the Department of Information Science at the University of Konstanz. The general topic is: Repositories of knowledge in digital spaces Accessibility, sustainability, semantic interoperability The following sessions (and special topics) are planned: a. Ontologies, controlled vocabulary, topic maps, semantic web Ontologies, classifications, topic maps, and the semantic web seem to enhance the usefulness and the usability of online knowledge. The different communities of developers often don't know anything about each other although there might be chances of fruitful cooperation. Ontologies and classifications (UDC, DDC) are a instruments of knowlegde organization and universal views on knowledge structures. Topic maps offer new and user friendly strategies of retrieval. The semantic web seems to be split between promise and reality. Successful applications are therefore of interest. B. Social tagging Folksonomies and wikies can be perceived as a way of democratization of knowledge. Nevertheless the producers of this knowledge control the structure of knowledge which is a debatable point. Another one is, whether the sustainability of knowledge can be guaranteed under the circumstances of an anarchic process of knowledge creation. Political questions like these are of interest. C. Platforms of knowledge There are several platforms and environments, where online knowledge is used enriching and organizing it for new purposes. Therefore contributions for some of those platforms such as e-learning, e-scholarship, e-publishing are welcome. D. Applications and projects Developers of new applications and services are invited to share their knowledge with the participants of the conference. European projects like MINERVA, the European Digital Library etc. try to offer digitized knowledge and are good examples of the development into the direction of global stores of knowledge. All those interested in the above mentioned topics or those running relevant projects are invited to participate in and contribute to the conference. English contributions as well as talks or session proposals in other fields of knowledge organization and related matters are also welcome.

The first trend is caused by the software development life cycle, which needs to be accelerated at reduced cost. The second trend is related to the Semantic Web and Service-oriented technologies, which aim to turn the Web into a huge repository of cross-referenced, machine-understandable data and processes. For both trends, rules can be used to extract, derive, transform, and integrate information in a platform-independent manner. While early rule engines and environments were complex, expensive to maintain, and not very user friendly, the current generation of rule technology provides enhanced usability, scalability and performance, and is less costly. A general advantage of using rules is that they are usually represented in a platform independent manner, often using XML. This fits well into today=C3=A2=C2=80= =C2=99s distributed, heterogeneous Web-based system environments. Rules represented in standardized Web formats can be discovered, interchanged and invoked at runtime within and across Web systems, and can be interpreted and executed on any platform. This special issue solicits state-of-the-art approaches, solutions and applications in the area of Rule Representation, Reasoning and Interchange in the context of distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments, such as the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing.

DigCCurr 2009: Digital Curation Practice, Promise and Prospects is part of the Preserving Access to Our Digital Future: Building an International Digital Curation Curriculum (DigCCurr) project. DigCCurr is a three-year (2006-2009), Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded collaboration between SILS and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The primary goals of the DigCCurr project are to develop a graduate-level curricular framework, course modules, and experiential components to prepare students for digital curation in various environments. DigCCurr initiatives in support of this goal are informed by representatives from the project=C2=92s collaborating institutions as well as an Advisory Boar= d of experts from Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The first symposium, DigCCurr2007: An International Symposium in Digital Curation, was held April 18- 20, 2007, attracting nearly 300 attendees from ten countries. Participants explored the definition of digital curation and what skills are necessary for digital curation professionals working in libraries, archives, museums, data centers, and other data-intensive organizations. DigCCurr2009 will continue this theme, focusing on current practice and research surrounding digital curation with a look toward the future, and trends in preparing digital curation professionals. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following: =C2=95 Digital curation synergies and collaboration: What are the challen= ges and opportunities for regional, national, and global cooperation and collaboration in digital curation practices and research? How do we approach these effectively? Where do practices and research converge and diverge across different organizational mandates and requirements? Strategies for building and leveraging relations and cooperation among a global audience of digital curation researchers and educators for improved delivery of digital curation research and practice opportunities for emerging professionals. =C2=95 Teaching and training at the international level: What are the barriers and advantages in providing quality and comparable education? How does the profession traverse credentials and certification? Graduate education and continuing education for practitioners; Examination of current teaching tools; Recruiting students; Perceptions on the changing professional competencies and personal attributes for employment in digital curation environments. =C2=95 Digital curation in relation to archives and museums: How is the environment shaping traditional responsibilities? How are synergies developing across libraries, archives, and museums? What are core competencies in digital curation? Can we develop common ground among participating disciplines and entities? What are implications for various professions, and what issues do the professions need to addressing separately? =C2=95 What is going on in real life with the curation of digital resourc= es? We encourage people to undertake small-scale studies in order to share data and case studies about current practices, procedures and approaches within specific organizational contexts. What is happening in different sectors such as industry, federal government, state government, nonprofit cultural institutions? =C2=95 What do we need? Examination of scope, extent, relevance, and qual= ity of current literature. What is useful? What is missing? =C2=95 Infrastructures in support of digital curation. How well is curren= t technology meeting the needs of digital curation, and what should future technology research and development involve to better meet these needs? How do organizations incorporate digital curation principles and procedures into their administrative and managerial operations? How do we support sustainable infrastructure?

The aim of this symposium is to conceptualise the Identity of an individual as a scientific concept whilst acknowledging the fact that Identity cannot be studied without considering the other two notions. The pros and cons of designing identities for or within VR become obvious upon admitting that representing any Self will be interpreted at some point by someone having his own values, opinions and experience in life. Members of our society that self-procure, attribute or redistribute Identity in the Virtual World bring about psychological enquiries in relation to user intentionality, specific uses of VR applications or general modifications to our ways of communicating. Usability issues addressing the problem of Identity have not yet been integrated into long-term visions of society and our needs. The Chair of the session is thus open to all existential, ethical and epistemological issues having to do with Identity in Virtual Communities.

The course involves six days of intensive training on the analysis, description and editing of medieval manuscripts in the digital age to be held jointly in Cambridge and London. Participants will receive a solid theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in cataloguing and editing manuscripts for both print and digital formats. The first three days involve morning classes and then visits to libraries in Cambridge and London in the afternoons. Participants will view original manuscripts and gain practical experience in applying the morning's themes to concrete examples. The final three days focus on cataloguing and describing manuscripts in a digital format with particular emphasis on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). These three days will also combine theoretical principles and practical experience and include supervised work on computers. The course is free of charge and open to all arts and humanities doctoral students registered at UK institutions. It is principally aimed at those writing dissertations which relate to medieval manuscripts, especially those on literature, art and history. Priority will be given to PhD students funded by the AHRC. Class sizes are limited to twenty and places are 'first-come-first-served' so early registration is strongly recommended. For further details see http://ies.sas.ac.uk/study/mmsda/ or contact the course organisers at mmsda@sas.ac.uk. --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:40:45 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Designing for learning in Virtual Worlds Designing for learning in Virtual Worlds Monday, September 29th, 2008 | | Written by: Sisse Siggaard Jensen Seminar at Roskilde University Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies Monday, October 13, 2008, 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. Room 43-2.29 Presented by Virtual Worlds Research: Sense-making strategies and user- driven innovations in virtual worlds (http://worlds.ruc.dk) Program 9:30 Registration and coffee 9:50 Welcome Associate Professors Sisse Siggaard Jensen, head of the Virtual Worlds Research project, and Simon Heilesen. 10:00 Keynote: John Lester (Pathfinder Linden) The Oasis of the Surreal: Real Minds in Virtual Worlds Immersive 3D online virtual worlds are a new medium for education and training, giving educators and students a platform for collaborative work, simulation, and experiential learning. John will give an overview of Second Life as a platform for innovative learning environments, providing examples of current educational and academic use as well as ideas for future exploration and strategies for success. During the presentation John will also give a live demonstration of Second Life, allowing attendees to see firsthand examples of educational projects and spaces in the virtual world. Lastly, he will touch on why virtual worlds in general resonate with human beings, and how they can be used to leverage our basic biological tendencies while at the same time giving us a change to grow beyond them. 11:00 Denise Doyle Critical Works in SL: Reflections on Developing and Supporting Creative Practice in Virtual Worlds The Immersed in Learning Project began in 2007 to evaluate the use of 3-D virtual worlds as a teaching and learning tool in undergraduate programmes in Digital Media at the University of Wolverhampton. The purchase and development of Kriti Island on the Second Life grid saw the online virtual space rapidly assumed a sense of real presence, and become a focus for collaboration, nationally and internationally. The successful submission of an artist led project to ISEA2008 saw ten international artists develop work for Kriti Island under the theme of Reality Jam. This presentation will reflect upon the impact of the Kritical Works in SL exhibition on the future development and use of the island for research and creative practice. 11:45 Jeremy Hunsinger Interactivity and Information: Designing in SL for Knowledge Production This presentation considers the interplay of interactivity and information found in constructions in virtual worlds as a question of designing for knowledge production. Construing the construction of objects as locations of intersubjective experiences, I argue that there is a varying mix of information and interactivity that is necessary forthe production of knowledge in virtual spaces. 12:30 Lunch 13:15 Terry Beaubois Architecture, Community, Virtual Environments and Education Terry Beaubois will present the experiences of the CRLab in applying advancing computer technology to education, research, and professional practice - which includes engaging art, music, film, and architecture students in the process. What have we learned and where are we going from here? 14:00 Kim Holmberg Experiences of education in virtual worlds =C2=93Researchers at the Department of Information Studies at =C3=85bo Ak= ademi were the first ones in Finland to use Second Life in their education. The first experiences showed that for some students the barrier to participate in teaching in virtual worlds was lower than in face-to- face teaching. Encouraged by the first experiences the researchers have studied the possibilities of virtual worlds in education and continued developing their own teaching in the virtual world of Second Life.=C2=94 14:45 Refreshments 15:00 Panel discussion: Designing for learning in virtual worlds Terry Beaubois, Denise Doyle, Kim Holmberg, Jeremy Hunsinger, Sisse Siggaard Jensen, and John Lester From - Wed Oct 08 08:49:41 2008 X-Mozilla-Status: 1001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Return-path: Envelope-to: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Delivery-date: Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:42:43 +0100 Received: from postoffice03.princeton.edu ([128.112.131.174] helo=Princeton.EDU) by e.hopeless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KnTgu-0006zC-NP for willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK; Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:42:43 +0100 Received: from smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.65]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m987ajtS027306; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:36:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m9842uWn017066; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:36:34 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 21278797 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:35:36 -0400 Approved-By: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m987YVPC004104 for ; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:34:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m987YVUX007973 for ; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:34:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw4.Princeton.EDU (emfw4.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.23]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m987YU5S007971 for ; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:34:31 -0400 (EDT) X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1223451270-169501920000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.131.23:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi Received: from a.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 7EE289C8491 for ; Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:34:30 -0400 (EDT) Received: from a.painless.aaisp.net.uk (a.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.51]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id cop9AIGK1c5TDvaD for ; Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:34:30 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=[192.168.0.2]) by a.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KnTYy-0000Ng-EA for humanist@princeton.edu; Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:34:28 +0100 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (Windows/20080914) MIME-Version: 1.0 X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.256 very suspicious, writing's on the screen / very suspicious, ladders bout' to fall...

Why is it I suspect that the utterances in which such e-words are found are carriers more of ignorance than of knowledge or even of genuine curiosity? Yesterday I found myself remarking to a colleague that anything which bore the e-designation immediately aroused my suspicions. Then this morning I received an invitation to be an editor of e-books or e-journals boastingly endorsed by a gaggle of Nobel Prize winners. This invitation lost me the millisecond I saw the e-whatever. Language is such a subtle instrument, even when used by unsubtle people. Text-analytic techniques would, I'm sure, not tell me by themselves why it is that on reading the invitation subsequently, though lost to its charms, I could sense only confirmation that my silent NO was wise and would be even if I were not already an editor several times over. Ok, I am entitled and en-aged and dis-economized to be grumpy. But, I plead in my own defense, grumpiness can be a pre-existing condition, but it can also be brought on by manifest wrongs and evils. It can be RIGHTEOUS. I assert here that in this instance we have something on which to apply Clifford Geertz's "intellectual weed-control". For an illuminating contrast, see www.openbookpublishers.com/. If I were invited by them I'd find it hard to say no. No e-suspicions there. But, why no open-suspicions?

Dear Willard, In the book Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing , Adam Greenfield briefly describes the 'terminology wars' that happen when certain names and/or prefixes and/or suffixes emerge out of different communities to designate similar concepts. Competition among them determines the levels of confidence or suspicion that arise when reading one of these terms, because we immediately identify the kind of community location or identity, which is represented in the choice of terminology being used. Such 'tech terminology' wars are subtle but effective: your remarks come to confirm what happens when a weak, or ugly, or wrong terminology is recognized: immediate dismissal of everything that accompanies it. Survival of the strongest and fittest is therefore assured. Interesting dynamics... technological culture seems to operate a lot like biology...

There are 12 invited speakers who are the leading figures in the "applied semantics" area, in addition to 6 oral submitted presentations and ~40 posters and demos. The event seems to become a unique opportunity in which the current state and future directions of practical semantics research will be discussed.

Matters such as the correctness of historical facts or the cogency of arguments never much troubled us there below. What almost led to the spilling of blood were commas, hyphens and that sort of thing. Matters, in other words, of style small enough to slip past any persuasive canons of rationality. I very much hope that no virtual blood is spilled here over the hyphen in e-matters. A googling for "poem on hyphens", to put the matter in proper perspective, yields a rich catch. I offer the following from that catch, from http://www.speakwell.com/well/2006autumn/poetry.php. ----- The Hyphen (Through the eyes of Martin Collis) I read of a man who was asked to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone, the beginning and the end. The first and the last days are markers in time. But what do those days really mean? What matters is not the birth or the death But the hyphen which lies in between. For the hyphen is time you spend on this earth. Just a hyphen to show what a life's really worth. And it isn't a house; it isn't a car, And it isn't a 53 Gibson guitar. It's not a position; it's not a possession Or membership in a prestigious profession. It's not in the labels on your clothes or your shoes Or the places you've been or seen on a cruise. We're human beings, not human doings Who pursue money and fame and keep on pursuing The words on the tombstones are kindness, and love, Family, friendship and laughter. These are the things that continue to ring When your body has reached the hereafter. Chose wisely and well when selecting the goals That you chose to base your life on. To miss the joy is to miss it all And a terrible waste of a hyphen. ----- So, I conclude, in the matter of e-matters what matters is the interval between the e(lectronic) and what it purports to be a version of, which embarrassingly is precisely what I have been arguing for all these many years. Yet again an annoyance becomes an occasion for enlightenment and apology. Yours, WM --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:22:53 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Re: 22.258 e-suspicions In-Reply-To: <48EDACE3.80004@mccarty.org.uk> Dear Willard, Totally agree with your feelings. But in fact that really hurts. My department is called "e-Research", one of our flag ship products was baptized "e-Laborate". In both cases I think I can identify with certainty the community (in the way Renata described it) that littered the work floor with these monstrosities: it was management. I can't even begin to tell on how much levels these names are wrong. Sure, like e-Research is something else than just plain research (using different instrumentation) - duh! I still would like to have a serious talk in a small and confined place with the m*r*n who thought it would be a good idea to put the hyphen in the URL for our e-Laborate product page. Imho it's all to do with hypes reaching management level. We've had the times that anything digital should have a name with an X (preferably) as the first letter. Following Apple's iSuccess we've seen even project names following that un(?)cameled style. Lately it has been "e" or "e-". I guess it's just about a 23 year wait till we'll be rid of the problem. Must go back to my iE-worX now... Cheers, Joris PS Hyphens shouldn't be abandoned, just used in the right way. Then they are actually beautiful!

Yet, once you have digitised your source what exactly can you do with it that was not possible in the original format? How can you use digitised sources in analytical research, and how can it be presented visually in lectures and presentations? In this talk, Shawn Day from the Digital Humanities Observatory will explore the means by which researchers can 'mine' complex datasets using readily available tools such as Google Earth, GIS, SketchUp!, and Graphviz. Shawn will use data from the 1901 census and Trinity College's '1641 Depositions Project' to give practical examples of how visualisation techniques can assist researchers in a range of disciplines across the humanities. Where: Seminar Room, Trinity Irish Art Research Centre (TRIARC), Trinity College Dublin. When: 4.00-6.00pm, Tuesday 28 October 2008. A searchable map of college, showing the location of the TRIARC building is available here.

In my mind it sits right nest to "hyper-" and "cyber-". "E" might be worse because 1) it often requires an annoying internal eCapitalization and 2) it conjures up commerce (specifically ecommerce). I think that once we associate a term with business speak ("paradigm shift" and "synergy" come to mind) it becomes verboten in tasteful academic circles. Out of curiosity I searched for "ebooks" on LexisNexis and found the first instance in Business Week in 1992 (June 15). The article announced new lines of books from Random House and SoftBooks that are a "take-off on email" and "have fancy features." eThanks, Amanda Amanda Gailey Assistant Professor of English University of Georgia 254 Park Hall Athens, GA 30602-6205 706-542-2242 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:49:51 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Hyphens In-Reply-To: <48EF136D.80404@mccarty.org.uk> A confession. I go to the University gym five times a week, passing a notice which reads "Padlocks which are not removed at the end of the semester will be cut-off." That hyphen had been annoying me, because it is OK in "cut-off jeans" but wrong when "cut" is part of a compound verb. The tension became too much, and I stuck a little piece of sticky paper over the offending hyphen, and now all is well. I hope Wisconsin does not have a law against treating public notices in this way.

Dear Colleagues, I would be very grateful if members of this list would point me to digital projects in the area of ancient Indian literary/philological studies. Does any of you know if an "Indian hub" for humanities computing exists? I couldn't find anything related on the web. As some of you already know my current research focuses on visualization of complex textual traditions, and the genetic study of literary texts. In the last four years we have been working on creating an online tool for handling multiple simultaneous versions of documents. Our research group have just received a small grant from the Italian government, which is part of a larger national research program on digital repositories. To get an idea of the general framework you can have a look at the previous programme: http://www.ricercaitaliana.it/prin/dettaglio_completo_prin_en-2005140112. htm, and for more specific research aims check out Desmond Schmidt's blog: http://multiversiondocs.blogspot.com/ Recently, I became particularly interested in ancient Indian texts. I was thinking for example about the both linguistically and structurally multi-layered tradition of historical and religious texts (starting from the Rigveda on), which will be an ideal testbed for Schmidt's MVDs software. We made a number of experiments with European literary texts, including ancient Greek and Latin, but I am convinced that in order to illustrate the full potential of this system we would need a multi- cultural and multi-linguistic approach. Why not challenge us with a possible collaboration East-West? Of course I realise how difficult would be to work with ancient Indian texts, and this why I am looking forward to an Indian partnership. Basically I am looking for variant texts - i.e. multi-version documents - in digital form for publishing them in a wiki, which will be open for text manipulation and editing to our partners. We have presented the first wiki prototype at Digital Humanities 2008, and you can find our paper in the conference book of abstracts: http://www.ekl.oulu.fi/dh2008/ I will be visiting South of India for one month starting on October 21st, and I am looking forward to establish contacts with Indian research institutions. I will be in the area of Chennai for a week or so from the 21st of October, than I will move on to Kerala, etc. I expect to be in Mumbai around November 13th. I would be very grateful if you could help me in contacting Indian researchers who could be potential partners for this project. Thanks in advance for your help. Domenico Fiormonte p.s. Please reply off-list to fiormont@uniroma3.it if for any kind of suggestion.

In recent years there has been increasing interest in this field, both in traditional games such as Go, and also in video games, where more convincing AI is a priority for next generation games. As the physics models in games become ever more realistic, they also offer a convenient testing ground for many types of robotics research. This increased interest is reflected by the new conferences in the area (e.g. IEEE CIG, and AIIDE), together with workshops, special sessions and tutorials at major neural network and machine learning conferences (e.g. NIPS, ICML, WCCI, PPSN). There is now an important new journal to provide a focus for archival quality research in the area: IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games http://ieee-cis.org/pubs/tciaig/ The journal is now open for submissions, with the first issue due to be published in March 2009. Scope The IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI in GAMES (T-CIAIG), published four times a year, publishes archival journal quality original papers in computational intelligence and related areas in artificial intelligence applied to games, including but not limited to video games, mathematical games, human-computer interactions in games, and games involving physical objects. Emphasis will also be placed on the use of these methods to improve performance in and understanding of the dynamics of games, as well as gaining insight into the properties of the methods as applied to games. It will also include using games as a platform for building intelligent embedded agents for the real world. Papers connecting games to all areas of computational intelligence and traditional AI will be considered. Given the importance and vibrancy of the field, the support of eight IEEE societies, and a strong research base, IEEE T-CIAIG is expected to rapidly become the leading journal in the field, with a correspondingly high impact factor.

All are welcome. For more information see the announcement pasted below and at http://www.dho.ie/autumn_2008.html#staples Best regards, Don -- Don Gourley, IT Manager Digital Humanities Observatory ~a project of the Royal Irish Academy~ +353 1 234 2446 -- d.gourley@ria.ie Abstract The Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture (Fedora) is set of very general architectural abstractions about digital information. Fedora can be used to express a variety of management schemes that support flexible use of digital content that is well positioned to be durable over a very long time. Fedora Commons is a private non-profit corporation that has set up to sustain the open-source Fedora software, under development since 2001. Fedora is in use by a variety of academic, business and government institutions around the world upon as a foundation for such things as institutional repositories, data curation schemes, digital libraries and open access publishing. This talk will introduce Fedora concepts, provide a high level overview of the software and talk about ways it is being used for different information management solutions. It will also discuss Fedora Commons and its community-building activities. About Thorny Thornton Staples is currently the Director of Community Strategy at Fedora Commons, Inc. He was the Co-Director for the Fedora Project from its inception in 2001. He has done information architecture consulting for variety of academic and cultural history projects in Europe, Australia and the United States. Previous positions include: Director of Digital Library Research and Development at the University of Virginia Library; Chief, Office of Information Technology at the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Project Director at the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, University of Virginia; and Special Projects Coordinator, Academic Computing at the University of Virginia. -- Susan Schreibman, PhD Director Digital Humanities Observatory 28-32 Pembroke Street Upper Dublin 2 -- A project of the Royal Irish Academy -- Phone: +353 1 234 2440 Mobile: +353 86 049 1966 Fax: +353 1 234 2588 Email:` s.schreibman@ria.ie http://dho.ie http://irith.org http://macgreevy.org http://v-machine.org --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 05:47:45 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Final Call for Proposals for CAA 2009 *FINAL CALL **FOR PAPERS AND PROPOSALS FOR SESSIONS, WORKSHOPS, **AND ROUNDTABLES at the 2009 Conference of Computer Applications **to Archaeology (CAA)* *Deadline: October 15, 2008* The 37th annual conference on Computer Applications to Archaeology (CAA) will take place at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Williamsburg, Virginia from *March 22 to 26, 2009*. The conference will bring together students and scholars to explore current theory and applications of quantitative methods and information technology in the field of archaeology. CAA members come from a diverse range of disciplines, including archaeology, anthropology, art and architectural history, computer science, geography, geomatics, historic preservation, museum studies, and urban history. For full information, please see the conference web site at www.caa2009.org . The annual meetings of CAA, typically attended by 350-500 students and scholars from around the world, are normally devoted to topics such as: agent-based models, bioarchaeology, CIDOC and other digital standards, databases, 3D data capture and modeling, data management systems and other field applications, GIS, predictive modeling, open source software in archaeology, photogrammetry and imaging, prospection and remote sensing, quantitative methods, high precision surveying, virtual museums, and virtual reality. Submissions of proposals for sessions, round tables, and workshops will be due by* October 15, 2008*. The online submission system can be found at http://www.caa2009.org/PapersCall.cfm. Submitters will be notified of the results by mid-November, when the call for individual papers and posters will be open. Abstracts for individual papers and posters will be due by *December 15, 2008*. *Sessions* Session organizers should provide a session invitation of 300 to 500 words relating to a well-defined theme. You should define the topic, explain its importance, and suggest the specific themes or issues that might be appropriately addressed by your contributors. A session can consist of two or three 90-minute blocks of time punctuated by a 15-minute break. It typically consists of six, but no more than nine, presentations and should include time for debate and discussion as well as an introduction and a wrap-up. Session proposals may include one or more abstracts of papers that will be presented, but will normally leave open the possibility for members of CAA to apply to participate in the proposed session. All session proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for their quality and relevance. This review will take into account any paper abstracts you include with your session proposal. Once a proposal has been accepted, it is placed on the conference web page, and an invitation is issued for additional paper abstracts to be submitted to your session. The session organizer will advise the Scientific Committee on which papers should be accepted or rejected for their session. The organizer will also be responsible for scheduling the order of presentations, presiding over the session, and for nominating two or three of the papers for publication in the printed acts of the conference. * Round Tables and Workshops* Round table and workshop organizers should provide an invitation of 300 to 500 words introducing the discussion topic. A* round table* proposal includes a list of four to eight panel members (names and affiliations) from at least two different countries. It should address a topic of general interest to the CAA community. The round table organizer must ensure that the panel members agree to attend the conference and take part in the round table. A round table organizer is the chairperson and acts as moderator. A time slot of 90 minutes will be allocated to each round table discussion. All round table proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for their quality and relevance. A *workshop *typically consists of a software and/or hardware demonstration in which the audience can actively participate. The proposal must include information on the duration (not to exceed 135 minutes), experience level, and prerequisites of the targeted audience as well as the maximum number of participants. Along with the proposal, a list of the presenters and their affiliations is required. *CAA 2009 Scientific Committee* * Prof. Bernard Frischer, The University of Virginia (*chair)* [bernard.d.frischer@gmail.com ] * Prof. Peter Bol, Harvard University * Dr. Wolfgang B=F6rner, City of Vienna * Prof. John Dobbins, The University of Virginia * Lisa Fischer, The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation * Prof. Arne Flaten, Coastal Carolina University * Prof. Maurizio Forte, University of California, Merced * Prof. Alyson Gill, Arkansas State University * Prof. Luc van Gool, Federal Technical Institute, Zurich * Prof. Gabriele Guidi, Politecnico di Milano * Prof. Elisabeth Jerem, Archaeological Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest * Prof. Ian Johnson, University of Sydney * Han Kamermans, University of Leiden * Prof. Kevin Kee, Brock University * Prof. Guus Lange, National Service for Archaeology, Cultural Landscape, and Built Heritage, Netherlands * Gary Lock, Oxford University * Prof. Scott Madry, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill * Mark Mudge, Cultural Heritage Imaging * Prof. Fraser D.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:19:07 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: DH researchers assistance requested Dear Digital Humanities Researcher, Collaboration and research teams are increasingly becoming the norm within the academic research environment, especially within the Humanities Computing/Digital Humanities (HC) environment. The research projects in this area need a variety of skills and expertise to accomplish their goals. At present, there are several national and international projects as well as numerous ones at the local level with many others in development. Despite this extensive use of research terms, there are few protocols in place to prepare individuals to work as part of a team. To address this gap, a team of researchers is undertaking work to identify effective work patterns and intra-team relationships and recommend supports for existing and future teams. The first step towards this goal is to learn more about how research teams function within this environment. To do this we need your help. We are distributing a questionnaire to the HC community to hear the community’s experience and knowledge related to research teams.

Allow me, if you will, to recommend that they be as short as possible while still saying what needs to be said. Take, for example, my own: > Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College > London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Interdisciplinary > Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org/. Arguably, if I were inclined to be laconic, I'd abbreviate this to > Willard McCarty, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/. which in one link gets everything, actually. But because clicks require time and effort, which not everyone with whom I wish to communicate has to spend or is willing to do so, I add the rest, which seems to me at the moment to be important for a good First Impression. The result is, > Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College > London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Interdisciplinary > Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org/. What I am writing now to suggest tends to make less than a good First Impression, because it takes up so much space, might be, in my case, something like this: > Willard McCarty, MA (Portland), PhD (Toronto) > Professor of Humanities Computing > http://staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/ > landline: +44 (0)20 7848-2784 > mobile: +44 (0)7703 568798 > > > Centre for Computing in the Humanities > King's College London > 26-29 Drury Lane > London WC2B 5RL > U.K. > http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/depts/cch/ > > Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews > http://www.isr-journal.org/ > > Editor, Humanist > http://www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Let's say that I write to Humanist with a short message about something or other. (Ok, I seldom if ever write SHORT messages to Humanist :-) My signature then tends to suggest that I think that my contact details (and so by implication, I MYSELF) are far more important than whatever it is I have to say. Is it *ever* the case for one of us that this is true or we want it to be true? I suppose, however, that the Devil is trickier than to be outwitted by laconicity. After all, Milton had him saying to an angel on sentry duty who challenged him, "Not to know me argues yourself unknown." But, then, perhaps all we can do anything about is style.

Now is a good time to begin thinking seriously about an application for anyone who requires funding, since most sources are now known and open to applications. Anyone interested should write directly to me. See http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/depts/cch/pg/phd/ for a brief note about the programme. Note that the PhD is a research-only degree. Admission is primarily decided on the basis of a research proposal of ca. 5 to 10 pages. Normal procedure is for potential candidates to develop a draft in consultation with the department over several iterations. All manner of subjects within the digital humanities are welcome at least for initial discussion. Most degrees are supervised collaboratively between the Centre and one or more other departments in the School of Humanities, School of Social Science and Public Policy or potentially one of the other Schools at King's. Enquiries concerning full- and part-time PhDs are welcome, as are enquiries about what we are now calling a "semi-distance PhD", pursued by someone who lives abroad but visits according to an agreed schedule.

Why have short signatures? Certainly our computing power is adequate to the task of sending a few extra lines of text without overloading the Internet. If that were a problem, then worse would be the failure to trim the attached message thread being replied to. Actually, I get annoyed when I want to contact someone by regular mail or telephone and none of their archived messages provide the necessary information, the signature block being omitted or unnecessarily brief. Since it's being added automatically, I don't view it as some labor of self-love, but rather an introduction, or a courtesy to those who might wish to contact me. Far worse are messages signed simply "John," with an email address reading something like john1234@yahoo.com, leaving me wondering who they are. I guess we each have our pet peeves. How about a little flash music video "signature" that starts playing when the message is opened? Cheers, Bill Barrow Visit our Cleveland Memory Project (www.ClevelandMemory.org) WILLIAM C.

Below the signature is our Editor's Note, which includes an announcement of JEP’s newest feature, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for each article. As always, thank you for reading JEP, and please spread the word. Best regards, Shana Kimball Managing Editor, Journal of Electronic Publishing Help us make JEP better! Send your comments and questions to jep-info@umich.edu. Editor’s Note --Judith Axler Turner "One of the most exciting events of 1997 was the introduction at the Frankfurt Book Fair of the Digital Object Identifier, a system that will allow all of us to manage our intellectual-property rights in ways we probably can’t imagine today." Those prescient words are (ahem!) mine, introducing a 1997 article in JEP on the DOI System by Bill Rosenblatt. In 1997 we imagined that the DOI system would protect owners of copyrighted works by providing a standard way to get to (and, eventually, pay for) information in an electronic format—an electronic marketplace. What we did not imagine at the time was that the DOI would become an electronic tracking service, helping to guarantee that any electronic material with such an identifier could be found, no matter how many URL changes there had been, or how many times the home Web site had been updated, rearranged, and archived. For scholars, this tracking across sources facilitates access to the literature behind the citations in research publications. That means whenever you come across a reference in JEP to an article that has a DOI, or when you come across a reference in another scholarly article to something in JEP, you can be sure that the link will work. Forever. This guarantee of immutability in linking is the strength of the DOI System today. JEP has been redesigned, rearranged, re-URLed, and seen changes in ownership. We were concerned that links to JEP articles would no longer work. In the original JEP, we checked URLs by hand, and changed those that no longer worked (sometimes having to do some detective work to find where cited articles had moved). JEP’s current publisher, the Scholarly Publishing Office, has its own permanent URLs through the CNRI Handle System, but SPO’s implementation is not part of a larger network of publishers as the DOI System is. Now we have registered with the DOI System so that you will always be able to find every JEP article, and know that it is the correct version. We registered our articles through CrossRef, which calls itself "the official DOI® link registration agency for scholarly and professional publications." It was a smooth process, and one that we recommend for everyone in scholarly publishing. The DOIs now appear in the headers of articles for this issue and all back issues. For more information on how it works, see CrossRef’s explanation of the DOI service . The difference between expectations and reality is the stuff of theory: why did we expect one thing, and why did it turn out differently? What ideas can explain this, and how can we use those ideas to understand the world? The authors we feature in this issue are also exploring how reality and theory interrelate. Frederick Wright, Ursuline College, muses on theories of collecting: why do people collect, and what does the corporality of the collection mean to a collector? "How Can 575 Comic Books Weigh Under An Ounce?: Comic Book Collecting in the Digital Age" shows us a side of electronic publishing that we have not before explored in JEP. http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0011.304 Gary Hanson and Paul Haridakis, both from Kent State University, were intrigued by their students’ use of YouTube, and decided to test that usage against some communications theories. They found that YouTube users treated recreational videos and news videos differently. Their findings are elaborated in "YouTube Users Watching and Sharing the News: A Uses and Gratifications Approach." http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0011.305 Oya Rieger from Cornell’s University Library writes about how current communication theory explains the acceptance of institutional repositories in "Opening Up Institutional Repositories: Social Construction of Innovation in Scholarly Communication." http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0011.301 Gretchen Wagner, general counsel at ARTstor, compares theory to practice in "Finding a New Angle of Repose." The theory in this case is copyright; the practice is the classroom. ARTstor is a digital library of nearly one million images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities, and social sciences; those images are made available for research and educational purposes by ARTstor. This article first appeared in the EDUCAUSE Review. http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0011.302 Real scholars are not afraid to turn theory on themselves. William Grose and Shayla Thiel-Stern tried live blogging—writing about an event as it unfolds, and publishing it on the Internet—in their communications class at the University of Minnesota. Their analysis of what happened and why, "Live Blogging in the College Classroom: A Professor and Student Perspective," can perhaps help other theorists come up with new and better theories. http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0011.303 Enjoy! --- From owner-humanist@Princeton.EDU Fri Oct 17 05:58:07 2008 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@DIGITALHUMANITIES.ORG Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from psmtp.com (exprod7mx261.postini.com [64.18.2.115]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with SMTP id 85150231F7 for ; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 05:58:07 +0000 (GMT) Received: from source ([128.112.133.189]) by exprod7mx261.postini.com ([64.18.6.14]) with SMTP; Thu, 16 Oct 2008 22:58:07 PDT Received: from smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.65]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9H5uF8I012140; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:56:19 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m9H5DaOB021618; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:55:29 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 21404169 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:54:09 -0400 Approved-By: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice04.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.112]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m9H5r7sk017090 for ; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:53:07 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice04.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.112]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9H5r7d3012415 for ; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:53:07 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw2.Princeton.EDU (emfw2.Princeton.EDU [128.112.128.96]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9H5r6qI012411 for ; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:53:06 -0400 (EDT) X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1224222785-054b035d0000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.128.96:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 20C0F108633D for ; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:53:05 -0400 (EDT) Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (c.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.53]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id 6tr97T6QYsAgmrlr for ; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:53:05 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=[192.168.0.2]) by c.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KqiGn-0006Su-E5 for humanist@princeton.edu; Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:53:05 +0100 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (Windows/20080914) MIME-Version: 1.0 X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.278 event: AI and games Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: Clear (Version: ClamAV 0.94/8437/Fri Oct 17 03:24:05 2008, by smtp.aaisp.net.uk) X-Barracuda-Connect: c.painless.aaisp.net.uk[81.187.30.53] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1224222786 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=nai engine=5.3.00 definitions=5407 signatures=473961 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=0 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0810130000 definitions=main-0810160233 X-Spam-KB: http://www.Princeton.EDU/spam Message-ID: <48F82836.7080209@mccarty.org.uk> Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:52:54 +0100 Reply-To: Humanist Discussion Group Sender: Humanist Discussion Group From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: 22.278 event: AI and games X-To: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@Princeton.EDU Precedence: list List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Owner: List-Archive: X-pstn-neptune: 0/0/0.00/0 X-pstn-levels: (S:99.90000/99.90000 CV:99.9999 R:95.9108 P:95.9108 M:97.0282 C:98.6951 ) Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 278.

Journals under Threat: A Joint Response from History of Science, Technology and Medicine Editors We live in an age of metrics. All around us, things are being standardized, quantified, measured. Scholars concerned with the work of science and technology must regard this as a fascinating and crucial practical, cultural and intellectual phenomenon. Analysis of the roots and meaning of metrics and metrology has been a preoccupation of much of the best work in our field for the past quarter century at least. As practitioners of the interconnected disciplines that make up the field of science studies we understand how significant, contingent and uncertain can be the process of rendering nature and society in grades, classes and numbers. We now confront a situation in which our own research work is being subjected to putatively precise accountancy by arbitrary and unaccountable agencies. Some may already be aware of the proposed European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH), an initiative originating with the European Science Foundation. The ERIH is an attempt to grade journals in the humanities - including "history and philosophy of science". The initiative proposes a league table of academic journals, with premier, second and third divisions. According to the European Science Foundation, ERIH "aims initially to identify, and gain more visibility for, top-quality European Humanities research published in academic journals in, potentially, all European languages". It is hoped "that ERIH will form the backbone of a fully-fledged research information system for the Humanities". What is meant, however, is that ERIH will provide funding bodies and other agencies in Europe and elsewhere with an allegedly exact measure of research quality. In short, if research is published in a premier league journal it will be recognized as first rate; if it appears somewhere in the lower divisions, it will be rated (and not funded) accordingly. This initiative is entirely defective in conception and execution. Consider the major issues of accountability and transparency. The process of producing the graded list of journals in science studies was overseen by a committee of four (the membership is currently listed at http://www.esf.org/research-areas/humanities/research- infrastructures-including-erih/erih-governance-and-panels/erih-expert- panel s .html). This committee cannot be considered representative. It was not selected in consultation with any of the various disciplinary organizations that currently represent our field such as the European Association for the History of Medicine and Health, the Society for the Social History of Medicine, the British Society for the History of Science, the History of Science Society, the Philosophy of Science Association, the Society for the History of Technology or the Society for Social Studies of Science. Journal editors were only belatedly informed of the process and its relevant criteria or asked to provide any information regarding their publications. No indication hgiven of the means through which the list was compiled; nor how it might be maintained in the future. The ERIH depends on a fundamental misunderstanding of conduct and publication of research in our field, and in the humanities in general. Journals' quality cannot be separated from their contents and their review processes. Great research may be published anywhere and in any language. Truly ground-breaking work may be more likely to appear from marginal, dissident or unexpected sources, rather than from a well-established and entrenched mainstream. Our journals are various, heterogeneous and distinct. Some are aimed at a broad, general and international readership, others are more specialized in their content and implied audience. Their scope and readership say nothing about the quality of their intellectual content. The ERIH, on the other hand, confuses internationality with quality in a way that is particularly prejudicial to specialist and non-English language journals. In a recent report, the British Academy, with judicious understatement, concludes that "the European Reference Index for the Humanities as presently conceived does not represent a reliable way in which metrics of peer-reviewed publications can be constructed" (Peer Review: the Challenges for the Humanities and Social Sciences, September 2007: http://www.britac.ac.uk/reports/peer-review). Such exercises as ERIH can become self- fulfilling prophecies. If such measures as ERIH are adopted as metrics by funding and other agencies, then many in our field will conclude that they have little choice other than to limit their publications to journals in the premier division. We will sustain fewer journals, much less diversity and impoverish our discipline. Along with many others in our field, this Journal has concluded that we want no part of this dangerous and misguided exercise. This joint Editorial is being published in journals across the fields of history of science and science studies as an expression of our collective dissent and our refusal to allow our field to be managed and appraised in this fashion. We have asked the compilers of the ERIH to remove our journals' titles from their lists. Hanne Andersen (Centaurus) Roger Ariew & Moti Feingold (Perspectives on Science) A. K.

In reply to several comments, including Bill Barrow's: Not everyone has the kind of bandwidth you so obviously enjoy. I suppose an entire series of articles could/should be written to explain the differences between those who still use dialup, who are charged by the byte, etc., and those living so high on the hog, or so high on the upper crust, that they should never think of those who live on the other side of the tracks, world or whatever Digitial Divider. I used to have a friend who included a short little video as an kind of introduction, but even the hardcore Geeks asked him not to include that in emails to them, or even on his web pages, at least not without clicking on it to turn it on. For those of us who live without broadband connections, this is a plain enough concern. For those who cannot conceive of world populations without broadband, this is possibly inconceivable-- even with such feedback from the other side of the tracks. After all, unless your child falls for a person from "the other side of the tracks," most people around here are not concerned. As for your desire to call people on the phone, I must admit it that I prefer email to phone calls simply because it is so much more efficient. I can do other things while I am emailing, but not so much while I am on the phone, and email leaves me a nice record of the conversation in case we want to bring someone new into the conversation, we can instantly bring them up to date-- completely, accurately, and without straining our memories. My proposed solution: Have several signature blocks. Use the longest one sparingly. Perhaps in your first message a person receives directly from you, even perhaps with a line for asking them to save your contact information. For listservers, when hundreds of people receive every character you send, it is so much more wasteful, and so much more guaranteed that you are sending to someone with limited bandwidth, such as myself. I don't like applying any pressure on this sort of thing, quite the opposite, I don't approve of peer group pressure at all. However, you may not consider those people without bandwidth as peers, or even worthy of consideration. However, I, myself, who am in constant email communication with people living in portions of the world with limited bandwidths, and by the byte charges, have heard from them just how much the whole thing can be a load on their capabilities, a load that we may hardly notice at all, even myself. After all, even though I am on a dialup, I still send & receive entire books via email all the time, and some still remind me a few times how much that takes out of their systems. Some of them even prefer to send CDs and DVDs via snailmail for getting their eBook contributions online, as with 307 eBooks we just received from half way around the world. Just for the record, and since I haven't sent it here for ages, here is my longest signature block, and even it does not have a phone number, simply because I am not encouraging phone calls-- but I am in the phone books, and it's easy to Google me to find out where I live and work.

Ian Hacking, on a brilliant article entitled Genetics, Biosocial Groups and the Future of Identity , addresses the genetic signatures and challenges of biosociality, and how much his own assessment of others depended on somehow knowing their identities: "I realized how much I depend on knowing to whom I am speaking. I had no reason to think that the respondent was female, thirty, or Chinese. Yet, I wanted to know 'who' she was–and the same for a number of others. But they were rejecting that question. Refusing to choose a society or a biology, they were denying in every gesture the very concept of a biosocial identity." (op.cit., 95) I must say I would belong to the group that would choose either a brief signature or no signature at all, not because of any digital inclusion concerns, but simply because it seems appropriate to the spirit of this age to "deny in every gesture the very concept of a (cyber)social identity". So signatures are also a matter of style... Renata Lemos /teacher, student, mother./// --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:33:37 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Re: 22.277 why brevity In-Reply-To: <4895C668.2020902@mccarty.org.uk> Not to prolong a minor issue, I take some exception to the tone of Michael Hart's message about signature blocks. First of all, I trust that my closing comments about video signatures was recognized as a joke (if someone objected to extra text then a video would clearly be an anathema). But I object to being characterized as someone uncaring about the plight of the dis-enfranchised on the other side of the digital divide, just because I made a case for including a few dozen extra characters of text in a message. I am not that long from using a dial-up connection at home not to realize that bandwidth is a resource. But on the other hand, in a world increasingly dominated by the likes of YouTube, to suggest that the Net is being brought down by my telephone number is not a helpful tack to take. Since I don't have a telephone book for every part of the country and since many people don't have Mr. Hart's on-line presence (good job with Project Gutenberg, by the way!), the ability to quickly call up a previous email and find a colleague's direct number within their institutional bureaucracy is very beneficial, I think, and worth the risk of destroying the Internet as we'd like it to be.

I suppose an entire series of articles could/should be written to explain the differences between those who still use dialup, who are charged by the byte, etc., and those living so high on the hog, or so high on the upper crust, that they should never think of those who live on the other side of the tracks, world or whatever Digitial Divider. I used to have a friend who included a short little video as an kind of introduction, but even the hardcore Geeks asked him not to include that in emails to them, or even on his web pages, at least not without clicking on it to turn it on. For those of us who live without broadband connections, this is a plain enough concern. For those who cannot conceive of world populations without broadband, this is possibly inconceivable-- even with such feedback from the other side of the tracks. After all, unless your child falls for a person from "the other side of the tracks," most people around here are not concerned. As for your desire to call people on the phone, I must admit it that I prefer email to phone calls simply because it is so much more efficient. I can do other things while I am emailing, but not so much while I am on the phone, and email leaves me a nice record of the conversation in case we want to bring someone new into the conversation, we can instantly bring them up to date-- completely, accurately, and without straining our memories. My proposed solution: Have several signature blocks. Use the longest one sparingly. Perhaps in your first message a person receives directly from you, even perhaps with a line for asking them to save your contact information. For listservers, when hundreds of people receive every character you send, it is so much more wasteful, and so much more guaranteed that you are sending to someone with limited bandwidth, such as myself. I don't like applying any pressure on this sort of thing, quite the opposite, I don't approve of peer group pressure at all. However, you may not consider those people without bandwidth as peers, or even worthy of consideration. However, I, myself, who am in constant email communication with people living in portions of the world with limited bandwidths, and by the byte charges, have heard from them just how much the whole thing can be a load on their capabilities, a load that we may hardly notice at all, even myself. After all, even though I am on a dialup, I still send & receive entire books via email all the time, and some still remind me a few times how much that takes out of their systems. Some of them even prefer to send CDs and DVDs via snailmail for getting their eBook contributions online, as with 307 eBooks we just received from half way around the world. Just for the record, and since I haven't sent it here for ages, here is my longest signature block, and even it does not have a phone number, simply because I am not encouraging phone calls-- but I am in the phone books, and it's easy to Google me to find out where I live and work.

Traditionally, controlled languages fall into two major types: those that improve readability for human readers, and those that enable reliable automatic semantic analysis of the language. [...] The second type of languages has a formal logical basis, i.e. they have a formal syntax and semantics, and can be mapped to an existing formal language, such as first-order logic. Thus, those languages can be used as knowledge representation languages, and writing of those languages is supported by fully automatic consistency and redundancy checks, query answering, etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_natural_language) Various controlled natural languages of the second type have been developed by a number of organisations, and have been used in many different application domains, most recently within the semantic web. This workshop is dedicated to discussing the similarities and differences of existing controlled natural languages of the second type, possible improvements to these languages, relations to other knowledge representation languages, tool support, existing and future applications, and further topics of interest.

This sometimes requires recourse to Google (all the more difficult if the author is John Smith or Mary McCarthy or ....) when one wishes to respond off list to some query or suggestion. It's good to know who is talking, and good to know where they are talking from.

My own personal preferences would be that I should NOT address, as below, anyone differently if HE were a SHE, or if Chinese or Aleut, etc., etc., etc. However, in my recent personal experience, I may have cost some person his or her job simply by offering to proofread web pages written by that person's now apparent superior, but of whom I'd not heard previously. This possibily could have been avoided-- if I had previously know enough about the nationalities, in the detail required, to have foreseen such events and thus NOT have tried to do someone a favor who would like resent it.

Then the current truncation of identities, which I only sometimes catch, will cease. Sorry it has taken so long, but the crafting of good software takes time. I would think that the ideal practice in signatures would come from a balance of considerations -- of the reader who is not at all interested in your message or you and so wants to scroll past as quickly as possible, and of the reader who is. But that latter reader, unless in pursuit of you for reasons other than those consistent with the purposes of Humanist, would, I'd think, be best served by a minimal amount of information sufficient to find out who you are and how to get in touch. I'd ask, what does a potted biography say about the person?

LIWC? or, text-analysis in the news Two text-analysis tools from other parts of the academy that were just this morning brought to my attention by a student. 1. Coh-Metrix Has anyone here experimented with this tool (http://cohmetrix.memphis.edu/cohmetrixpr/)? It is described as follows: > Coh-Metrix is a computational tool that produces indices of the > linguistic and discourse representations of a text. These values can > be used in many different ways to investigate the cohesion of the > explicit text and the coherence of the mental representation of the > text. Our definition of cohesion consists of characteristics of the > explicit text that play some role in helping the reader mentally > connect ideas in the text (Graesser, McNamara, & Louwerse, 2003). The > definition of coherence is the subject of much debate. Theoretically, > the coherence of a text is defined by the interaction between > linguistic representations and knowledge representations. When we put > the spotlight on the text, however, coherence can be defined as > characteristics of the text (i.e., aspects of cohesion) that are > likely to contribute to the coherence of the mental representation. > Coh-Metrix provides indices of such cohesion characteristics. http://141.225.213.52/CohMetrixWeb2/HelpFile2.htm The tool has recently been used to analyse (surprise, surprise) the language of the candidates in the US Presidential election (http://wordwatchers.wordpress.com/). It would be particularly interesting if this had been tried on more demanding text or with more demanding questions. 2. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) LIWC (http://liwc.net/liwcdescription.php) seems at first glance to be methodologically much simpler. As far as I can tell from a quick reading, it computes scores based on occurrences of target words pre-defined to belong to different affective categories, plus scores based on counts of sentence length and the like. It depends centrally on a dictionary of 4500 words: > The LIWC2007 Dictionary is the heart of the text analysis strategy. > The default LIWC2007 Dictionary is composed of almost 4,500 words and > word stems. Each word or word stem defines one or more word > categories or subdictionaries. For example, the word cried is part of > five word categories: sadness, negative emotion, overall affect, > verb, and past tense verb. Hence, if it is found in the target text, > each of these five subdictionary scale scores will be incremented. As > in this example, many of the LIWC2007 categories are arranged > hierarchically. All anger words, by definition, will be categorized > as negative emotion and overall emotion words. Note too that word > stems can be captured by the LIWC2007 system. For example, the > LIWC2007 Dictionary includes the stem hungr* which allows for any > target word that matches the first five letters to be counted as an > ingestion word (including hungry, hungrier, hungriest).

It would look very weird to write an email in French to a friend in Paris, and have a signature in English attached at the bottom, being a Brazilian, you see? Also, having such a signature in multiple languages would look awkward. That is why I do not have a standard signature attached to the bottom of every email I send. It does not work for me. I speak and interact in Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian. So Im sorry if I never provided information on my background. There is a short video available on you tube in which you can see an overview of the digital inclusion NGO I helped create here in Brazil and of which Im the current Knowledge Coordinator; Eletrocooperativa. An English translation of the institutional website of the Catholic University of Sao Paulo (PUC SP), where I am currently a first year PhD student, is not available, unfortunately. Its only available in Portuguese.

This sometimes requires recourse to Google (all the more difficult if the author is John Smith or Mary McCarthy or ....) when one wishes to respond off list to some query or suggestion. It's good to know who is talking, and good to know where they are talking from.

My own personal preferences would be that I should NOT address, as below, anyone differently if HE were a SHE, or if Chinese or Aleut, etc., etc., etc. However, in my recent personal experience, I may have cost some person his or her job simply by offering to proofread web pages written by that person's now apparent superior, but of whom I'd not heard previously.

Then the current truncation of identities, which I only sometimes catch, will cease. Sorry it has taken so long, but the crafting of good software takes time. I would think that the ideal practice in signatures would come from a balance of considerations -- of the reader who is not at all interested in your message or you and so wants to scroll past as quickly as possible, and of the reader who is. But that latter reader, unless in pursuit of you for reasons other than those consistent with the purposes of Humanist, would, I'd think, be best served by a minimal amount of information sufficient to find out who you are and how to get in touch. I'd ask, what does a potted biography say about the person?

As linked to the International PhD School in Formal Languages and Applications that was developed at the host institute in the period 2002-2006, LATA 2009 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It will aim at attracting contributions from both classical theory fields and application areas (bioinformatics, systems biology, language technology, artificial intelligence, etc.). SCOPE: Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to: - algebraic language theory - algorithms on automata and words - automata and logic - automata for system analysis and programme verification - automata, concurrency and Petri nets - biomolecular nanotechnology - cellular automata - circuits and networks - combinatorics on words - computability - computational, descriptional, communication and parameterized complexity - data and image compression - decidability questions on words and languages - digital libraries - DNA and other models of bio-inspired computing - document engineering - extended automata - foundations of finite-state technology - fuzzy and rough languages - grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, multidimensional, unification, categorial, etc.) - grammars and automata architectures - grammatical inference and algorithmic learning - graphs and graph transformation - language varieties and semigroups - language-based cryptography - language-theoretic foundations of natural language processing, artificial intelligence and artificial life - mathematical evolutionary genomics - parsing - patterns and codes - power series - quantum, chemical and optical computing - regulated rewriting - string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and bioinformatics - symbolic dynamics - symbolic neural networks - term rewriting - text algorithms - text retrieval, pattern matching and pattern recognition - transducers - trees, tree languages and tree machines - weighted machines S[...] From owner-humanist@Princeton.EDU Thu Oct 23 06:02:46 2008 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@DIGITALHUMANITIES.ORG Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from psmtp.com (exprod7mx234.postini.com [64.18.2.187]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with SMTP id E3BA2257B8 for ; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:02:45 +0000 (GMT) Received: from source ([128.112.133.8]) by exprod7mx234.postini.com ([64.18.6.14]) with SMTP; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 02:02:45 EDT Received: from smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.65]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9N60PnD020397; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 02:00:32 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m9N4Mn09023850; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:59:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 21481106 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:56:06 -0400 Approved-By: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m9N5sAmb000281 for ; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:54:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9N5sAD2015250 for ; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:54:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw3.Princeton.EDU (emfw3.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.100]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9N5s9xM015247 for ; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:54:09 -0400 (EDT) X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1224741248-70f500760000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.129.100:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw3.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 1D0BB140215A for ; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:54:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (c.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.53]) by emfw3.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id aNrHUYhCT3bmCkMR for ; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:54:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=[192.168.0.2]) by c.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1Kst96-0007Dr-4S for humanist@princeton.edu; Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:54:08 +0100 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (Windows/20080914) MIME-Version: 1.0 X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.292 using date arithmetic with proleptic Gregorian calendar?

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:42:12 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: People using date arithmetic with proleptic Gregorian calendar? I'm posting a query in order to pass along some information to Michael Kay, the developer of the Saxon XSLT/XQuery processors. I've just been corresponding with him about a minor bug in Saxon's date handling of negative year values, and he notes, "At some stage I'm going to have to bite the bullet and work out how to implement the change introduced in Schema 1.1 that changes the meaning of negative years. The question is whether anyone is using them seriously enough (i.e. with date arithmetic) to need transition support." The issue is that in the current XML Schema Spec for datatypes (used for example in the TEI Guidelines for things like ), '0001' is the lexical representation of year 1 CE, while '-0001' is the lexical representation of year 1 BCE. There is no year '000' allowed. But the XML Schema working group intends to revise this for spec version 1.1, so that '0000' will represent 1 BCE, '-0001' 2 BCE, etc. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime Michael wants to know how many people out there have live code that does arithmetic on dates/times that would be affected by this change, i.e. if you do any numeric computation on dates/times that might span the CE/BCE boundary. Please reply to me off-list and I'll summarize any feedback for Michael. (Not to discourage anyone from a followup to HUMANIST on the general issue of date arithmetic, etc. Something I'm not personally an expert on, I should add.)

The other recently advertised position of "Digital Humanities Specialist" (that I posted to Humanist last week) remains open and I encourage list members to apply or contact me for more details. Matt -- Matthew Jockers Stanford University http://www.stanford.edu/~mjockers Academic Technology Specialist Department of Art and Art History, Stanford University Libraries Job ID 32321 The Academic Technology Specialist (ATS) collaborates with faculty and graduate students in Studio Art, Art History and Film, developing and deploying innovative technological solutions in support of research, teaching, and art practice. The ATS must demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the ideas that form the foundation of instruction, practice, and research in the arts, holding an MFA in Studio Art or Design, an MS in Computer Science, or a PhD in Art History. The position requires a deep understanding of both the analog and digital realms; appreciating the value of traditional slides, for example, as well as the opportunities afforded by digital media. The ATS will be physically housed within the Art and Art History department in order to assure proximity and availability to faculty, but will report to a manager in the Academic Technology Specialist Program (ATSP). The ATSP is part of Academic Computing, a unit of Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources. Stanford's Academic Technology Specialists work in alignment with the University's commitment to excellence in education and its general vision to improve teaching, learning, and research by implementing and developing new technologies. Responsibilities: The ATS will be required to bring the leadership and technical expertise necessary to envision and execute exceptional, innovative projects. Though the nature of the collaborations will vary, the ATS is expected to research, analyze and evaluate potential projects; provide advice and consultation on technical matters relating to teaching, research and studio practice; and design, develop and execute project plans in coordination with faculty and graduate students. Achieving these goals will often require the ATS to partner with other campus entities. In addition to project-based work, the ATS will evaluate the technology needs of the department overall. This evaluation will serve as a guide both in making personalized recommendations to faculty and in planning for the new Art & Art History building. The ATS will consult with faculty on discipline-specific technology needs to help them acquire and use technology and digital resources, liaising as needed with campus resource providers and campus-wide applications. In addition to working with faculty and staff in Art and Art History, the ATS will spend one day per week participating in activities sponsored by the Academic Technology Specialist program. Integral to the work of the ATS is engaging professionally in related scholarship through publication and/or presentation of research.

Using a play-on-words,it will be shown that sound-based music offers a sense of'co-hear-ence' that collections of music utilising terms such aselectroacoustic music or sonic art have yet to achieve. Brief auralexamples will be presented to support the proposed sound-basedparadigm. It will be proposed that the acknowledgement of sound-basedmusic as a 'supergenre' would be beneficial to this broad musicalcorpus. Recognition would influence both questions of access related tothis body of work as well as its field of studies. One of the mostinteresting results of the recognition of paradigmatic behaviour is thefact that certain established means of classification of music will befound to be largely irrelevant, in particular the traditionalpopular/art music divide. The talk summarises many of the key proposalsfound in the speaker's two books published last year, Understanding theArt of Sound Organization (MIT) and La musique des sons/The Music ofSounds (MINT/Sorbonne) and uses the ElectroAcoustic Resource Site (EARS–www.ears.dmu.ac.uk ) as a key reference. **** Dr Thomas Byrne,Project Officer (Education and Development),An Foras Feasa: The Institute for Research in Irish Historical and Cultural Traditions,Junior Infirmary,South Campus,NUI Maynooth.Email: thomas.l.byrne@nuim.ie Web : www.forasfeasa.ie --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 09:52:16 +0000 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Call for paper of DMAMH'2009 Call for paper of DMAMH'2009 4th Workshop on Digital Media and its Application in Museum & Heritage July 25-27, 2009, Qingdao, China (http://cise.sdkd.net.cn/dmamh) Organized by: VR Committee, China Society of Image and Graphics Hosted by: Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao, China Co-Sponsored by: National Natural Science Foundation of China IS&T Society (pending) General Information: The 4th Workshop on Digital Media and its Application in Museum & Heritage (DMAMH'2009) will be organized by the VR Committee, China Society of Image and Graphics.

From childhood onwards, they learn and play using computers and other technological devices; as they grow, they build and maintain friendships using computers and mobile phones; they interact with one another virtually; and even find critical interpersonal support and therapy using computers, the web, and other technology-enhanced artifacts. The IDC 2009 conference will continue IDC’s tradition of better understanding children’s and youngsters’ needs in relationship to technology, exploring how to create interactive products for and with them, and investigating how technology-mediated experiences affect their life. ICD 2009 will present and discuss the most innovative contributions to research, development, and practice in these areas, gathering the leading minds in the field. As in previous years, IDC 2009 would like to invite researchers to address the wide diversification of technology for young people, from computers to mobile phones to any form of “smart” interactive device, and to consider the requirements of different profiles, in terms of age (from very young children to adolescents) and of psychological, social, or physical needs. In addition, IDC 2009 would like to foster an investigation of technological and methodological issues related not only to learning and play, but also to social awareness of young people in relationship to environment, cultural heritage, cultural roots of minorities, local identity vs. wider community identity. Finally, IDC 2009 would like to explore interaction design for young people in the family context and from an adult’s perspective, e.g., how to help parents understand and master the complexity of a scenario in which technology is more and more part of their children’s life. The program will include full-day and half day workshops, invited talks by prestigious speakers, panels, papers sessions, posters and demos sessions. Social events will complement the scientific program and will be a chance for participants to meet and discuss in the context of a gorgeous informal setting, and to build future collaborations. This conference builds on the successes and high standards of the previous IDC conferences (IDC 2008 in Chicago, US, IDC 2007 in Aalborg, Denmark, IDC 2006 in Tampere, Finland, IDC 2005 in Boulder, USA, IDC 2004 in Maryland, USA, IDC 2003 in Preston, UK and IDC 2002 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands).

However, Semitic languages as a whole are still understudied. The most prominent members of this family are Arabic (and its dialects), Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic, Maltese and Syriac. Their shared ancestry is apparent through pervasive cognate sharing, a rich and productive pattern-based morphology, and similar syntactic constructions. An increasing body of computational linguistics work is starting to appear for both Arabic and Hebrew. Arabic alone, as the largest member of the Semitic family, has been receiving much attention lately via dedicated projects such as MEDAR, as well as workshops and conferences. These include, among others, the Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (ACL 2001, Toulouse, France), the workshop on Arabic Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002, Las Palmas, Canary Islands), a special session on Arabic processing in Traitement Automatique du Langage Naturel (TALN 2004, Fes, Morocco), the NEMLAR Arabic Language Resources and Tools Conference (2004, Cairo, Egypt), The Challenge of Arabic for NLP/MT (October 2006, London, U.K.), and the series of workshops on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages (ACL 1998, Montreal, Canada; ACL 2005, Ann Arbor, USA; and ACL 2007, Prague, Czech Republic) . The increase in attention to Arabic has been coupled with a surge in computational resources for this language, made available to the community by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and by the European Language Resources Association (ELRA/ELDA). Tools and resources for other Semitic languages are being created at a slower rate. While corpora and some tools are necessarily language-specific, ideally there should be more cross-fertilization among research and development efforts for different Semitic languages. The workshop will be an opportunity for the Special Interest Group on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages (the SIG) to meet and discuss future direction in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing approaches to Semitic Languages. Submission: We invite submissions on all Semitic languages, including work describing recent state-of-the-art NLP systems and work leveraging resource and tool creation for the Semitic language family. We especially welcome submissions on work that crosses individual language boundaries, heightens awareness amongst Semitic-language researchers of shared challenges and breakthroughs, and highlights issues and solutions common to all Semitic languages. Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at the Workshop cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the submission page. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, and all submissions will receive three independent reviews. Final decisions on the program will be made by the Program Committee. Submissions will be assessed with respect to appropriateness, clarity, soundness/correctness, meaningful comparison, originality/innovativeness, and impact of ideas or results.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 09:40:49 +0000 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: Cohmetrix/LIWC Dear Willard, I saw both demonstrated at the July IGEL2008 Conference and had a hands on workshop in Coh-Metrix. I haven't tested both on substantials corpora though. I was somewhat impressed by the sheer functional possibilities of Coh-Metrix. Given the right preparation, Coh-Metrix seems to be able to put your texts through about any corpus linguistic algorithm out there. And it seems preparation wasn't very cumbersum. But I wasn't particularly impressed by scalability and robustness. At least I was able to crash the system by a few mean but simple hacker tricks. These border to simple vandalism, but if a system isn't resistant to such simple 'fool-proof' testing, what does this say for the internal stability of the algorithms? But I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. LIWC I only saw demonstrated. It seemed to be able to sort of reliable model the word usage behavior indicative of affective speech (assuming I understood correctly). Cindy Chung sure made for a splendid presentation, with lots of interesting and hilarious conclusions - like: you're bound to be neurotic if you're an over user of the ellipsis (three dots)...

You'll be given the posting address, new interface address, login ID and password. Sometime after that I'll send a notification via the new software to everyone. We (Malgosia Askanas and I) been alpha- and then beta-testing the new software for the last 2-3 weeks. Still I wouldn't be surprised if a few problems turn up along the way. So please be vigilant.

Please note that if you have not used the online submission system, conftool, before it may be useful to familiarise yourself with it in good time. It is possible to input your details before uploading a paper, and you can also withdraw a contribution if you are unhappy with it, so you do not have to wait until everything is ready to begin the process. This should help to avoid last minute submission problems, since we can provide only limited support for users of the system. If you have any queries about submissions, please contact Claire Warwick, the PC Chair, as soon as possible. -- Digital Humanities 2009 https://secure.digitalhumanities.org/ From owner-humanist@Princeton.EDU Wed Oct 29 07:48:46 2008 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@DIGITALHUMANITIES.ORG Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from psmtp.com (exprod7mx197.postini.com [64.18.2.89]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with SMTP id 82E2E24AB4 for ; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:48:46 +0000 (GMT) Received: from source ([128.112.131.112]) by exprod7mx197.postini.com ([64.18.6.14]) with SMTP; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:48:46 PDT Received: from smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.148]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9T7jA5a004743; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:45:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m9T4525A022290; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:45:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 21535212 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:34:59 -0400 Approved-By: willard.mccarty@MCCARTY.ORG.UK Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice05.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.189]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m9T7YMfM026671 for ; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:34:22 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice05.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.189]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9T7YLnu011565 for ; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:34:21 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw2.Princeton.EDU (emfw2.Princeton.EDU [128.112.128.96]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m9T7YLKR011558 for ; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:34:21 -0400 (EDT) X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1225265660-6f0401360000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.128.96:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 912C11DB6F09 for ; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:34:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (c.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.53]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id nwTnCWwf3nHHaht6 for ; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:34:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=[192.168.0.2]) by c.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1Kv5ZL-0007bw-Uh for humanist@princeton.edu; Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:34:20 +0000 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (Windows/20080914) MIME-Version: 1.0 X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.302 new on WWW: Author's Rights; Ubiquity Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Barracuda-Connect: c.painless.aaisp.net.uk[81.187.30.53] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1225265660 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=nai engine=5.3.00 definitions=5417 signatures=474623 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=2 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0810130000 definitions=main-0810290001 X-Spam-KB: http://www.Princeton.EDU/spam Message-ID: <490811F9.3000907@mccarty.org.uk> Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:34:17 +0000 Reply-To: Humanist Discussion Group Sender: Humanist Discussion Group From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: 22.302 new on WWW: Author's Rights; Ubiquity X-To: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@Princeton.EDU Precedence: list List-Help: , List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Owner: List-Archive: X-pstn-neptune: 0/0/0.00/0 X-pstn-levels: (S:99.90000/99.90000 CV:99.9999 R:95.9108 P:95.9108 M:97.0282 C:98.6951 ) Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 302.

It seems as if there is never enough time to get everything done and that the situation only gets worse. Many explanations have been offered for this, but few seem to hit the target as well as Phil Yaffe's explanation. We hope you enjoy and find it provocative. Phil has been a writer and journalist for over four decades and is able to write eloquently about his personal experience with accelerating time.

Sometime within the next day or so everyone now on Humanist will be subscribed to the new list and so will be able to log on to the Member Area, change options, password and so forth. Instructions will be forthcoming for all that. Once everyone is subscribed, then the new mechanism will become active. I will send a first message from it as a test. Although we have tested everything we could think of, actual operation may reveal some bugs. Your patience during the beta-testing time will be appreciated if indeed it is called for. And once the bugs, if any, have been plucked from the relays, Humanist should become a much more regular service -- and my job considerably easier. Fewer excuses to complain, alas. Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org/.

Please send me (tom.elliott@nyu.edu) information about digital projects, publications and computer-aided research in epigraphy. This information will be used to update or inform multiple resources including: * The "ASGLE links" resource (currently out of date): http://www.case.edu/artsci/clsc/asgle/links.html * A section on "digital epigraphy" in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Latin Epigraphy I am interested in any undertaking that involves computational approaches or digital data, whether it has resulted in publication or not. Any subdiscipline of epigraphy (Latin, Greek, other) is of interest. The ASGLE links update will include a software upgrade, and will be carried out in collaboration with the editorial board of Current Epigraphy (http://www.currentepigraphy.org) and the leadership and appropriate committees of the Association Internationale d' Épigraphie Grecque et Latine and of the American Society of Greek and Latin Epigraphy. All information presented in the resulting "new" links collection will be released to the public under terms of a Creative Commons Attribution license so that it can be re-used freely by others.

Sincerely, Lynn Ransom ------------------- Ten years ago today, a private American collector purchased the Archimedes Palimpsest. Since that time he has guided and funded the project to conserve, image, and study the manuscript. After ten years of work, involving the expertise and goodwill of an extraordinary number of people working around the world, the Archimedes Palimpsest Project has released its data. It is a historic dataset, revealing new texts from the ancient world. It is an integrated product, weaving registered images in many wavebands of light with XML transcriptions of the Archimedes and Hyperides texts that are spatially mapped to those images. It has pushed boundaries for the imaging of documents, and relied almost exclusively on current international standards. We hope that this dataset will be a persistent digital resource for the decades to come. We also hope it will be helpful as an example for others who are conducting similar work. It published under a Creative Commons 3.0 attribution license, to ensure ease of access and the potential for widespread use. A complete facsimile of the revealed palimpsested texts is available on Googlebooks as The Archimedes Palimpsest. It is hoped that this is the first of many uses to which the data will be put. For information on the Archimedes Palimpsest Project, please visit: www.archimedespalimpsest.org For the dataset, please visit: www.archimedespalimpsest.net We have set up a discussion forum on the Archimedes Palimpsest Project. Any member can invite anybody else to join. If you want to become a member, please email: wnoel@thewalters.org I would be grateful if you would circulate this to your friends and colleagues. Thank you very much Will Noel The Walters Art Museum October 29th, 2008.

We do not expect that there will be any further deadline extensions beyond this date. Please note that if you have not used the online submission system, conftool, before it may be useful to familiarise yourself with it in good time. It is possible to input your details before uploading a paper, and you can also withdraw a contribution if you are unhappy with it, so you do not have to wait until everything is ready to begin the process. This should help to avoid last minute submission problems, since we can provide only limited support for users of the system.

Fifty fellowships per year are granted. It is certainly possible that a suitable candidate in the digital humanities might be successful and so be able to pursue his or her research project at the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London, for the two years of the fellowship. Please see the following description. Note the deadline for application, 12 January 2009. The first step is to read the online Scheme Notes and other information there carefully. The second step is to develop a research proposal, which ultimately will have to fit within a strict limit of 8,000 characters. Since applicants need to have a sponsor (who is co-applicant and in this case would be my department), this proposal should be developed in consultation with us. The third step, once the proposal has been developed to the satisfaction of both parties, is to make formal application via the Royal Society's e-GAP2 system, https://e-gap.royalsociety.org/Home.aspx. Note that there are a few minor steps, 2a, 2b etc, such as securing referees for your application. If you are interested and have read all the material below and at www.newtonfellowships.org, send me an initial note of intent, with a very brief summary of the research that you would be interested in doing. I will then let you know if I think the application would be worth pursuing. Yours, WM -------------------------- The Newton International Fellowship scheme enables the very best early stage post-doctoral researchers from all over the world to work at UK research institutions for a period of two years. The Fellowships are supported by the three leading academies, including the British Academy. Fellowships must start before 1 September 2009. Financial basis: The Fellowships support subsistence, relocation costs, and research expenses for two years (66K). In addition, every Newton Fellow is eligible for funds in subsequent years to support networking activities with UK-based researchers (60K). An additional 50% of the total value of the award is payable to the host institution. Next steps: Further details are available at http://www.newtonfellowships.org/index.html The closing date for this round is 12th January 2009 so please don't delay in encouraging good candidates to apply, or in inviting colleagues overseas to recommend promising postdoctoral researchers who would be interested in a period of research at King's. -- Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org/.

If you have sent me notice of problems, please be patient while we figure out how to deal with them. The changeover is happening during the busiest week of this term and just prior to a flight to the U.S. to attend a conference. When it rains it pours etc. But from where I sit, the new software looks very good indeed.

How can we create new value through innovations and pull our individual compani es out of the doldrums? In 2004, Frans Johansson publish ed his book, "The Medici Effect," where he discussed how crossing community boundaries leads to innovations, and h e said that the most effective way to create the cross ing is to mix people from the communities in a common setting. Ubiquity editor John Gehl spoke with Johansso n shortly after the book was published. Johansson's wor ds are worth thinking about now as we reflect on what we all must do next.

Koot, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, will investigate how a region of northwest Europe, centered on the North Sea, acquired the characteristics that historians have labeled modern. We will study how the economy of the Dutch Republic rose to preeminence in the new European world economy of the seventeenth century, how Britain acquired this supremacy in the eighteenth century, and how it transformed itself to become an industrial nation. The seminar will meet at the Institute for Historical Research at the University of London and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in Wassenaar (near The Hague) from June 28 to July 31, 2009. NEH will provide a stipend of $3800 for expenses.

The JISC funded Virtual Research Environment for Archaeology (VERA) project (http://vera.rdg.ac.uk) plans to create a suitable Web portal that provides enhanced tools to efficiently document archaeological excavation and its associated finds for the user community. VERA aims to develop utilities that help encapsulate the working practices of current research archaeologists unfamiliar with virtual research environments. The aim of this second workshop is to show what the project has achieved so far, having now had two seasons of excavation at Silchester to test the development of the system, and to discuss more broadly the future of Virtual Research Environments and Archaeology. The day will begin at 11am with talks finishing at around 4:30pm. More details, including a timetable and directions to the university, can be found on the VERA website at: http://vera.rdg.ac.uk/events/winter_workshop_2.php Places are limited and priority will be given to all current IADB users, but there will also be places for other archaeologists interested in the VERA project, so please get in touch by the 26th November if you are interested! I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Daniel, Attractiveness should not be the only criterion adopted to select a suitable typeface for your project -- the actual content of the book and how it is going to be presented (number of columns, frequency of graphic elements such as illustrations, etc) should be the starting point. Also, since different scripts are going to be used, you don't necessarily need a single typeface. You could, for instance, use Minion Pro for the Roman and Greek and Adobe Hebrew for the Jewish (in scholarly circles the script is actually called Jewish, not Hebrew). However, matching typefaces is a much more complicated matter than it may at first seem: one needs to consider factors such as style, weight, x-height, apertures, relative size of bowls and other details that are normally invisible to the untrained eye. You should visit Typophile (http://typophile.com) and post your query there. You'll more than likely receive very good advice from typographers who, unlike me, have set Hebrew texts.

Let me try out on everyone here an historical hypothesis and invite all comers to pick at it for weaknesses. Once upon a time some here can remember, before time-sharing operating systems and networks, dealing with computers was a slow process. One thought in terms of the "turn-around time" between submission of a "job" and getting back the printout. If you were very important the turn-around time could be, say, a couple of hours, otherwise many more, even days. Computers were physically inaccessible and formidable, often housed in a building otherwise dedicated to engineering or physics, kept in rooms inaccessible to ordinary users, huge in size and noisy (because of the forced-air cooling which ran in conduits under the floor). Because of all this, in as close to a causal relationship as we get in the social world, computing came to mean something remote and in opposition to us but very powerful. But even for those who were intimates of the machine, such as Alan Turing, remoteness, opposition and power were characteristic, as Turing's famous test suggests. Much has changed since then, of course. Indeed, I would suggest that our relationship to computing is more a kind of resonance than opposition. Now when one computes one "attends from" the machine to something else, as Polanyi said, in a rapid back-and-forth. Be that as it may, however, much of the talk about computing is as if it were still defined by remoteness, opposition and power, as if computers were still as they were in the 1960s. So my historical hypothesis is that in large measure how we think about computing bears the imprint of early hardware. We are still thinking of it as a matter of telling the machine to do something, the machine doing it and then evaluating the results. So, what if we revised our idea to match what in fact we now have? How would that revised view shape the future?

You seem to imply that computers are now not physically inaccessible, formidable, and housed in separate places which large cooling demands. But, in fact, this is still the case. True, you have on your desktop a computer that allows you to do some things, but more often than not you are using that computer to access websites, databases, servers, which are running (one hopes) on properly maintained servers in a climate and access controlled room elsewhere. The joint academic network through which this message is sent relies on an infrastructure that is still kept remote. A large portion of it runs through our own machine room here in Oxford, and I know I'm nearly deafened by the air conditioning noise when I go in there to tend to one of the servers I occasionally have to kick. I know too that King's has such a room because I'm told that when a water pipe(!!) burst in it last year (or so) the KCL email was down for a week. Your computer in some cases is just the job-submission media; it is if you like the punch card (or the card punch, punch card, and the giving it to the sysadmin to queue up). > Much has changed since then, of course.

I think we still have this remoteness, and those in our fields who are in the position of the early pioneers of computing are still interacting with computers in a similarly remote way. It is just that the basic level of interaction with computers as a tool has risen because we all have them. However, if you are doing cutting edge GRID/e-research computing or similar, you are still submitting your work to some distant computer to process (which then sends it all around the world to various other computers before giving you an answer back). There are many whose computer tasks still take hours if not days, and I think that just because our daily functions with a computer have lost that remoteness, the nature of cutting edge research tasks you are thinking about still fall under the same conception of remote interaction. That remoteness, however, is easier to interact with. However, your point certainly holds with the way we browse the web. It is only with the recent trend for web-based fully functional applications that we are just starting to break down the perspective of our interaction consisting of going to a number of discrete remote sites. Computing applications on smartphones and the like where we all carry a computer with us continually problematise this further; in most cases though we are still accessing services that we view as remote and much software is still on a client/server model. I don't think the idea that we conceive of computing because of a legacy of the way early hardware systems developed, and I think had to develop in that way, is wrong. But I worry that it is an over-simplification and that the vast variety of types of computer usage these days create a plethora of different forms of perceived interaction.

I agree to your view. this imprinting is perhaps responsible of the common manner of presenting the computer as a device allowing to do thing more quickly, more and more quickly. where does this speed bring us is not said or is not interesting. all this "love for speed" (or excitement for speed) could be in opposition to the times when one had to wait hours and days only to read in the printout "sintax error at line 12", and then other hours and days of waiting... >So, what if we revised our idea to match what in fact we now have? How >would that revised view shape the future? i think that having the computer doing things for us more quickly and more precisely than we could, interacting with us, should mean that we have more time to think and more effectively. too trivial, too simple "having time to think more"? it's possible, but i like it. maurizio Maurizio Lana - ricercatore Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia Università del Piemonte Orientale via Manzoni 8, 13100 Vercelli +39 347 7370925 _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php From humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Tue Nov 11 06:36:25 2008 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from woodward.joyent.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with ESMTP id 03B9924CD5; Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:36:25 +0000 (GMT) Received: by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix, from userid 1006) id D5FE224CCC; Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:36:22 +0000 (GMT) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20081111063622.D5FE224CCC@woodward.joyent.us> Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:36:22 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Humanist] 22.313 Latin texts later than 200 AD?

I believe that the idea you are making of computing is still confining its dimension to the PC era. However we are moving far beyond this simple user interface. Let's take a look at William Gibson's latest interview, in which he reassesses what is happening with digital technologies: *WG*: *I wanted a way to visualise the extent to which something has changed since I started writing about information technology. When I coined the word cyberspace, cyberspace was there, and everything else was here. That has reversed itself over the course of my writing. I literally think that cyberspace is now here, and a complete lack of connectivity is now there. If we could see the wireless exchanges of digital information taking place around us, we would be living in a much busier visual landscape. Most of what we do as a society we now either primarily do digitally, in what we used to call cyberspace, or we simultaneously do digitally and in the physical world. If you are driving with a GPS system, you are simultaneously driving your car and manoeuvring your car through a digital construct. I believe that very few of us are aware of the extent to which that has already happened, and I suspect that I'm not aware of it to anywhere near the real extent to which it has happened. * Think about the wireless computing power of your Iphones and blackberrys: how remote can that really be? It's mobile, it's pervasive, and, borrowing a term from Bauman, it's becoming more and more liquid... And I am just talking about the technologies that are already available in the market. If you move into the cutting edge research being made at scientific labs around the world, then you will see that a new revolution based on nano enabled devices is on the verge of coming to existence. So let us not accomodate ourselves to existing perspectives. I agree with Willard in that it is time to starting asking new questions.

The declining enrollments in computer science were already very much on his mind. At that time, they were down 23 percent. Pausch called this a "huge problem". He noted that, even for those committed to teaching programming from the outset, kids programming in Alice were far more engaged than those trying to find Fibonacci numbers. The enrollments have since declined another 25 percent and the problem is even "huger" than before. Randy's ideas about what turns kids on are even more important today.

It would help us enormously if anyone who receives such a message sends me a complaint that specifies (a) the operating system they are using, (b) the mail program, and (c) which version. Sorry about the extra burden. It also turns out that with the change from Listserv and the old software to Mailman and the new it has become quite difficult to allow for the "digest" format. That is, it would be quite expensive to allow for it. So I think it best for us simply not to offer that option any longer. The programmer pointed out to me that we already offer a digest, so it should be possible for recipients to see what they want without scrolling very far down the message.

I saw your original question about Hardware and Interpretation on the same day that I was explaining my work in Natural Language Generation (NLG) to a neighbor. I described the application of creating narrative output for an electronic medical records system, thinking to myself about the language model we had created with Java code. My neighbor listened intently and then asked, "But how does that work with the 0s and 1s?" I had to assume that she had taken a introductory computer class at some point where the notion of binary circuitry was described, and I thought then how far we've come from that concept. That circuitry is still basically the same, but we've built so many layers upon layers of virtual machines on top of the actual hardware, that the notion of "computer hardware" is hardly relevant. I was taken aback by my neighbor's question and redirected the conversation since there was no easy cocktail party answer! When I designed the NLG system, I called it a "narrative engine," in the sense that you put data into the "engine" and get narrative out as a result. The architecture of the narrative engine matches a language model with a grammar, a lexicon, and a set of rules for applying the data to produce natural sentences in English. I never gave a thought to the 1s and 0s, or even the machine code that underlies the "engine." The same can be said about the wireless world. My wireless router at home went out a few weeks ago, and I was lost, being out of touch with the "world." I felt very alienated somehow, not being able to log in and check email, news, and such. But my "smart" cell phone was still connected to its satellite routers, so I really wasn't out of touch. I just had to adapt a bit. Having the immediate ability to connect to wikipedia, to up-to-the-minute news, and stream video as it records events changes our perception of what is "here" vs "there", as Renata says. Personally I don't want to go back and feel pity for folks that haven't yet bought into this new world where so much is instantly available to us.

I think that what we lack the most is students that want to learn a language for themselves rather than being forced to learn a language as part of the general education requirements (or core curriculum). There are very good offerings for learning languages online (I just tested TellMeMore from Auralog and it was quite good) - we could not adopt it because, to be successful, we have to assume that the person taking the course is really interested in learning. Only a very small percentage (less than 10%) are such students - the rest just want to get done with the requirements (I am talking about US students). When I have had interested students, they can learn and they learned a lot even in "dry" and "uninvolving" courses. So my question is, could these technologies generate the so much sought after "interest" of the students? Until now, the only motivating technique I have found effective has been travelling to the countries where these languages are spoken. It's need that advances learning...

But what I was getting at is the experience of the more or less ordinary person who interacts with computing these days. In the mid 1960s, when I got started, no one interacted with the machines except by going to a computing centre and negotiating across an input desk (if you were a user) or in a noisy machine room, with great, hulking cabinets etc. I did both. Then, as the years went on, I passed through each major stage in the development of computing, through terminal access in a computing centre, to a terminal in my study hooked up via an acoustic coupler modem etc etc. Now I sit here, in front of this lovely, quiet machine, in my study miles from the first remote machine, which is to me no more than a ghostly abstraction. My relationship to my machine is so close that if it goes wonky, I feel wonky. Different utterly. I still assert, contra James' message, that so much of our rhetoric about computing has not caught up with the reality. Cultural assimilation of technology takes a long time. What I suggest is that we examine how we talk, e.g. as if Mr Turing's test, which posits a machine on the other side of a barrier, is the right way to think about artificial intelligence. Comments?

The ordinary people weren't using computers in the mid 60s, so if you were then you were then in the same category as those who are now pushing the boundaries of computing. In those boundary-stretching types of research, I think the computing model is still client/server but just in an increasingly distributed way. It isn't that I imagine one computer out there processing my request, but an amorphous cloud of them. At a very basic level ordinary people of the 60s had the same experience as I do in front of my desktop computer today; like me they pressed a key and saw a letter appear before them, the difference was they were using a typewriter. > Now I sit here, in front of this lovely, quiet machine, in my study > miles from the first remote machine, which is to me no more than a > ghostly abstraction. My relationship to my machine is so close that if > it goes wonky, I feel wonky. Different utterly. That is certainly true, and I don't disagree with that aspect of your analogy. And certainly the 1960s ordinary person wouldn't really care that their typewriter ribbon had run out, they'd just be annoyed that it happened in the middle of a letter. But I don't think they'd feel as 'wonky' as we might when we've not checked our email for a few days (or hours in my case). > I still assert, contra James' message, that so much of our rhetoric > about computing has not caught up with the reality.

I don't disagree that our rhetoric hasn't caught up... you are right that it is stuck back in the 60s with then a few additional terms and concepts added here and there. I simply don't think a modern metaphor of computing can only be in opposition to the 1960s client/remoteServer viewpoint. I think that (sometimes accurate) perception of computing needs to exist alongside the views of a personal gadget, an amorphous cloud, clusters networked interactions, etc. For a modern Turing test, we might a imagine whether not only a single individual could be mimicked, but an entire online community of individuals with varying levels and methods of interaction. But I can't think of how you would set up a modern Turing test without there being the perception of the other 'person' or persons being remote in some way, otherwise how does the test work? That's my creative limitations I'm sure. I don't disagree that our interaction with computers has fundamentally changed, I just don't think it has changed to another single form of perceiving it, but multiple, complex and shifting forms. -James -- Dr James Cummings, Research Technologies Service, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 07:50:31 -0600 From: John Laudun Subject: Re: [Humanist] 22.323 hardware and interpretation In-Reply-To: <20081113062445.0A81B26C4A@woodward.joyent.us> > I still assert, contra James' message, that so much of our rhetoric > about computing has not caught up with the reality.

I confess that your first message caught my eye, but as a relative newcomer to this list, I did not feel comfortable jumping into the conversation right away. I think, however, that no one yet has offered up any examples of "what people say (or do) when they talk (and think) about computing," to borrow a phrase from Raymond Carver. I throw in the additional notion of doing because, as a folklorist, I think people's thinking is revealed across a wide spectrum of behavior. At a casual level, I think there must be something like "two cultures of computing." The first culture captures a lot of how most people think about and work with computers -- and I am distinguishing between computers here and other kinds of devices, like cell phones, which are in fact specially purposed, but still very capable, computers, e.g., the iPhone. At this end of the spectrum -- because it may be better to think in terms of a continuum instead of two bounded domains of behavior -- computers are instrumental and locative. People will often say they are "at" the computer or "on" the computer. Also in this domain people will talk about how the computer "won't do what I want it to do," as if it were a faulty and/or complicated tool. It's not that the computer has its own logic, but that it does not have any logic at all or its logic is incorrect. At this moment of conflict of two logics, people will often say, as they will of other complex machines, that the computer "has a mind of its own." Computers can especially be fearsome in this way because they "talk to each other," which is not common to other machines. This is re-doubled by what a friend of mine once noted about his own experience of computers: that they were magic and not machines. For him, a senior folklorist who had traveled all over the world, magic was something where you did not know how the input was transformed into output. E.g., one time a series of clicks would result in one thing and another time, a seemingly different outcome. Machines, for him, produced predictable results. That is, machines operate within the sphere of our comprehension, whereas computers are too complex, "too complicated," for most of us, and, doubling this effect, they seem capable of comprehending us -- which is often how people understand the kind of social engineering or other uses of computers. They do not see human agents on the other side but only the computer itself. This kind of thinking is different from the person who not only do things with a computer but in some ways have come to think with them. I don't know where one moves from one domain to another, and I'm not sure that the disorientation many of us feel when we do not have access to our computers and "their" networks is the best example. The poster who mentioned being without power and having to rely on his cell phone struck a "resonant" chord with me: after Gustave we were without power for a while and the way we kept family abreast of what was happening to us was by me posting to my Twitter account. It's also how we tracked the storm's progress. I'm sorry this post got so long and probably adds so little to the conversation.

We are paying attention, never fear. Very frustrating. Some have enquired about "digests" of Humanist messages again, and in doing so have demonstrated my lack of clarity in the previous message on this subject. Please forgive the repetition. Humanist already digests messages by its software-assisted but ultimately manual system, which groups messages by perceived subject or subject-area. This has in fact been the case for over 20 years. Various "list" systems, such as Listserv and Mailman, automatically digest postings so that recipients get only one bundle at a time, though this is not structured by subject. Messages are simply lumped together. Apparently, with the new list-system Humanist is using (Mailman), it would be significantly difficult and expensive to implement unstructured digesting on top of Humanist's unique structured digesting. The difficulty itself is not so much the problem as the expense, which would have to be covered by the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO), which is a small scholarly organization without much cash. ADHO has been extraordinarily generous so far to fund a professional rewrite of the Humanist system. I doubt very much if there's any money left in the budget to fund additional work to digest on top of digesting. So I am asking those who like the unstructured kind to be content with things as they are. Is this not fair, given the situation?

You'll need a programmer for fedora, I've not used Contentdm because it's not free. I've used dspace.org software and it is pretty standard if labor intensive to customize. I've never heard of stellant, but i checked it out on http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ and it seems fairly normal. If I had to choose a cms-based system, I'd choose drupal. It is easy enough to customize and it has a huge user community which is growing in education. It also has the plugins that would make a digital object repository work fairly easily, almost rising to the ease of eprints.org. > Hi everyone, > > I am about to begin a project dealing with a digital objects > repository.

As James Cummings points out, in the early days of my experiences with computing, > ... you were not a 'more or less ordinary person' > at that point. The ordinary people weren't using computers in the mid > 60s, so if you were then you were then in the same category as those who > are now pushing the boundaries of computing.

It > isn't that I imagine one computer out there processing my request, but > an amorphous cloud of them. My (refined) point is that what computing meant culturally then was different than it is now. True, ordinary people did not encounter machines, but they encountered stories and pictures about them, showing the big machine-rooms, white-coated assistants (of whom I was one) and so forth. Now "computer" means something quite different. I should say that I am asking my questions in order better to understand how scholars in those early days encountered computing, what they made of it, how they conceptualized the machine, its purposes and implications. Their conceptualizations went straight into the professional and para-professional literature. Furthermore, as I have just been reminded, these ideas of computing are still quite deeply rooted in the academy, in the sort of scholars who are most influential shapers of opinion. Those opposed to computing are not so important any more; they're out of circulation or simply keeping their heads down. The type that concern me much more are those who like the stuff but say silly things which are taken as gospel in a positive or negative sense. James goes on, > At a very basic level ordinary people of > the 60s had the same experience as I do in front of my desktop computer > today; like me they pressed a key and saw a letter appear before them, > the difference was they were using a typewriter. This is why the typewriter analogy was so common then, why people like me were hopping up and down about the computer NOT being a typewriter. In talking to colleagues then one of the prevalent confusions I witnessed centred on the fact that the connection between a key and the resultant action was not simple or even determinate (if whatever program crashed). That wedge of indeterminacy or complexity, that bit of artificial intelligence clearly puzzled if not upset people then. The wonkiness that I wrote about (when, now, something happens to my machine) is related, I'd think, but also an important clue to what has changed. James writes that, > For a modern Turing test, > we might a imagine whether not only a single individual could be > mimicked, but an entire online community of individuals with varying > levels and methods of interaction. But I can't think of how you would > set up a modern Turing test without there being the perception of the > other 'person' or persons being remote in some way, otherwise how does > the test work? That's my creative limitations I'm sure. I don't > disagree that our interaction with computers has fundamentally changed, > I just don't think it has changed to another single form of perceiving > it, but multiple, complex and shifting forms. This is an important point -- that we are now dealing with "multiple, complex and shifting forms" of computing in actuality. (They were always in potentia, thanks to Turing's design.) But my point/implicit question here is at a greater level of abstraction. Would a modern Turing, observing the scene without attachment to what the old Turing proposed, even think of such a test? Thinking thus is based on an idea of difference, between us and computing, which is rapidly vanishing. To get back to my earlier, political argument, I think it's crucial to get such questions straight among ourselves because the case still has to be made among our extra-Humanist colleagues. What many of them are hearing and, I infer, thinking can at times be so wrong as to lead a thoughtful person with critical awareness of computing to a deep state of melancholia. A number of very prominent individuals (i.e. those in charge of jobs and funding) are still thinking that the digital humanities, humanities computing or whatever we call our practice, should be folded into the traditional disciplines and so become a set of shrink-wrapped ideas which hordes of busy academics have not time to examine, criticise and develop. We talk of interdisciplinarity yet seem to do everything to guarantee that it will continue to be impossible in any sense worth thinking about. Comments?

In-Reply-To: <20081114100746.D5744263FB@woodward.joyent.us> I would use Eprints.org . It is simple to customize(you probably won't need a programmer, common sense will probably do just fine), free, and meets the standards. You'll need a programmer for fedora, I've not used Contentdm because it's not free. I've used dspace.org software and it is pretty standard if labor intensive to customize. I've never heard of stellant, but i checked it out on http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ and it seems fairly normal. If I had to choose a cms-based system, I'd choose drupal. It is easy enough to customize and it has a huge user community which is growing in education. It also has the plugins that would make a digital object repository work fairly easily, almost rising to the ease of eprints.org. > Hi everyone, > > I am about to begin a project dealing with a digital objects > repository.

The CAA conference has established a strong tradition of international, open communication and exchange that crosses boundaries between archaeologists and colleagues working in quantitative fields such as mathematics and computer science. The conference also regularly attracts students, researchers and practitioners from geography, geomatics, life sciences, physical anthropology, museology, field archaeology and others. In 2009, CAA will co-meet with ECAI, the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (www.ecai.org/ http://www.ecai.org/). It will also offer optional short, introductory courses in the use of equipment (such as 3D scanners), hardware, and software typically used by digital archaeologists today. This Call for Papers invites the submission of abstracts for papers and posters to be presented at the conference. The Scientific Committee (www.caa2009.org/ TopCommittees.cfm http://www.caa2009.org/%20TopCommittees.cfm) has accepted a wide range of proposals for thematic sessions, workshops, and round tables. These have been listed on the conference website at www.caa2009.org http://www.caa2009.org/. Posters can also be presented at the conference in a special area set aside for this purpose. Please submit your abstract for a paper or poster online at: www.caa2009.org/PapersCall.cfm http://www.caa2009.org/PapersCall.cfm. An abstract should be between 300 and 500 words in length, should clearly indicate the reason why your work is original and significant, should contain a short bibliography (if there is important earlier work to cite), should indicate the session(s) in which the paper could appropriately be presented, and should also state whether you are requesting 15 minutes for a short presentation or 25 minutes for a long presentation. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to assign a paper to the session that appears most appropriate, which may sometimes not correspond to the session to which the author(s) applied. The abstracts for posters should provide the same information, except for indication of an appropriate session and length. *The deadline for submission of all abstracts is December 19, 2008*. You will be notified by January 15, 2009 about the decision of the Scientific Committee. It is recommended that travelers needing a visa to visit the United States apply at least 90 days before arriving, or by approximately the fourth week of December. The Scientific Committee will try to expedite decisions on abstract submissions of attendees needing a visa so that they will know whether their abstract has been accepted prior to beginning the visa process. If you need a visa and submit your abstract by December 4, 2008, the Scientific Committee will make every effort to notify you of its decision by December 19, 2008.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:32:24 -0600 From: Brent Nelson Subject: CFP: Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture Call for Papers: Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture Editors Brent Nelson (University of Saskatchewan) and Melissa Terras (University College London) invite submissions for a collection of essays on "Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture" to be published in the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies Series edited by Ray Siemens and William Bowen. This collection of essays will build on the accomplishments of recent scholarship on materiality by bringing together innovative research on the theory and praxis of digitizing material cultures from roughly 500 A.D. to 1700 A.D. Scholars of the medieval and early modern periods have begun to pay more attention to the material world not only as a means of cultural experience, but also as a shaping influence upon culture and society, looking at the world of material objects as both an area of study and a rich source of evidence for interpreting the past. Digital media enable new ways of evoking, representing, recovering, and simulating these materials in non-traditional, non-textual (or para-textual) ways and present new possibilities for recuperating and accumulating material from across vast distances and time, enabling both preservation and comparative analysis that is otherwise impossible or impractical. Digital mediation also poses practical and theoretical challenges, both logistical (such as gaining access to materials) and intellectual (for example, the relationship between text and object). This volume of essays will promote the deployment of digital technologies to the study of material culture by bringing together expertise garnered from complete and current digital projects, while looking forward to new possibilities for digital applications; it will both take stock of the current state of theory and practice and advance new developments in digitization of material culture. The editors welcome submissions from all disciplines on any research that addresses the use of digital means for representing and investigating material culture as expressed in such diverse areas as: � travelers' accounts, navigational charts and cartography � collections and inventories � numismatics, antiquarianism and early archaeology � theatre and staging (props, costumes, stages, theatres) � the visual arts of drawing, painting, sculpture, print making, and architecture � model making � paper making and book printing, production, and binding � manuscripts, emblems, and illustrations � palimpsests and three-dimensional writing � instruments (magic, alchemical, and scientific) � arts and crafts � the anatomical and cultural body We welcome approaches that are practical and/or theoretical, general in application or particular and project-based. Submissions should present fresh advances in methodologies and applications of digital technologies, including but not limited to: � XML and databases and computational interpretation � three-dimensional computer modeling, Second Life and virtual worlds � virtual research environments � mapping technology � image capture, processing, and interpretation � 3-D laser scanning, synchrotron, or X-ray imaging and analysis � artificial intelligence, process modeling, and knowledge representation Papers might address such topics and issues as: � the value of inter-disciplinarity (as between technical and humanist experts) � relationships between image and object; object and text; text and image � the metadata of material culture � curatorial and archival practice � mediating the material object and its textual representations � imaging and data gathering (databases and textbases) � the relationship between the abstract and the material text � haptic, visual, and auditory simulation � tools and techniques for paleographic analysis Enquiries and proposals should be sent to brent.nelson[at]usask.ca by 10 January 2009. Complete essays of 5,000-6,000 words in length will be due on 1 May 2009. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php From humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Wed Nov 19 08:06:48 2008 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from woodward.joyent.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with ESMTP id 407DF2774F; Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:06:48 +0000 (GMT) Received: by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix, from userid 1006) id F2F692773F; Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:06:45 +0000 (GMT) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20081119080645.F2F692773F@woodward.joyent.us> Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:06:45 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Humanist] 22.339 NEH Summer Seminar on the book X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list Reply-To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 339.

King and James K. Bracken of The Ohio State University will direct a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers on continuity and change in the production, dissemination, and reading of Western European books during the 200 years following the advent of printing with movable type. In particular, they plan to pose the governing question of whether the advent of printing was a necessary precondition for the Protestant Reformation. Participants will consider ways in which adherents of different religious faiths shared common ground in exploiting elements such as book layout, typography, illustration, and paratext (e.g., prefaces, glosses, and commentaries) in order to inspire reading, but also to restrict interpretation. Employing key methods of the History of the Book, our investigation will consider how the physical nature of books affected ways in which readers understood and assimilated their intellectual contents. This program is geared to meet the needs of teacher-scholars interested in the literary, political, or cultural history of the Renaissance and/or Reformation, the History of the Book, art history, women's studies, religious studies, bibliography, print culture, library science (including rare book librarians), mass communication, literacy studies, and more. This seminar will meet from 22 June until 24 July 2009. During the first week of this program, we shall visit 1) Antwerp, Belgium, in order to draw on resources including the Plantin-Moretus Museum (the world�s only surviving early modern printing and publishing house) and 2) London, England, in order to attend a rare-book workshop and consider treasures at the British Library. During four weeks at Oxford, where we shall reside at St. Edmund Hall, we plan to draw on the rare book and manuscript holdings of the Bodleian Library and other institutions. Those eligible to apply include citizens of USA who are engaged in teaching at the college or university level and independent scholars who have received the terminal degree in their field (usually the Ph.D.). In addition, non-US citizens who have taught and lived in the USA for at least three years prior to March 2009 are eligible to apply. NEH will provide participants with a stipend of $3,800. Full details and application information are available at http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/king2/Reformationofthebook/. For further information, please contact rankinmc@jmu.edu. The application deadline is March 2, 2009.

In-Reply-To: <20081119075701.15BAA2746D@woodward.joyent.us> Maurizio, I have no specific recommendations for you, other than to say that, after many years of struggling with this issue in several areas, I finally decided to always have a copy of Windows running in VMWare (first on Debian, now on Ubuntu). It often saves me time, since the time needed to configure or test something may not be available at the time I need to run it. A nice side effect is the portability of the VMWare virtual machine -- I've had the same windows virtual machine through several generations of underlying hardware and Linux software. And of course you don't have to use VMWare. VMWare Player is free, but so is VirtualBox (now owned by Sun Microsystems). I hope this helps.

However, a specific recommendation from colleague of mine here who says he uses 'antconc' under ubuntu. http://www.antlab.sci.waseda.ac.jp/antconc_index.html I believe it is free and runs on multiple platforms. My concordancing/word frequency needs are far simpler than real linguists so I tend either just to use normal linux commandline tools (cut, sort, uniq all combine easily to do basic word frequency) or do more structured queries with XQuery against texts in an XML database. But I realise that isn't the kind of thing you want to do. I hope that is of some help.

Help us answer questions including: What are the most successful digital humanities projects, and why? What does the field need? What should students in the public humanities know about technology? What technologies should be available for faculty and students interested in outreach to a public and in opening conversations with communities? The research associate position is available for one or two semesters, starting in July 2009, and may be extended. The research associate will be expected to organize at least one public program during their tenure, as well as to conduct research and participate in the activities of the John Nicholas Brown Center. Among the outcomes of the position might be: a conference on the topic; a series of workshops for universities, museums and cultural organizations; a course for Brown students; an exhibition space designed to allow experimentation with new technologies; new web tools for the public humanities; or a grant proposal outlining a new digital humanities initiative. We welcome proposals for this position. The ideal applicant will have expertise and prior experience working in the technology of public humanities, and an interest in working within an interdisciplinary and public context. A Ph.D. is preferred but not required. Please respond by January 31, 2009, with a c.v. and a 3-5 page proposal outlining your ideas for your tenure in the position.

Innovation is on many minds. We need new products and new services generating new value for our customers and our companies. It is more important than ever to innovate. The problem is that our collective success rate is abysmal -- 4% according to Business Week in August 2005. As we set out on new innovation initiatives, it is a good time to reflect on the illusions that drag our success rates so low. One illusion is that is innovation is a novel ideal or product, another is that those who spend more on R&D get more innovation, and another is that innovation is about great inventions. Michael Schrage of MIT has been challenging these illusions for a long time. He discussed them with Ubiquity editor John Gehl in February 2006. Now is the perfect time to reflect again on what Michael has to say to us about innovation.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:39:05 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: cfp: Poetries and sciences in the 21st Century Call for papers Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.isr-journal.org) “Poetries and sciences in the 21st Century” This is to invite proposals for contributions to a special issue of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews on the topic of “Poetries and sciences in the 21st Century”. The intended aim of this issue is not just to say or even to sketch what we believe to be true of the relationship but also to question our views by considering where they come from, both in the present and in the past, and to speculate on what is to be done. The title of this issue echoes the literary critic I. A. Richards’ Poetries and Sciences, a work whose writing and revisions spanned the middle half of the 20th Century. In the book Richards asked what poetry could be in a world deeply and broadly affected by technoscience. The revolution it has brought about, he argued, is “too drastic to be met by any such half-measures” as promotion of wonder at the marvels of nature (1970: 52-3). What could wonder be but an attitude of ignorance when these marvels have or are assumed to have law-like explanation? Science has neutralized nature, he argued, and so deprived poetry of its original well-spring, “the Magical View of the world” (1970: 50). What could a poet say to those for whom making sense ultimately requires the radically plain style of scientific reasoning? His solution was to cut the language of imagination free from the language of belief, hence from epistemological certainty, implying our philosophical freedom to explore possible worlds. Consider also the psychologist Jerome Bruner’s essay “Possible Castles”, in his Actual Minds, Possible Worlds (1986). Here Bruner argues that philosophical questioning of science (by Thomas Kuhn et al.) has reawakened the ancient, even tired question of the “two cultures” by revealing science itself to be historically contingent. In response to this reawakening he gives us two opposed trajectories for the sciences and the humanities. Both originate in curiosity and in speculation about the world. Both are highly disciplined forms of the human imagination. Both tell us how things are. Both thrive on anomalous relevatory detail. But the sciences move steadily away from ambiguity, Bruner argues, while the humanities move toward increasing “the alternativeness of human possibility” (Bruner 1986: 53). He concludes his essay by quoting Aristotle on the poet’s function: “to describe not the thing that has happened, but a kind of thing that might happen” (Poetics II.9). What matters to the poet, Bruner says, is verisimilitude to conceivable human experience. The poet’s job, we might say, is to expand what is conceivable by finding the right words, whereas the scientist’s is to extend what is explicable by equally audacious but differently directed acts of imagination. Much closer to our time yet again, consider the physicist Robert B. Laughlin’s declaration that as much in physics as in biology we have come out of the reductionism which defined science throughout the 20th Century (2005: 208), creating Richards’ dilemma, into an Age of Emergence. If so, then the question to be rescued from the muddle of “two cultures” is truly vigorous and contemporary. Let us say that, to quote theoretical biologist Robert Rosen, we foreswear the crippling mental habit “of looking only downward toward subsystems, and never upward and outward” (2000: 2), which renders us unable to see emergent organizational principles, of poetry or of life itself. What then might poetry and science have to do with each other? What might that preeminent expression of technoscience, computing, have to say about poetry, and how might it go about the saying? How might our most adventurous theories of poetic discourse inform a computing that works “upward and outward” from its object of study? The issue is intended for ISR 35.1 (March 2010). Submissions of 6,000 to 10,000 words will be due by 1 October 2009. Please send a preliminary proposal of about 500 worlds to the Editor at your earliest convenience.

Schull, from MIT, makes on the relationship of affect and digital cognition is an answer to your last question and also to your previous question about the changes that are occurring in our relationship to digital machines, or to the change in the ontological status of such machines. Her article makes evident that the boundaries between human and digital are getting less and less clear. This kind of approach might resemble a future profile of digital humanities. Digital Gambling: The Coincidence of Desire and Design http://ann.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/597/1/65 By Natasha Dow Schull Abstract: Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Las Vegas among game developers and machine gamblers, I correlate a set of digitally enhanced game features with phenomenological aspects of gamblers' experience, demonstrating the intimate connection between extreme states of subjective absorption in play and design elements that manipulate space and time to accelerate the extraction of money from players. The case of the digital gambling interface exemplifies the tendency of modern capitalism to bring space, time, and money into intensified relation and sheds light on the question of what might or might not be distinctive about the rationalities and libidinal investments of the "digital age." Keywords: technology; ethnography; gambling; culture; digital age; capitalism; modernity What do you think?

Dr." Subject: Processing 1.0 Released Today ANNOUNCING: Processing 1.0 Launch Today, on November 24, 2008, we launch the 1.0 version of the Processing software. Processing is a programming language, development environment, and online community that since 2001 has promoted software literacy within the visual arts. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing quickly developed into a tool for creating finished professional work as well. Processing is a free, open source alternative to proprietary software tools with expensive licenses, making it accessible to schools and individual students. Its open source status encourages the community participation and collaboration that is vital to Processing's growth. Contributors share programs, contribute code, answer questions in the discussion forum, and build libraries to extend the possibilities of the software. The Processing community has written over seventy libraries to facilitate computer vision, data visualization, music, networking, and electronics. Students at hundreds of schools around the world use Processing for classes ranging from middle school math education to undergraduate programming courses to graduate fine arts studios.* At New York University's graduate ITP program, Processing is taught alongside its sister project Arduino and PHP as part of the foundation course for 100 incoming students each year. * At UCLA, undergraduates in the Design | Media Arts program use Processing to learn the concepts and skills needed to imagine the next generation of web sites and video games. * At Lincoln Public Schools in Nebraska and the Phoenix Country Day School in Arizona, middle school teachers are experimenting with Processing to supplement traditional algebra and geometry classes. * Tens of thousands of companies, artists, designers, architects, and researchers use Processing to create an incredibly diverse range of projects. * Design firms such as Motion Theory provide motion graphics created with Processing for the TV commercials of companies like Nike, Budweiser, and Hewlett-Packard. * Bands such as R.E.M., Radiohead, and Modest Mouse have featured animation created with Processing in their music videos. * Publications such as the journal Nature, the New York Times, Seed, and Communications of the ACM have commissioned information graphics created with Processing. * The artist group HeHe used Processing to produce their award-winning Nuage Vert installation, a large-scale public visualization of pollution levels in Helsinki. * The University of Washington's Applied Physics Lab used Processing to create a visualization of a coastal marine ecosystem as a part of the NSF RISE project. * The Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies at Miami University uses Processing to build visualization tools and analyze text for digital humanities research. The Processing software runs on the Mac, Windows, and GNU/Linux platforms. With the click of a button, it exports applets for the Web or standalone applications for Mac, Windows, and GNU/Linux. Graphics from Processing programs may also be exported as PDF, DXF, or TIFF files and many other file formats. Future Processing releases will focus on faster 3D graphics, better video playback and capture, and enhancing the development environment. Some experimental versions of Processing have been adapted to other languages such as JavaScript, ActionScript, Ruby, Python, and Scala; other adaptations bring Processing to platforms like the OpenMoko, iPhone, and OLPC XO-1. Processing was founded by Ben Fry and Casey Reas in 2001 while both were John Maeda's students at the MIT Media Lab. Further development has taken place at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, Carnegie Mellon University, and the UCLA, where Reas is chair of the Department of Design | Media Arts. Miami University, Oblong Industries, and the Rockefeller Foundation have generously contributed funding to the project. The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum (a Smithsonian Institution) included Processing in its National Design Triennial. Works created with Processing were featured prominently in the Design and the Elastic Mind show at the Museum of Modern Art. Numerous design magazines, including Print, Eye, and Creativity, have highlighted the software. For their work on Processing, Fry and Reas received the 2008 Muriel Cooper Prize from the Design Management Institute. The Processing community was awarded the 2005 Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica award and the 2005 Interactive Design Prize from the Tokyo Type Director's Club. The Processing website (http://www.processing.org) includes tutorials, exhibitions, interviews, a complete reference, and hundreds of software examples. The Discourse forum hosts continuous community discussions and dialog with the developers.Download images and more text about Processing: http://www.processing.org/about/processing-1.0.zip Questions and Answers: What is new in Processing 1.0? The most important aspect of this release is its stability. However, we have added many new features during the last few months. They include a new optimized 2D graphics engine, better integration for working with vector files, and the ability to write tools to enhance the development environment. Who uses Processing? Processing is used by a very diverse group of people, from children first exploring computer programming to professional artists, designers, architects, engineers, and scientists. Processing has a shallow learning curve to make writing code easier for beginners, but it also allows more experienced programmers to write sophisticated software. We've seen the number of people using Processing double each year for the last three years. The increased stability of the software and the publication of six related books in the last two years are the likely reasons for this increase. What is the future of Processing? The 1.0 version of Processing focuses on education and software sketching (prototyping). The next major release of the software will focus on professional users while retaining the simplicity that is Processing's trademark. Specifically, future releases will increase the speed of programs that work with video and complex 3D graphics. Books about Processing: Fry, Ben. _Visualizing Data_.

These new ways feature distributed social networks at their core and are proving to be much more popular and often more effective than traditional schooling. Science communities such as faulkes-telescope.comhttp://www.faulkes-telescope.com/ and labrats.org, and massive multiplayer games such as World of Warcraft, are in the vanguard. John Seely Brown and Doug Thomas make an important contribution to understanding what makes these networks so powerful. They use the term disposition to refer to an attitude or stance toward the world that inclines the person toward effective practice. They find that a "questing disposition", which has always been important for inquiry and learning, is encouraged and supported in these vanguard social learning networks. Their work will reward your time and attention.

We would be grateful if you were to report any errors or infelicities you happen notice, but we suspect that work on the transition is quite close to its end. There is therefore no reason to keep Humanist operating at Princeton, so very soon now, by agreement with the Office of Information Technology there, it will cease to exist at Princeton. For years Humanist has been on various organizations' mailing lists; I expect many of these simply post to Humanist at Princeton but do not have a representative who is actually a member. We'd be grateful if you would alert any such you know of so that they can make the change.

In order to be able to develop such descriptions, it is necessary to capture meaningful aspects of context and to group those aspects into meaningful categories. While the notion of ‘context’ has been widely discussed in different research traditions, and various criteria for possible contextual categories have been drawn up and used over the years, the dynamic and multi-modal nature of naturally occurring discourse has long been an issue in many different areas of applied linguistics. In this talk I will explore the role of context and contextual categorisation for the purpose of discourse analysis. I will introduce the Digital Replay System which has been developed at the University of Nottingham to support the analysis and representation of different types of context in relation to language in use. I will then discuss new mechanisms and technologies for capturing aspects of interactions that may be meaningful to the participants in a discourse event, or to the analyst of such discourse. This will include an overview of new types of data that we are now starting to be able to capture in natural settings, including video data and GPS data. The ability to capture such contextually relevant data, and to represent the data in a searchable format, opens up new opportunities for discourse analysis and should enable a much more comprehensive analysis of human communication in social settings. -- Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Humanist, www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist; Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php From humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Sat Nov 29 14:24:54 2008 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from woodward.joyent.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4228428DE3; Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:24:54 +0000 (GMT) Received: by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix, from userid 1006) id DD47A28DDB; Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:24:51 +0000 (GMT) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20081129142451.DD47A28DDB@woodward.joyent.us> Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:24:51 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Humanist] 22.359 cfp: Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list Reply-To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 359. Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:11:42 +0000 From: Melissa Terras Subject: Call for Papers: Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Call for Papers: Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture Editors Brent Nelson (University of Saskatchewan) and Melissa Terras (University College London) invite submissions for a collection of essays on “Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture” to be published in the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies Series edited by Ray Siemens and William Bowen. This collection of essays will build on the accomplishments of recent scholarship on materiality by bringing together innovative research on the theory and praxis of digitizing material cultures from roughly 500 A.D. to 1700 A.D. Scholars of the medieval and early modern periods have begun to pay more attention to the material world not only as a means of cultural experience, but also as a shaping influence upon culture and society, looking at the world of material objects as both an area of study and a rich source of evidence for interpreting the past. Digital media enable new ways of evoking, representing, recovering, and simulating these materials in non-traditional, non-textual (or para-textual) ways and present new possibilities for recuperating and accumulating material from across vast distances and time, enabling both preservation and comparative analysis that is otherwise impossible or impractical. Digital mediation also poses practical and theoretical challenges, both logistical (such as gaining access to materials) and intellectual (for example, the relationship between text and object). This volume of essays will promote the deployment of digital technologies to the study of material culture by bringing together expertise garnered from complete and current digital projects, while looking forward to new possibilities for digital applications; it will both take stock of the current state of theory and practice and advance new developments in digitization of material culture. The editors welcome submissions from all disciplines on any research that addresses the use of digital means for representing and investigating material culture as expressed in such diverse areas as: • travelers’ accounts, navigational charts and cartography • collections and inventories • numismatics, antiquarianism and early archaeology • theatre and staging (props, costumes, stages, theatres) • the visual arts of drawing, painting, sculpture, print making, and architecture • model making • paper making and book printing, production, and binding • manuscripts, emblems, and illustrations • palimpsests and three-dimensional writing • instruments (magic, alchemical, and scientific) • arts and crafts • the anatomical and cultural body We welcome approaches that are practical and/or theoretical, general in application or particular and project-based. Submissions should present fresh advances in methodologies and applications of digital technologies, including but not limited to: • XML and databases and computational interpretation • three-dimensional computer modeling, Second Life and virtual worlds • virtual research environments • mapping technology • image capture, processing, and interpretation • 3-D laser scanning, synchrotron, or X-ray imaging and analysis • artificial intelligence, process modeling, and knowledge representation Papers might address such topics and issues as: • the value of inter-disciplinarity (as between technical and humanist experts) • relationships between image and object; object and text; text and image • the metadata of material culture • curatorial and archival practice • mediating the material object and its textual representations • imaging and data gathering (databases and textbases) • the relationship between the abstract and the material text • haptic, visual, and auditory simulation • tools and techniques for paleographic analysis Enquiries and proposals should be sent to brent.nelson[at]usask.ca by 10 January 2009. Complete essays of 5,000-6,000 words in length will be due on 1 May 2009. _______________________________________________ Melissa M.

The exponential increase in online resources and online collaboration, the range of new online tools for creating and mining many different kinds of data - visual and textual - confront Humanities researchers with an often dizzying array of possibilities. Humanities research environments and communities are changing rapidly under the impact of new digital tools and technologies, producing many different kinds of project and databases, and demanding new kinds of expertise. As VREs take root in Universities or departments, disciplines or individual projects, it becomes ever more important to find ways to link these different scales and kinds of operation. Some of the questions to be addressed by speakers and panels during this one and a half-day workshop include: * What are the benefits of a virtual Collaboratory for Humanities researchers? * What are the chief obstacles to digital research in the Humanities at present? * How can universities best provide eHumanities tools and educate future humanities researchers in their uses? * What problems of interoperability with existing infrastructures confront digital researchers in the Humanities? * How can we manage 'data deluge' and what protocols need to be established? * What are the intellectual and academic issues at stake in digital Humanities research? A programme will be available shortly.

PhiloLine is based on a simple implementation of a sequence alignment algorithm, a generalized technique used in bioinformatics and other disciplines. This implementation performs an all-to-all comparison of a set of documents loaded in PhiloLogic and generates results which can be linked to and from the database. PhiloLine is an experimental implement of our more generalized PAIR (Pairwise Alignment for Intertextual Relations) implementation which functions without PhiloLogic bindings to be released in Winter 2009. Source code, documentationand release notes, links to relevant papers, and a slide show discussing sequence alignment in digital humanities are available at: http://code.google.com/p/text-pair/ PhiloLine, like PhiloLogic and PhiloMine, are open source systems. Please feel free to contact us at the address listed on the site with your comments, complaints, bug reports (yes, there will be bugs), suggestions and, always most gratefully accepted, code.

It turns out that for me to approve each membership request two actions have to be taken on two different web pages. Until yesterday I knew about only one of these and so was happily proceeding on the assumption that I had done all that I needed to do. (To be fair, I was likely told that there were these two actions but forgot.) Mea culpa this time, not the machine's.

The project will address all aspects ranging from safeguarding the original bits from the carrier to offering online services to end-users via a highly portable emulation framework. In addition to producing a software package, the project will deliver understanding about how to integrate emulation-based solutions with an operational electronic deposit system. Existing metadata models will be researched and guidelines will be developed for mapping digital objects to emulated manifestations. The applicant will be working on the metadata aspect of this project and should have a good understanding of data modelling in general and in particular a specific knowledge of bibliographic and/or games data. Applicants must possess at least a good undergraduate degree in Cultural and Heritage Informatics; Information Management / Preservation; Digital Humanities; Library and Information Science; Database Technologies; Computer Science or similar. Relevant research publications and previous research experience with digital libraries would also be advantageous.

Youth and New Media and the Implications for Education Effectiveness of Feedback in an Online Course Journal Articles and Authors' Rights New Publications from EDUCAUSE Models of Digital Scholarly Communication Editor's Note Recommended Reading ...................................................................... YOUTH AND NEW MEDIA AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR EDUCATION "In both friendship-driven and interest-driven online activity, youth create and navigate new forms of expression and rules for social behavior. In the process, young people acquire various forms of technical and media literacy by exploring new interests, tinkering, and 'messing around' with new forms of media." "Living and Learning with New Media: Summary of Findings from the Digital Youth Project" by Mizuko Ito et al. summarizes the findings of a three-year MacArthur Foundation study of 800 young people and their use of new media. The study sought answers to two research questions: "How are new media being integrated into youth practices and agendas?" "How do these practices change the dynamics of youth-adult negotiations over literacy, learning, and authoritative knowledge?" Some of the study's implications for education include: "Rather than seeing socializing and play as hostile to learning, educational programs could be positioned to step in and support moments when youth are motivated to move from friendship-driven to more interest-driven forms of new media use." "Peer-based learning has unique properties that suggest alternatives to formal instruction. . . . the focus of learning and engagement is not defined by institutional accountabilities but rather emerges from kids' interests and everyday social communication." ". . . [R]ather than assuming that education is primarily about preparing for jobs and careers, what would it mean to think of education as a process of guiding kids' participation in public life more generally, a public life that includes social, recreational, and civic engagement?" The paper is available at http://digitalyouth.ischool.berkeley.edu/files/report/digitalyouth-WhitePaper.pdf The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation launched a five-year digital media and learning initiative in 2006 "to help determine how digital media are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life." For more information about the initiative, go to http://www.digitallearning.macfound.org/ or visit the Spotlight blog at http://spotlight.macfound.org/ ...................................................................... EFFECTIVENESS OF FEEDBACK IN AN ONLINE COURSE "While an abundance of research exists on best practices in the face-to-face classroom, the same is not true for online learning. In this new and constantly evolving environment, researchers are just beginning to understand what constitutes effective learning strategies." The paper "Student Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Group and Individualized Feedback in Online Courses" (FIRST MONDAY, vol. 13, no. 11, November 3, 2008), by Phil Ice, et al., reports on a study that examined the effectiveness of instructors' feedback to students in a graduate-level online course. The study revealed that the majority of master's level students "place a much higher value on individualized feedback and believe it is much more effective in helping them understand relevant topics." Doctoral students, however, found group feedback more informative as it "was related to these students' desire to compare and contrast their work with syntheses provided by the instructor." The paper is available at http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/viewArticle/2260/2049 First Monday [ISSN 1396-0466] is an online, peer-reviewed journal whose aim is to publish original articles about the Internet and the global information infrastructure.

MODELS OF DIGITAL SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION "In the spring of 2008, ARL [Association of Research Libraries] engaged Ithaka to conduct an investigation into the range of online resources valued by scholars, paying special attention to those projects that are pushing beyond the boundaries of traditional formats and are considered innovative by the faculty who use them." The results of this study were made available this month in "Current Models of Digital Scholarly Communication: Results of an Investigation Conducted by Ithaka for the Association of Research Libraries" by Nancy L. Maron and K. Kirby Smith. Some of findings include: "[E]xamples of innovative resources can be found across the humanities, social sciences, and scientific/technical/medical subject areas." "Traditions of scholarly culture relating to establishing scholarly legitimacy through credentialing, peer review, and citation metrics exert a powerful force on these innovative online projects." "Some of the resources with the greatest impact are those that have been around a long while. . . . even excellent new digital publications may need years to establish their place in their scholarly community." The report is available at http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/current-models-report.pdf The Association of Research Libraries is a not-for-profit membership organization comprising the leading research libraries in North America.

Registrations must be received by next Monday, 8 December. If you have any questions, please contact Dot Porter (dot.porter@gmail.com). Registration should be made using the link below. The Digital Humanities Observatory will be leading a day and a half introductory Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) workshop at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) on 15-16 December. Led by DHO Director Susan Schreibman and Metadata Manager Dot Porter, the course will provide an introduction to the theory and practice of encoding electronic texts for the humanities. Individuals and teams from all HSIS Consortium institutions are welcome to attend this Introduction to TEI workshop for free. Attendees from non-HSIS Consortium institutions are also welcome, although their registration will be subject to a €100 fee. To register please follow this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=1fkU6pLZXbHzJEPFl6B93A_3d_3d This workshop is designed for individuals embarking on a text encoding project and who would like a better understanding of the philosophy, theory, and practicalities of encoding in XML (Extensible Markup Language) using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines. No previous knowledge of XML and the TEI is necessary. Encoding poetry and prose will be covered for literary and documentary editions. Students will also be introduced to Document Type Definitions (DTDs), schema, and XSLT. Schreibman and Porter are both active in the international TEI community. The workshop is supported by the Moore Institute for Research in Humanities and the Social Sciences at UNI Galway. * * * * * * * * * We are also delighted to announce that advanced encoding workshops will be offered during the Digital Scholarly Editing Spring School at UNI Galway 13-17 April 2009. The Spring School aims to enable Irish researchers newly engaged in digital humanities projects to bring their skills in scholarly editing with new technologies to an intermediate/advanced level through the provision of specialised workshops, masterclasses and project consultations. Advanced workshops will be offered on a number of topics, including the encoding of premodern source. If you feel that you would like to attend an Advanced Encoding Workshop at the Digital Scholarly Editing Spring School, attending an introductory TEI workshop is mandatory.

They described the maps of Napi, the creator of the Blackfoot Indians (aka The Old Man) and his wife (The Old Woman) in Alberta, Canada. I "found" similar Phoenician maps of a male body (Hermes ?) in west Asia and a female body (Aphrodite) in north Africa. *Anthropomorphic Maps* Anthropomorphic maps were generated by configuring the body of a god or goddess over the area to be mapped. The name of each part of that body became the name of the area under that part. This produced a scale 1:1 map-without-paper on which each place name automatically indicated its approximate location and direction with respect to every other place on the same map whose name was produced in this way. You are cordially invited to join the BPMaps discussion group on this topic, a very quiet list that averages less than 2 messages per month. The URL is:http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/BPMaps/ The Challenge: To produce computer software that will find additional body-part maps elsewhere in the world. Available inputs:(1) geographic databases with ancient place names (e.g., the Perseus project). (2) body-part names on Swadesh lists. Unfortunately, the navel is not included. *Attributes of Anthropomorphic Maps* (1) The navel is the center of the body, the center of the map, and usually the center of the map's language community. (2) Place names (toponyms) may be reversed, metathesized, misspelled or euphemized for various reasons: (a) The same part in the same language exists on another map of a different body. Cranium > Mo[n]rocco because Ukraine existed? Aphrodite is looking backwards over her right shoulder. She is bent at her waist (Misr/Mitzraim = MoSNaiM). (b) The left (sinister) part is altered in names for left-right pairs (arms, legs, eyes, ears). DoFeN = side reversed to Nafud in north Arabia. SHvK = thigh with a T-sound for the letter shin = TvK reversed to Kuwait. BeReKH = knee metathesized to Bahrain. (c) Names that represent taboo body parts or functions are reversed or euphemized: Semitic PoS (female pudenda) reverses to yam SooF = sea of reeds (Red Sea). Mare Rubrum (Latin for Red Sea) represented Aphrodite's menstruation CaNa3an (3 = aiyin with a G-sound as in 3aZa = Gaza) is a reversal of Greek gyneco- . Gaza (3aZa) is a reversal of the sounds in ZooG = couple, as in copulation NeGeV (compare NaKeV = slit, aperture, hole, perforation and N'KeiVaH = female) reverses to vagina Sinai = "snatch" is spelled SiNi in Hebrew. The aleph=CHS is intentionally missing. ZaYiN = weapon (a euphemism for male member) is in Sinai as the desert of Zin. (3) Names may be loan-translated due to conquest or language-change. (a) Roxolania (Semitic Ro[chs]SH = head) => Rus *( Ro@SH) => Ukraine (Greek kranion) * Caused by a change in the sound of the aleph from CHS to a glottal stop. (b) Libya (Semitic LeB = heart) => Cyrenaica (Latin cor = heart, compare coronary) => Libya (4) Rivers and bodies of water may be named after bodily excretions: (a) Milk River in Alberta. (b) Red Sea (Latin Mare Rubrum) is Aphrodite's menstruation. (c) Gulf of Aqaba (Semitic QaVaH = digestion/defecation) (5) Internal body parts may represent subdivisions of external parts. (a) Arabic Misr / Hebrew Mitzraim (< TSaR = narrow) = waist (Hebrew MoSNaim). Egypt (< Greek hepato- = liver). Goshen (with a T-sound shin < Semitic QiTN = bean) = bean-shaped kidney. Goshen exported Arabic QuTN = cotton => Latin Gossypium (English gossamer = cotton-like) (b) Atlas mountains < atlas = first cervical vertebra that supports the cranium. (6) Islands near a body's hands may be named for weapons. (a) Trinacria = trident (< Gk tri = three + Semitic NaKaR = to pierce) => Sicily (< VL *sicila < Latin secula = sickle to harvest wheat; compare Semitic SaKiN = knife). The trident was in Neptune / Poseidon's right hand (Italy, like Anatolia < N'TiLas yad = arm being washed by the seas). (b) Greece = reversal of Semitic S'RoG = (weighted) net, held in his left hand. (c) Crete = reversal of targe = small shield (compare English target) also in his left hand. *Aphrodite* The map of Aphrodite is in north Africa. Her face [PaNim] was lost during the 3rd Punic war. The rest of her is still there. She is looking backwards over her right shoulder, so her CRaniuM is reversed at Morocco. It still has a Fez. Her chin [SaNTir] is reversed at Tunisia. The Atlas (anatomy: first cervical vertebra) mountains support her head. Her hair [Sa3aRa] is the Sahara desert. Her backbone [amood SHiDRa] is the Gulf of Sidra. Her heart [LeB] is Libya. Her breast [SHaD] is Chad. Her narrow [TZaR] waist is Misr / Mitzraim. Her liver (Greek hepato-) is Egypt. Cotton (Arabic QuTN, Latin Gossypium) was exported from Goshen, her [QiTNit = bean]-shaped kidney. Her side [TZaD] is Sudan. Her other side [DoFeN] is Dafur. Her left [SMoL] leg is Somalia. [NeGeV] is a reversal of vagina and may be related to [NeKeV] = aperture. [CaNa3aN] was her Latin cunnus (and a reversal of Greek gyneco-). Its name changed to [YiSRa@eL] at the time when [Ya3aKoV] / Jacob "fought with god and men" [Gen 32:29]. This represented a change in sovereignty from Africa to Asia minor. [ YiSRa@eL] is that body part that gives [@oSHeR] = delight to [@eL] = god when it is [YaSHaR] = straight, upright. Changing Jacob's name from [Ya3aKoV] = "ankle; curved, bent" to [YiSRa@eL] = "straight, upright + god" represents an interesting physiological process. *Hermes* The body-part map of Hermes is in Asia minor. kHermes [kHoR = hole + MoSnaim = waist] lived at Mt. kHermon before he moved Mt. Olympus (Greek omphalos = navel). Later his name was reversed to become Latin Mercury. Compare Amerigo Vespucci and America. Compare the biblical king kHiram of Lebanon. His head [Ro@SH] was at Roxolania/Rus, south of Belarus. Its name changed to the Ukraine (Gk kranion = cranium, *not *Slavic u kraina = to/at the border). His throat [GaRGeret] is Georgia. His left shoulder [KaSaF] is the Caspian sea. His right shoulder [@aTZiL] was Euxinus, now the Black Sea. His right arm/hand is being washed [NaTiLat] at Anatolia. His upper arm (Sanskrit irma) at Armenia, biceps (Greek pontiki = muscle) at Pontus, elbow [KiFooF yaD] at Cappadocia, wrist [m'FaReK] at Phrygia, and thumb [BoHeN] at Bithynia were in Anatolia. His heart (Greek cardia) became Kurdistan. His narrow [TZaR] waist is Syria and his navel (Sanskrit nabhila) reverses to LeBaNon. South of Lebanon is the male member (Greek phallus) named Philistina. See [CaNa3aN / YiSRa@eL] above. His buttocks [YeReKH] is Iraq. His thigh [shin-vav-kuf] sounded like TvK and reversed to Kuwait. His knee [BeReKH] is partially reversed in Bahrain. His right [Y'MiN] foot is at Yemen. These two bodies are connected, literally, at Sinai (with an aleph that is not written in Hebrew, compare "snatch", a reversal of [K'NiSah] = entrance), a part of her body that contains the desert of Zin, his "zaiyin". *Aphrodite as an Anthropomorphic Map* The goddess we call Aphrodite Is not just an old Grecian deity. The Phoenicians did make Her a map. It's not fake. Her body is cartograffiti. The Punic war destroyed her face, The Romans left nary a trace. But her hair is still there, In Sahara, that's where. And her chin's a Tunisian place. Mt. Atlas is her first verTebra. Her backbone is now Gulf of Sidra. Her heart is in Libya, Her left leg, Somalia. Her breast is in Chad wearing no bra. The Greeks called her liver Egypt, an' Her kidney was Biblical Goshen. She's bent at her waist, Now Misr-ably placed. The Red Sea was her menstruation. As a kid I did think the Red Sea Was an English map typo: lost E, From Reed Sea in Hebrew. But that could not be true, Mare Rubrum 'twas Latin, B.C. Aphrodite with Hermes did sin, We know this is true 'cause within Her "snatch" we call Sinai His "zaiyin" does still lie. It's known as the desert of Zin.

As a result, the iSchool Podcast was born. At the helm, Bruce Harpham teamed up with fellow students Mark Swartz, Victoria Hill, Dominika Solan, Jessica Rovito, Christina Kim, Robert Keshen, Margaret Lam and Armin Krauss to record and share public lectures on the field of information, broadly understood. Consequently, the project has recorded lectures given at the Toronto Centre for the Book (http://www.library.utoronto.ca/tcb/prog.html) with other events planned for recording. As iSchool Podcast coordinator, Harpham says it is hoped the podcasts will build the iSchool community and provide a way for people to engage with these ideas on their own time and in their own ways. In addition to sharing these lectures with a broad audience, he says the project also provides education to graduate students in how to plan and execute podcasts. Comments on lectures, email suggestions for possible events to record, or questions can be sent to the group's blog (podcasts.ischool.utoronto.ca) or email: ischool.podcast@utoronto.ca. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 17:47:08 +0000 From: ubiquity Subject: UBIQUITY 9-15 December This Week in Ubiquity: December 9 – December 15, 2008 UBIQUITY CLASSICS Long Live the .250 Hitter http://www.acm.org/ubiquity/ The dearth of women in computing is very much on everyone's mind. Elena Strange offers a new perspective on this. She observes that the solid, utility hitters (and players) are the backbone of every baseball team. In playing on her computing teams she has no aspirations for MVP awards and strives for personal excellence in the things she does. She asks her male colleagues to value her as a .250 hitter without holding her to the standard of a .314 hitter. This simple change could open the gates to a flood of women in computing. Elena holds Grace Hopper as the equivalent of the legendary .314 hitter in computing. Hopper told her friends that she was never aspiring to be a legendary leader, but only to do the best possible job with the tasks that were before her. Be personally excellent and interact with people from your heart, said Hopper, and all the rest will take care of itself. You can see in Elena's story the seeds that Grace Hopper planted.

The articles in this issue are intended to provide an overview of how an understanding of music is enriched by the scientific study of it. Musicology, the academic study of music, has always had a distinctly interdisciplinary nature. Strong interaction with the humanities has traditionally included such areas such as literature, arts, history, religion and philosophy. Musicology has likewise been enriched by interdisciplinary contact with the sciences, notably more so in the last few decades. It has become quite acceptable for computer scientists, mathematicians and cognitive scientists to study aspects of music either within their own disciplines or together with musicologists. One reason why this may have happened is a distinctive change of focus in music research. Music is no longer studied in the first place from a ‘structural’ viewpoint, as a thing in itself. Instead, human involvement with music is put at the centre of attention. This is evident in the emergence of a strong research tradition in music perception and cognition, and in the recent involvement of the neurosciences. Music as a social phenomenon, even a means to define one’s personal identity, has attracted attention from sociology, anthropology and evolutionary biology. Music as a commodity has stimulated research from the perspectives of computer science and economics. Music has even become the motivation for interdisciplinary research outside musicology, for example in projects that connect cognition and computing research. Though it is difficult to come up with an accurate estimate, it is clear that today a significant amount of music research is performed outside musicology. Probably the most important challenge such research faces is to bridge the apparent gap between a quantitative or empirical approach, which leads to generic insights, and the individual appreciation of music as an art and the understanding of the uniqueness of ‘musical works’ (to use a convenient expression that is somewhat discredited in recent research). The latter aspect relates to the hardest questions in music research, which concern music and meaning. Music is obviously meaningful to a very large part of humankind. Yet such meaning is subjective, difficult to express, and hard to relate to measurable musical properties. Small wonder that musical meaning was regarded for a long time as an illegitimate question in music research. Yet questions about meaning do not just go away when they are being ignored, as they relate to the fundamental reasons why we want to study at all. Meaning has come back as a central topic in modern musicology, where it is answered using a variety of postmodern philosophical and culture-critical methods. In the sciences, a considerable amount of knowledge has been gathered about how music functions in the human mind and in society. Such knowledge may also be expected to shed some light on problems relating to musical meaning, for example what properties play a role in generating it, how it is perceived, stored and communicated to others, how it depends on training, exposure and cultural background and finally the question why we have music at all. Practical matters For this issue we solicit articles on interdisciplinary music research in the context of the mathematics, computing and the natural and social sciences such as (in no particular order) biology, physics, engineering, medicine, psychoacoustics, neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, sociology, anthropology and linguistics. Each article should provide an engaging account of how our understanding of music is enriched by one or more particular disciplines. Articles should present overviews rather than in-depth studies of a particular problem and should appeal in every case to non-specialists. They must, however, appeal to specialists as well. The inclusion of one or two insightful case-studies within the broader context presented in the article is definitely encouraged. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. Articles may contain black-and-white illustrations (for which authors should seek any necessary permissions). Articles should have a maximum length of 6000 words. For details about format see www.maney.co.uk/journals/notes/isr. All contributions should be sent to Frans Wiering, frans.wiering@cs.uu.nl.

I was particularly struck by these three paragraphs on page 330: "Though some people think that neologisms are the way (pace the Condillacian side of Lavoisier), in the long run the way to capture minds may be to introduce the new pretending to be the old. My model here is the two-step evolution of the nature of the chemical bond. The first conflation is of the simple 19th century line, denoting association, with a shared electron pair in a Lewis structure. This was followed by Pauling’s skillful association of the covalent wave function of the new quantum mechanics with Lewis’ shared pairs, and through that with the 19th century bond. Meanwhile, other signatures of bonding—length, energy, vibrations—reified the chemical bond. Another instance, a very recent one in my community of theoretical chemistry, is of using the supposedly unneeded (if not unreal) orbitals of density functional theory in the same ways as the orbitals of a so-called one electron molecular orbital approach to electronic structure. The latter is a poorer theory, with greater explanatory power, and in it my favorite molecular orbitals play the central role. Still another grafting is that of explanations of electrostatics onto a quantum mechanical calculation which from the start has electrostatics built into it. This is going on, with a vengeance, right now." I am not sure if "capturing minds" is quite the formulation I would use for what we are trying to do in the digital humanities, but the principle in some cases is similar. I am reminded of the passage in the Art of War that says that the best victory is one where the opposing general never even knew there was a conflict. It may be worth noting, however, that one consequence of that kind of success is that the best generals may not appear prominently in the history books. yrs, Stan Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 379. > Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:25:52 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > > > Those here with interests in interdisciplinarity and so how different > disciplines go about their business differently will value a recent > article by the Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann, "What might philosophy of > science look like if chemists built it?", Synthese 155.3 (April 2007): > 321-36.

The Stedman plates represent our first publication of commercial book illustrations engraved by Blake but designed by another artist--in this case, Stedman himself. Enjoy, Will 15 December 2008 The William Blake Archive is pleased to announce the publication of an electronic edition of Blake's sixteen engravings in John Gabriel Stedman's _Narrative, of a Five Years' Expedition, against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam_ (1796). We are presenting two versions of these plates, one with the designs uncolored and one with the designs hand colored. These commercial copy engravings are presented in our Preview mode, one that provides all the features of the Archive except Image Search and Inote (our image annotation program). Stedman's _Narrative_ contains a frontispiece to volume 1, an engraved vignette on the title page of each of the two volumes, and eighty numbered full-page plates (including three maps). Thirteen of the numbered plates are signed by Blake; a further three unsigned plates (7, 12, and 14) have been attributed to Blake by modern scholars. As both title pages indicate, the full-page plates are based on drawings by Stedman. None of the drawings on which Blake based his engravings has been traced, but it is likely that Blake made various minor alterations in Stedman's amateur designs. Blake began work on the Stedman plates in 1791. Stedman visited Blake in June 1794, and subsequently the engraver helped the author with various business matters, very probably including negotiations with the book's publisher, Joseph Johnson. Blake's attitudes towards slavery and colonialism were indebted to Stedman's autobiographical narrative, as is particularly evident in the texts and designs of his illuminated books _Visions of the Daughters of Albion_ and _America_, both dated 1793. Stedman's relationship with a female slave, Joanna, may have influenced Blake's complex representations of gender and sexuality. Most, possibly all, of the large-paper copies issued in 1796 have hand-colored plates that include touches of liquefied gold and silver. This tinting was very probably executed by anonymous commercial colorists hired by Johnson. A second edition was issued in 1806 and reprinted in 1813. Some copies of these two later issues also have hand-colored plates, but in a style different from the 1796 coloring. As always, the William Blake Archive is a free site, imposing no access restrictions and charging no subscription fees. The site is made possible by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the cooperation of the international array of libraries and museums that have generously given us permission to reproduce works from their collections in the Archive.

I was able to find a very similar quote in the following link from a 1978 lecture by Dewey B. Larson. "Not more than five percent of conventional scientific thought has to undergo any significant change, and these major reconstructions are confined to the far-out regions: the realms of the very small, the very large and the very fast, the same regions in which conventional science is encountering its most serious problems." http://www.reciprocalsystem.com/lec/larlect1978.htm I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.

All attempts have failed, and the reference librarians at my university admit defeat. (Against the chance that I had previous posted this query, I searched our database for my name and for the quote but found neither.) Here is the quote as I remember it and what I believe are the references the physicist had in mind. =================================== "Science in the 20th century is about the very large, the very small, the very fast and the very slow." the universe sub-atomic structure relativity evolution and geological change =================================== Can anybody give me a source for that quote?

You would be working closely with colleagues in CCH and in humanities and social science departments. CCH is an academic department in the School of Humanities. It is responsible for undergraduate courses, MA programmes and a PhD. As part of its very active research programme, the Centre is involved in a large number of externally funded collaborative research projects. These posts are intended to support the technical development of a number of these projects. Details about the posts are provided below: ----------------------------------------- [Post 1] TECHNICAL PROJECT OFFICER (Web Application Development). G6/AAV/019/08 Experience in design and in building environments based on database technologies is essential. The department uses primarily Java and J2EE technologies to publish database materials on the web, and knowledge of these technologies is also critical. Web interfaces are developed with the use of well established JavaScript/AJAX frameworks and in accordance with good XHTML and CSS practices, and experience with these are highly desirable. Familiarity with XML and XSLT is desirable. Proven experience in creating integrated research applications using a range of technologies would be a significant advantage. In addition, a good understanding - and preferably experience - of how research is conducted in the humanities and social sciences will be valuable.

The CAA conference has established a strong tradition of international, open communication and exchange that crosses boundaries between archaeologists and colleagues working in quantitative fields such as mathematics and computer science. The conference also regularly attracts students, researchers and practitioners from geography, geomatics, life sciences, physical anthropology, museology, field archaeology and others. In 2009, CAA will co-meet with ECAI, the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (www.ecai.org/ http://www.ecai.org/ ). It will also offer optional short, introductory courses in the use of equipment (such as 3D scanners), hardware, and software typically used by digital archaeologists today. This Call for Papers invites the submission of abstracts for papers and posters to be presented at the conference. The Scientific Committee (www.caa2009.org/ TopCommittees.cfm http://www.caa2009.org/%20TopCommittees.cfm ) has accepted a wide range of proposals for thematic sessions, workshops, and round tables. These have been listed on the conference website at www.caa2009.org http://www.caa2009.org/ . Posters can also be presented at the conference in a special area set aside for this purpose. Please submit your abstract for a paper or poster online at: www.caa2009.org/PapersCall.cfm http://www.caa2009.org/PapersCall.cfm . An abstract should be between 300 and 500 words in length, should clearly indicate the reason why your work is original and significant, should contain a short bibliography (if there is important earlier work to cite), should indicate the session(s) in which the paper could appropriately be presented, and should also state whether you are requesting 15 minutes for a short presentation or 25 minutes for a long presentation. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to assign a paper to the session that appears most appropriate, which may sometimes not correspond to the session to which the author(s) applied. The abstracts for posters should provide the same information, except for indication of an appropriate session and length. *The deadline for submission of all abstracts is December 19, 2008*. You will be notified by January 15, 2009 about the decision of the Scientific Committee. It is recommended that travelers needing a visa to visit the United States apply at least 90 days before arriving, or by approximately the fourth week of December. The Scientific Committee will try to expedite decisions on abstract submissions of attendees needing a visa so that they will know whether their abstract has been accepted prior to beginning the visa process. If you need a visa and submit your abstract by December 19, 2008, the Scientific Committee will make every effort to notify you of its decision by December 22, 2008.

The idea is to set up an opportunity for poets to work with a graphic designer/programmer to create poems that use the images of the Dictionary. None of us feel comfortable assessing the poetry submitted or the portfolio of previous work of people who might take advantage of this opportunity. We would appreciate hearing from people who have experience assessing poetry whether in verse composition courses or in other venues. If you are interested in being part of a small team that assesses and then works with poets please contact me.

Elaine Allen and Jeff Seaman, is the sixth in a series of annual reports on a study conducted by the Babson Survey Research Group for the Sloan Consortium. Using responses from over 2,500 colleges and universities, the study sought answers to several questions on online education: -- How many students are learning online? -- What is the impact of the economy on online enrollments? -- Is online learning strategic? -- What disciplines are best represented online? The complete report is available at http://sloanconsortium.org/publications/survey/pdf/staying_the_course.pdf The Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C) is a consortium of institutions and organizations committed "to help learning organizations continually improve quality, scale, and breadth of their online programs according to their own distinctive missions, so that education will become a part of everyday life, accessible and affordable for anyone, anywhere, at any time, in a wide variety of disciplines." Sloan-C is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

STUDY OF ASYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONOUS E-LEARNING METHODS "The debate about the benefits and limitations of asynchronous and synchronous e-learning seems to have left the initial stage, in which researchers tried to determine the medium that works 'better' -- such studies generally yielded no significant differences. Consequently, instead of trying to determine the best medium, the e-learning community needs an understanding of when, why, and how to use different types of e-learning." In "Asynchronous and Synchronous E-Learning" (EDUCAUSE QUARTERLY, vol. 31, no. 4, October–December 2008), Stefan Hrastinski writes on the "benefits and limitations of asynchronous and synchronous e-learning." He provides useful tables comparing the two to help instructors understand when, why, and how to use these delivery modes.

"ACADEMIA.EDU" NETWORKING SITE Earlier this fall, a team of people from Oxford, Stanford, and Cambridge Universities launched the website, Academia.edu, which does two things: -- It shows academics around the world structured in a "tree" format, displayed according to their departmental and institutional affiliations. -- It enables academics to see news in their area of research. The site's founders are hoping that Academia.edu will eventually list every academic in the world, including faculty members, post-docs, graduate students, and independent researchers. People can add their departments and themselves to the tree. Individual entries can list the academic's research interests, papers and books, websites, talks, courses taught, and CVs.

"Better Learning with Sites and Sound" By Andy Guess INSIDE HIGHER ED, December 3, 2008 http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/12/03/audio "One qualitative study, which surely won't be welcomed by manufacturers of basic word processing software, found that students who create and edit documents using Web-based collaboration tools include more complex visual media in their assignments -- and come away with a better understanding in the process. Another ongoing experiment finds, with statistical significance, that instructors can be more effective in grading students' work if they record their comments directly into documents as audio." ......................................................................

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:38:14 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: solstitial celebrations Dear colleagues, Those relatively new to Humanist may not know that each year at this time I indulge in a long, personal and somewhat whimsical meditation to mark the holidays. A celebratory, generous but still not, I hope, unreasoning mood dominates. On this particular Solstice I find in fact several very good reasons to celebrate. It is true that they are unlikely to impress the taxi driver who asks you what you do for a living, or the person who cuts your hair and wants to know what the social benefits of your research might be. And while these reasons to celebrate are less spiritually transformative than was meant by the Zen master when he said, "I drank a cup of tea and stopped the war", they do help to keep the emotional carborundum at bay, and so us in a better state to answer the hard questions of taxi drivers and cutters of hair -- and to attempt an understanding of how seriously that Zen master meant what he said. My first reason to celebrate is Humanist's new, shiny (but to you almost entirely invisible) vehicle. It replaces an editorial mechanism for processing messages originally designed and implemented by Michael Sperberg-McQueen, then after many years reworked by Malgosia Askanas. Her perl-scripts lasted for quite a while -- more than 8 years, I think it has been. But during this time changes in the complexity of e-mail communications and development of supporting systems made those scripts increasingly inadequate, my job more and more frustrating. Then, over the last many months, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO, www.digitalhumanities.org), Malgosia was paid to rethink, redesign and rebuild all of the mostly invisible infrastructure. Hallelujah! [All those unaffected by British popular culture should skip immediately to the next paragraph. For those who are affected, I intend no X Factor! Rather, as antidote, substitute Jeff Buckley's version, which is much, much better.] Now is the first occasion in some years, I think, that Hanukkah itself begins on the Solstice. I looked up the date because I wanted to send proper greetings to a Jewish friend of mine. This in turn prompted me with extra urgency to make sure the annual Humanist message was sent out on the Solstice. In addition my Muslim neighbours, whose children are deeply fascinated by our Christmas tree, reminded me that Muharram (Islamic New Year) begins on 29 December. Other festivals for very good reason cluster around this time and give varying light in the gloomy darkness. But here I must of course relativize my cozy picture of a gathering of candles in the darkness, connoting unity in the diversity of the world, since the world is in fact round and orbits the sun in a particular way. An Australian colleague, finally handing in a chapter of a book I am editing, commented that now he could go off to enjoy the lazy days of Summer. I still find the reality of a blazing, hot Christmas impossible to get my mind around, having been Downunder only once during the Summer, and then rather further south than the really hot weather reaches. (In mid Summer Tasmania can be quite chilly!) So I hope friends and colleagues in Australasia can forgive all the cozy darkness that has crept into my prose, and perhaps they can contribute some of their warmth. And that's not all. I must also acknowledge my quite inadequate experience of winter darkness in comparison to that of friends in the REAL north. An Australian ex-pat living in Umea, Sweden, once attempted to describe to me, on a very sunny late evening in mid Summer, a typical season of darkness there. He spoke of vivid, hallucinogenic dreams. But then he was Australian and had not lived there all that long. On the home-front geographically speaking there is, I think, good cause to celebrate our growing and developing PhD in Digital Humanities at King's. Its principal constraint is funding, not interest in it from potential students, which is strong, nor the willingness of colleagues in other departments to collaborate. It will surprise no one that the degree is primarily collaborative: a majority of our students with other departments, e.g. Portuguese, History, Byzantine and Modern Greek and the social sciences. But a majority of these have come to the degree because of the "digital humanities" label, and so we have had the pleasure of inviting other departments to participate. There are a few potential applicants in the wings developing their ideas, potentially with English, Computer Science, Philosophy and perhaps Geography. We could easily have 3 or 4 times the number currently enrolled if the funding were in place. We're working on that and on ideas, such as the "semi-distance PhD" I've mentioned before. There now can be no doubt that our subject is capable of vigorously healthy research at the most advanced degree level. Put that under your tree! And there is no end to the intellectual ferment the combination of computing and the humanities brings to the older disciplines, as our colleagues in other departments will attest. Two of the areas that particularly concern me are the development of an historical sense in the field, with the light that throws on the affected disciplines, and the particular way we do interdisciplinarity. I'm astonished at how much raw historical material there is. Even a rather shallow sampling turns up many if not most of the intellectual concerns on our plate today and exhibits great intelligence and imagination. Such has been our progress-driven habit of mind that we've often lost sight of such valuable work. It's not so much that we end up "reinventing the wheel" (an example of a misleading metaphor, as if ideas, and ideas in software, were stable objects like wheels) but that we get caught up in an endless cycle of forgetting. As a result we have great difficulty developing a disciplinary sense of ourselves and so a helpful sense of our disciplinary relations. Every once in a while someone notices that we've not had an IMPACT on a particular field of research. (Feel the billiard balls collide, o wooden heads!) Such complainers seem oblivious to the long history of complaint, dating back to the early 1960s, and so miss the highly intelligent responses to these litanies of failure, the very useful misunderstandings they illuminate and the parallel phenomena in the wider culture. It's a curious shtick but, as I say, helpful as a clue. I digress away from celebration and so beg your forgiveness. Allow me to return via a problem I find particularly fascinating at the moment: the relation of progress (characteristic of technology) to questioning (characteristic of the humanities). The fact that the former cannot be denied seems new in the humanities, at least since codex technology became part of the furniture. Recently a classicist friend of mine wanted to know why it was that I keep going on about changing things. Did I have imperial ambitions? he asked. This got me to thinking about the origins and effects of my progress-affected field, and especially about the fact that new tools actually can augment the intelligence with which we begin and so enable us to think in new ways. So I began to wonder about what the leaven of progress is doing to the bread we bake. In sum the imaginative richness of our own brief past is surely a fine Christmas present to be unwrapped -- again and again. Is there room under the tree? And finally in my catalogue is a great cause to celebrate, directly for us in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College London, indirectly for the digital humanities as a whole: the result of the U.K. 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, to which we were submitted as an academic department for the first time in this round. The details are complex, but suffice it to say that as these things are measured our field now has robust standing among the disciplines in the U.K. de jure as well as de facto. Whatever one may say about such processes -- indeed, there is much to say both positive and negative -- gaining recognition of this kind allows many good things to happen that would otherwise have little chance nowadays. (Thank you Harold!) Again, being a northern hemispherean, what strikes me is the playing off of our cozy warmth and good cheer against the chill and, and on this day, darkest time of the year. Yes, we are all, as John Donne said, riding westward. But what a ride! Perhaps life would be better at this moment on a beach somewhere in the sun. I certainly hope it is good for computing humanists enjoying such circumstances (with a fast wireless connection, of course). Anyhow, for the twenty-second time I wish you all a happy, merry Christmas, a joyous Hanukkah, a hopeful Muharram and as many sweet etceteras as there are at hand to be enjoyed.

The conference this year aims to promote discussion around dynamic networks of knowledge and practice, new digital communities of knowledge and practice, engaging users and digitisation of cultural heritage. The conference is hosted by Queen's University, Belfast, the Royal Irish Academy and Swansea University in partnership with the National Library of Wales. It will take place from Sunday 6th September to Wednesday 9th September 2009. It will be held at QUB with its innovative spaces, fantastic architecture and state-of-the-art Sonic Laboratory. The conference will: * Establish new digital communities of knowledge exchange * Promote discussion around the impact of data on scholarship and wider society * Enquire into how innovations become mainstream through mutation, imitation, and the 're-invention of the wheel' * Advance discussion around digitisation of scholarly editions and cultural heritage * Evolve new approaches to the digital representation of time, space and locality * Debate burning issues in digital preservation and sustainability * Investigate user engagement and social participation * Explore the impact of narrative and design in the Arts and Humanities on ICT and vice versa * Promote discussion around education and the digital humanities and arts * Share the theory and practice of creating and documenting digital arts Keynote speakers will include: * Steve Benford, Professor of Collaborative Computing, University of Nottingham * Andrew Green, Librarian of Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / National Library of Wales * Jane Ohlmeyer, Professor of History, Trinity College Dublin. We invite original papers, panels, installations, performances, round-tables, workshop sessions and other events that address the conference themes, with attention to 'contexts, crises, futures'. We particularly encourage proposals for innovative and non-traditional session formats such as 'town hall' discussions and hands-on workshops that will help to foster 'dynamic networks of knowledge and practice'. DHRA 2009 will also include a round-table event with facilities for enabling international participants to present papers via Second Life, and a further session dedicated to the discussion of Multi-user Virtual Environments such as Second Life. Short presentations, for example of work-in-progress, are also invited for an informal, rapid (Quickfire) slideshow and discussion event (please see DRHA website for further details). Anyone wishing to submit a performance or installation should visit http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/main.php?page=soniclab and http://www.mu.qub.ac.uk/AboutUs/Facilities/PerformanceSpaces/ for further information about the spaces and technical equipment and support available. Spaces include the Sonic Arts Laboratory, the Harty Room and the McMordie Hall. All proposals, whether papers, performance or other, should reflect the critical engagement at the heart of DRHA. The deadline for submissions will be 31 March 2009. Abstracts should be between 600 - 1000 words. A selection of submissions will be published in The Edinburgh University Press International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing. On Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September, QUB with the Digital Humanities Observatory and King's College London, will offer a series of short, pre-conference, hands-on courses in TEI, GIS and Visualisation. Further details and prices will appear on the DHRA 2009 website.

I am still here (PhD finished in the fall 2009) and this dark winter I am still experiencing "vivid, hallucinogenic dreams"- I am not alone either having had several locals say the same thing to me over the years. In winter we dream a lot (with around three hours of twilight in the middle of the day in December and January) I seem to remember it was Mircea Eliade who drew a connection between cultures where shamanism played a central role and regions that were conjusive to sensory deprivation: tundra, desert, rainforest and the long nights of winter in the arctic. While shamanic practices seem fairly widespread historically, I like to think that the extreme climate here is having an inspirational effect on me. On that note. Best wishes for the New Year from the land of the midnight sun (and the long winter night). /Jim (an Australian in Umeå) > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 392. > Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:38:14 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > > > > Dear colleagues, > > Those relatively new to Humanist may not know that each year at this > time I indulge in a long, personal and somewhat whimsical meditation to > mark the holidays.

There is substantial evidence that people learn in virtual worlds. While most learning in these spaces is informal, existing outside the school curriculum, formalised learning environments have also been developed in textual worlds, MOOs, MUSHes, MUDs and multi-media spaces like ActiveWorlds(R), Second Life(R), World of Warcraft (R) to support educational goals in primary, secondary, higher and lifelong learning contexts. The extensive writings on virtual reality and virtual worlds over the past four decades have covered the breadth of the phenomena and experiences of learning via CMC in these situated spaces; this call for papers seeks scholarship that builds upon and extends those accounts. We seek research that deals with learning and research in social networks or among friends, learning through play, learning through artistic creation and learning in unconventional virtual realities. We seek papers that examine learning or modes of learning that occurs in unexpected ways. For example, workshops have been transformed with the inclusion of new materials, like clay or other art equipment, encouraging participants to express themselves through different modes of communication. Such physical practices mirror the opportunities afforded in virtual environments, increasing potential outcomes by breaking down borders of expression, creating a place for play, and expanding discourse. We seek research that aims to capture similar alternative practices in learning within virtual worlds. While all forms of scholarship and research are welcome, we prefer theoretically and empirically grounded study in the social or behavioral sciences. We seek a special issue that exemplifies methodological pluralism. The use of visual evidence and representations is also encouraged. Submission guidelines: This special issue is edited by Jeremy Hunsinger and Aleks Krotoski. Please contact them at jhuns@vt.edu and akrotoski@yahoo.com to discuss your submissions. The editors welcome contributions from new researchers and those who are more well-established. Submitted manuscripts will be subject to peer review. Length of papers will vary as per disciplinary expectations, but we encourage papers of around 6000 words. Short discussion papers of 2000 words on relevant subjects are also welcomed for the 'Viewpoints' section. Learning, Media and Technology submission guidelines and referencing styles will be followed [see: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17439884.asp ] The guest editors will consider papers received by March 15, 2009. Fewer than 10 papers will be accepted. The special issue will be published in early 2010. Please send papers to jhuns@vt.edu, clearly indicating that your submission is for the Special Issue on learning in virtual worlds.

In the talk, Ihde argues that trust is one of the most important and essential features of the modern world. Without it, most human activities - from interpersonal relationships and mailing letters to boarding aircraft and taking medicines - would grind to a halt like machines drained of oil. Many institutions, from science to religion, have been shaken recently by controversies involving trust. Yet trust is difficult to examine in a comprehensive and systematic way. The Trust Institute at Stony Brook seeks to carry out an innovative and interdisciplinary inquiry into trust and its role in human life. Listen Ihde's talk at http://podcast.ic.sunysb.edu:16080/weblog/templeton/?permalink=DonIhde-TrustandTechnology.html by clicking "Podcast: TRL_Ihde 2.m4a" on the above site. Don Ihde's talk is informative and constructive in the areas of philosophy of technologies. Regards, Arun --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 13:48:01 +0000 From: Arun Kumar Tripathi Subject: Albert Borgmann on 'The Growth of Information and the Texture of Reality' Dear Prof. McCarty: "The unintended consequences and dangers of technologization are real, and they deserve reflections and replies. Meanwhile the deeper danger of cultural and moral devastation goes unnoticed and is to some extent eclipsed by attention to the overt dangers (which, to repeat, need to be addressed forthwith)." (Albert Borgmann). Albert Borgmann, somewhat in the spirit of French technologist Jacques Ellul, finds technology to be a double-edged sword. He writes that while technology conspires against the gospel, it also bears possibilities of contributing to a rich public life of celebration and personal life of focal practices. However, the commodification that accompanies technology makes a promise of liberation that it is unable to keep. Borgmann outlines contingent aspects of social and political life that remain open to fundamental choices, which can lead us to engagement with our reality. As argued in Power Failure: Christianity in the Culture of Technology (2003), technology is shown to be a moral issue with implications of disengagement and loss of meaning. In his book, Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility for Our Country (Uni. of Chicago Press, 2007), Borgmann demonstrates, in the words of Robert Bellah, "how an increasing tendency for Americans to live in a virtual world undermines our very understanding of ethical responsibility. In a dangerous world and an often unhappy society we need to face reality (or 'get real' as current jargon would put it) if we are to do the right thing." Albert Borgmann argues that modern philosophy has come to see practice as a primary element of human activity, as opposed to the largely theoretical concerns of traditional Western philosophy. Marx, of course, famously argued that material conditions (esp. economic practices and structures) form human being. However, Borgmann suggests that philosophy is still blind to the characteristics of contemporary material culture. Our reality today is dominated by the device paradigm, in which everything bears a surface functionality that distances us from a real human interaction with the other and our environment. Philosophers point out the liabilities, what happens when technology moves beyond lifting genuine burdens and starts freeing us from burdens that we should not want to be rid of, says Albert Borgmann. Albert Borgmann is Regents Professor of Philosophy at the University of Montana, Missoula where he has taught since 1970. On the eve of event of "The Habitat of Information: Social and Organizational Consequences of Information Growth" (The 8th Social Study of ICT workshop (SSIT8) at London School of Economics, 25 April 2008, Professor Albert Borgmann gave a talk on "The Growth of Information and the Texture of Reality" where he argues that traditionally information has served to illuminate and enrich our world. It has lent the texture of reality definition and splendor. Writing and printing have increased the benefits of information. So have the explosive developments of computers, communication, and media. But they have also rendered the texture of reality brittle and opaque. Its surface has become both glamorous and ambiguous, its substructure both powerful and impenetrable. We feel overwhelmed by information commodities and ruled by the information machinery. The texture of reality can become newly luminous and intelligible if we balance the glamour of its surface with physical and social engagement and lift the opaqueness of its underside through technological literacy. The growth of information will then find its appropriate channels and levels and fulfill its promise of clarity and prosperity. Borgmann's talk is available at http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/informationSystems/newsAndEvents/podcasts/borgmann.mp3 The talk of Borgmann's video is available at http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/informationSystems/newsAndEvents/2008events/SSIT8/borgmannVideo.htm If any humanities member wants to read Borgmann's essay on 'The Growth of Information and the Texture of Reality'--please let me know.

It has always seemed the to me the only true winter experience: the dark freezing cold snowey outside (the outside was never a town, but the edge of a small village, isolated in a vast expanse, which I would cross in a sledge - and the cozy warmth of a wood fire inside, the hot grog or wine - the room smelling of cinnamon and cloves, the winter pastry the Christmas Tree is part of that, but I'm perfectly happy with the Menora prescribed by my faith. Ironically, neither was born in the Northern winter, but in the chilly, but seldom snowey hills of Judea. Yet, (born and raised in Vienna and the Netherlands) I was shocked by the distinctly mediterranean atmosphere on my first visit to the Nazareth Christmas market. So like you, Jim I have dreamt, and am still dreaming of a winter in the far North - mostly day dreaming - but I can easily see these dreams morph into the local "vivid, hallucinogenic dreams" Happy Solstice from Jerusalem, Gerda Elata-Alster ----- Original Message ----- From: "Humanist Discussion Group" To: Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 12:26 PM > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 395. > Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 19:28:09 +0100 (CET) > From: Jim Barrett > Subject: Re: [Humanist] 22.392 solstitial celebrations 2008 > In-Reply-To: <20081221094723.CD62F2A9E6@woodward.joyent.us> > > > Dear Willard, > I also remember our walk to the antiquarian book shop that fine day here > in Umeå (Latitude: 63° 50', North). > I am still here (PhD finished in the fall 2009) and this dark winter I am > still experiencing "vivid, hallucinogenic dreams"- I am not alone either > having had several locals say the same thing to me over the years.

Here the term "modal logics" is conceived broadly, including temporal logic, description logic, guarded fragments, conditional logic, temporal and hybrid logic, etc. To stimulate interaction and transfer of expertise, M4M will feature a number of invited talks by leading scientists, research presentations aimed at highlighting new developments, and submissions of system demonstrations. We strongly encourage young researchers and students to submit papers, especially for experimental and prototypical software tools which are related to modal logics.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 09:52:41 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: writing and pioneering At the beginning of her astonishingly resonant book, Open Fields: Science in cultural encounter (Oxford, 1996), Dame Gillian Beer writes about Keats and Darwin -- the poet's insistence in "The Fall of Hyperion" that "only the written gives any hope of survival", and the naturalist's transcribing of what he saw. "Darwin, energetically observing and writing before the establishment of genetic theory," she says, "had to have the patience of the pioneer -- the patience not to know for sure within his lifetime 'Whether the dream now purposed to rehearse / Be poet's or fanatic's', whether it would prove to be authentic or delusive." (p. 14). So, for us a question and a consolation of sorts. The question is, does the same hold true for the digital humanities, that "only the written gives any hope of survival"? Given the short life-span of software artefacts, our ignorance of how to read them and, as Peter Galison has noted for non-verbal artefacts generally, their polysemous existence beyond the meaning assigned by their creators, can any such artefact ever stand for itself wholly without written commentary and explanation? Solid work in the history of science and technology gives us the intriguing idea of "thing knowledge", but in any given case, can we say what that knowledge is without using words? Is it knowledge without words? (Those here who know their Swift will recall in Gulliver's Travels, book 3, chapter 5, his description of the Laputan "Scheme for entirely abolishing all Words whatsoever": "that since Words are only Names for Things, it would be more convenient for all Men to carry about them, such Things as were necessary to express the particular Business they are to discourse on.... which hath only this Inconvenience attending it, that if a Man's Business be very great, and of various kinds, he must be obliged in Proportion to carry a greater bundle of Things upon his Back, unless he can afford one or two strong Servants to attend him. I have often beheld two of those Sages almost sinking under the Weight of their Packs, like Pedlars among us; who, when they met in the Streets, would lay down their Loads, open their Sacks, and hold Conversation for an Hour together; then put up their Implements, help each other to resume their Burthens, and take their Leave." Of course a laptop with a fair sized hard disc isn't nearly as heavy.) The consolation is, I suppose, that we may look back at those, like Darwin, who were as uncertain of what they said and did as we are of what we say and do. Often I contemplate by example what a mature discipline allows its practitioners to do. We can only hope, I suppose, for a magnanimous audience and do what we can to cultivate it. Comments?

I believe that we do have categories of artifacts that both reify knowledge and communicate it. Hand tools are an example. Not all hand tools, certainly, can be interpreted outside their historical context. Anyone doubting that statement need only visit one of the Saskatchewan Western Development Museums (although perhaps not their web site). But in general, if I have opposable thumbs and an elbow, which I do happen to have, then a hammer seems fairly straightforward to interpret. Pre-existing knowledge about nails does help. Another example is art. Certainly not all art is accessible without some training in how to look at it, but a kind of knowledge is often available by direct observation. I would argue that the same is true for photography and architecture. I think there are two questions: is there knowledge without words? and is the knowledge without words the same as the knowledge with words? My answers would be yes and no, respectively. For some categories the two kinds of knowledge may be closer than for others, and for every category there is the option of adding knowledge with words to the knowledge without words, as we do in art history, for example. There are also cases like literary studies, where we add knowledge with words to knowledge with words, but that is a different case. Now the main issue for digital humanists is where in this terrain to place artifacts such as software, interfaces, visualizations, and prototypes. Lev Manovich at DH2007 famously stood up and said "a prototype is a theory. Stop apologizing for your prototypes." I have heard similar statements from others in our community. If we take that principle as a way forward, then it seems to me that we haven't really found a solution to a conundrum, but we do have an opportunity by analogy (or identity, depending on how strongly you interpret Manovich). I would say that theories are for discussing, strengthening or weakening with evidence, testing in various ways, inventing experiments for, and also using as lenses to turn onto other material, in order both to frame specifics within the general, and to inform in turn our understanding of the general. We can also set one theory against another for comparison. We can try our hand at taking thesis and antithesis and reaching synthesis. If a prototype is a theory, then we should be able to do all those things with one. yrs, Stan Ruecker Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 403. > Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 09:52:41 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > > > At the beginning of her astonishingly resonant book, Open Fields: > Science in cultural encounter (Oxford, 1996), Dame Gillian Beer writes > about Keats and Darwin -- the poet's insistence in "The Fall of > Hyperion" that "only the written gives any hope of survival", and the > naturalist's transcribing of what he saw.

One is about the degree to which physical = objects, such as hand-tools, communicate what they're about without = verbal gloss, the other about prototypes as theories. To heft a hammer is to understand its basic purpose almost immediately. = The fist at the end of the arm is almost a hammer. A stone gripped in = the hand is even closer. Any heavy, hard, proportional object tied to = the end of a stick is a hammer, "An instrument having a hard solid head, = usually of metal, set transversely to the handle, used for beating, = breaking, driving nails, etc." (OED, where the etymological note goes on = to say, "The Norse sense =91crag=92, and possible relationship to Slav. = kamy, Russ. kamen stone, have suggested that the word originally meant = =91stone weapon=92."). A caliper mimics the opposed digits and so needs = little glossing. Chopsticks require, I'd think, someone using them to = show one what they are for and how to use them. And we can go on from = there, to objects that definitely require words, spoken and/or written. = (A piece of Ikea furniture often features humorously to illustrate the = need for a perspicuous symbolic language.) And when we go from = knowledge-of-use to meaning? What about Thor's hammer? The hammer and = sickle? About prototypes as theories -- Manovich's point, which Stan cites. It = seems to me that his declaration, "a prototype is a theory", is = circular. The work it seems to do is first to assert by implication that = the term "prototype" is poorly understood ("a prototype is"), then to = secure its understanding by identifying it with something that is well = understood ("a prototype is a theory"). The main problem is, however, = with the word "theory", which not at all well understood in this = context. It is marvellously polysemous and adaptable, having in fact = many different meanings across the disciplines. So before we all relax, = breathe a sigh of relief and get on with making prototypes, we need to = ponder what exactly we mean by "theory". What does a "theory" in our = field look like? What is a "theory" not? An understanding of this term = that makes everything qualify won't be very useful to us. It's a rather different thing to say that something, like a prototype, = is "theoretical", i.e. that it can be involved in the activity of = "theorizing". Anything can qualify. Still the problem isn't solved. So I = ask again, what does a "theory" in our field look like? What work does = it do? For a great example of an attempt to deal with this question, see = Clifford Geertz's essay, "Thick Description: Toward an interpretative = theory of culture", in The Interpretation of Cultures, 1973. But apart from that struggle, the question of how software objects = communicate remains, which is also the question of whether an unglossed = complex human artefact can by itself qualify as research output. To = answer in the affirmative would, I'd think, require us to show that not = only can it be put to immediate and proper use (like a hammer) but that = its particular contribution to some field or fields of enquiry, its = "contribution to knowledge", be self-evident -- and that anything = requiring words to become evident be discounted. Or am I being too = demanding? I recall a case of an undergraduate dissertation at Reed College in = mathematics that comprised a half-page of equations with the single = word, "Behold!", at the end. One could say that the single word was = otiose, a witty flourish, a bit of bravado. Anyhow the dissertation was, = I think, awarded a distinction. Mathematics is in some sense a language. So do we look for the sense of = a self-explanatory artefact in the gap between a mathematical statement = and a machine? Where do we put software in this interval? Comments?

One is about the degree to which physical objects, such as hand-tools, communicate what they're about without verbal gloss, the other about prototypes as theories. To heft a hammer is to understand its basic purpose almost immediately. The fist at the end of the arm is almost a hammer. A stone gripped in the hand is even closer. Any heavy, hard, proportional object tied to the end of a stick is a hammer, "An instrument having a hard solid head, usually of metal, set transversely to the handle, used for beating, breaking, driving nails, etc." (OED, where the etymological note goes on to say, "The Norse sense ‘crag’, and possible relationship to Slav. kamy, Russ. kamen stone, have suggested that the word originally meant ‘stone weapon’."). A caliper mimics the opposed digits and so needs little glossing. Chopsticks require, I'd think, someone using them to show one what they are for and how to use them. And we can go on from there, to objects that definitely require words, spoken and/or written. (A piece of Ikea furniture often features humorously to illustrate the need for a perspicuous symbolic language.) And when we go from knowledge-of-use to meaning? What about Thor's hammer? The hammer and sickle? About prototypes as theories -- Manovich's point, which Stan cites. It seems to me that his declaration, "a prototype is a theory", is circular. The work it seems to do is first to assert by implication that the term "prototype" is poorly understood ("a prototype is"), then to secure its understanding by identifying it with something that is well understood ("a prototype is a theory"). The main problem is, however, with the word "theory", which not at all well understood in this context. It is marvellously polysemous and adaptable, having in fact many different meanings across the disciplines. So before we all relax, breathe a sigh of relief and get on with making prototypes, we need to ponder what exactly we mean by "theory". What does a "theory" in our field look like? What is a "theory" not? An understanding of this term that makes everything qualify won't be very useful to us. It's a rather different thing to say that something, like a prototype, is "theoretical", i.e. that it can be involved in the activity of "theorizing". Anything can qualify. Still the problem isn't solved. So I ask again, what does a "theory" in our field look like? What work does it do? For a great example of an attempt to deal with this question, see Clifford Geertz's essay, "Thick Description: Toward an interpretative theory of culture", in The Interpretation of Cultures, 1973. But apart from that struggle, the question of how software objects communicate remains, which is also the question of whether an unglossed complex human artefact can by itself qualify as research output. To answer in the affirmative would, I'd think, require us to show that not only can it be put to immediate and proper use (like a hammer) but that its particular contribution to some field or fields of enquiry, its "contribution to knowledge", be self-evident -- and that anything requiring words to become evident be discounted. Or am I being too demanding? I recall a case of an undergraduate dissertation at Reed College in mathematics that comprised a half-page of equations with the single word, "Behold!", at the end. One could say that the single word was otiose, a witty flourish, a bit of bravado. Anyhow the dissertation was, I think, awarded a distinction. Mathematics is in some sense a language. So do we look for the sense of a self-explanatory artefact in the gap between a mathematical statement and a machine? Where do we put software in this interval? Comments?

Biblindex is funded mainly by the "Cluster 13" of the Rhone-Alpes Regional Council and by the "Maison de l'Orient et de la Mediterranee-Jean Pouilloux". The first stage of the project is completed. An index of approximately 400,000 biblical quotations and references from Greek and Latin patristic texts of the first five centuries is now available online. This index is essentially based on: -- published volumes of Biblia Patristica, CNRS Editions, 1975-2000. -- archives of the "Centre d'Analyse et de Documentation Patristique" (CADP) concerning Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Theodoret of Cyrus, Procopius of Gaza, Jerome. This is only the first step towards a comprehensive index of all biblical references from patristic writings. Technical improvements are still necessary. To this end, in November, an application was submitted to ANR, a project-based funding agency to advance French research. Simple searches of the available corpus are already possible, however. To search references in Biblindex, you can open a user account on the site : http://www.biblindex.mom.fr/index.php?lang=en and follow directions for use. Any question, comment or suggestion is welcome. Please write to biblindex.sc@mom.fr Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

The Department of English and General Linguistics at University of Łódź announces the first International Conference on Philosophy of Language and Linguistics. The title of the Conference is deliberately ambiguous: we wish to investigate the relation between 'philosophy of language' and 'linguistics', but we also want to focus on 'philosophy of language' as opposed to 'philosophy of linguistics'. Are the two in opposition, or do they perhaps complement one another? We also intend to question and verify 'the myths and dogmas' current in contemporary philosophy of language. The principal aim of our Conference is to bring together philosophers and linguists; we would like the papers to address the following research questions: . What are the new problems and issues in the philosophy of language in the 21st century? . Have any traditional problems been successfully solved? . How does research in linguistics influence the philosophy of language and philosophy of linguistics? . How does philosophy influence modern linguistics? . What are the myths and dogmas of contemporary philosophy of language? We also invite papers investigating the following themes (the list is not exhaustive): . The philosophical background of the 'cognitive revolutions' in linguistics . Categorization in philosophy and language . Frege, Wittgenstein and contemporary linguistics . Myths of objectivism and subjectivism in philosophy and language . Axiology in philosophy and language . The concept of truth in philosophy and language . Time in philosophy and language . The duality of mind and body in philosophy and language . Possible worlds in logic, philosophy and literature . The relation between philosophy of language and literature and literary theories. The following scholars have accepted our invitation to address the conference as plenary speakers: Eros Corazza & Kepa Korta (Carleton University, Ottawa & ILCLI, Donostia-San Sebastian) on Two Dogmas of Philosophical Linguistics Katarzyna Jaszczolt (Department of Linguistics, University of Cambridge) on Time in Language and Thought Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk (Department of English Language and Applied Linguistics, University of Łódź) on Events as they are Michael Morris (Department of Philosophy, University of Sussex) on The Myth of the Sign Jaroslav Peregrin (Department of Logic, Charles University, Prague) on The Myth of Semantic Structure Abstracts of papers of max. 500 words should be forwarded by e-mail to philang2009@uni.lodz.pl and to piotrst@uni.lodz.pl New deadline for submission is 15 February 2009. Presentations should last max. 30 minutes (including discussion and questions). Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 March 2009. A volume of conference proceedings will be published with an international publisher. The conference fee is 150 EUR (100 EUR for PhD students). It covers the cost of participation, conference materials and conference dinner. Payment of the conference fee should be made to the following bank account: PhiLang2009, Uniwersytet Łódzki PL14 1240 3028 1111 0010 0434 7782 SWIFT CODE: PKOPPLPWLDZ Please note that payment counts as registration. Accommodation will be provided at the University of Łódź Conference Center (Łódź, Kopcińskiego 16/18). Single and double rooms are available. The cost of a single room per night is 140 PLN, double 210 PLN, breakfast is included in the price. Mails and questions concerning registration and accommodation should be directed to philang2009@uni.lodz.pl and to rasinski@uni.lodz.pl Further information about accommodation and social program will appear in the Fourth Circular, in March 2009, and at: http://filolog.uni.lodz.pl/philang Organizing committee: prof. dr hab.

There's a bunch of talks on digital humanities and related subjects at the MLA, and to help those interested in finding them, the Association for Computers and the Humanities has compiled a guide to these talks, based on the convention program. It is available at: http://www.ach.org/mla/mla08/guide.html The level of d.h. activity at the MLA has risen for the third year running, and as always the range of subjects these sessions touch on covers many languages and kinds of study.

What prompted that? I just wrote a few paragraphs which I thought would contribute to this discussion, only to realize that I hit a wall when I got to the part that is newest to me, the proposal that a prototype is a theory. I can certainly see myself agreeing with that, depending on, as Willard has noted, what is meant by "theory" and, I'd simplify even further, what is meant by "prototype." But before I can either agree or disagree, or even intelligently join the discussion, I find myself substituting "theory" for "prototype" in the assertion Stan offered as his point of departure, Manovich's "stop apologizing for your" theories. If "stop apologizing for prototypes" is followed by "a prototype is a theory" then it follows that whatever else a "theory" is, it is assumed to be the kind of thing one doesn't have to apologize for. Where? In what context? When speaking to or with whom? If the rock is the prototype of the hammer, I can see how it is also a theory of the hammer. But I can also see the rock tied into the cleft at the end of a stick as a better prototype and better theory of the hammer. Thus, if I'm tasked with developing a hammer, the engineer who handed me just the rock has, to some extent, wasted my time (albeit unintentionally). Does that proto-engineer then owe an apology? This is why I feel I need some context for the original comment. What was being apologized for, and to whom were the apologies offered? I guess at a fundamental level I don't get why, aside from taking people in the wrong direction and thereby wasting time, money, and energy, anyone would apologize for a prototype, whether or not a prototype is a theory. I should probably add that I'm in higher education rather than industry because I prefer to doubt the entire concept of wasted time and energy in such a context. If we didn't learn what we thought we'd learn, well, did we learn something else? Confirm a known something (theory, fact, whatever)? Disprove something? I find it almost impossible to waste time doing. And any point along the line of developing then testing then discarding or adopting a prototype is doing. But I remain curious about the apologies. Can anyone fill me in, please?

While it would be irresponsible of us not in some sense to prepare them for their work-lives, it seems to me that to do so by aping the world of work, as we are doing now, is to throw away the opportunity to supply that imaginative engagement with worlds of endless possibility to which gaming appeals. It's not just that game-players want distraction, I think Lanchester is saying, they want something better, something worthy of the imagination. And we want to train them to be better workers?

It is a tautology in the sense that any human action is shaped by some purpose of which one could give a more or less adequate account. You can call that implicit purpose a theory, if you want to. There is not always a strong correlation between the success of the action and the agent's ability to give such an account. A prototype is an experiment. A few of them work the first time. Most do not. All of them benefit from iterative and incremental improvement. No progress without prototypes. Why should anybody ever have to apologise for them? What happens if now glorify the prototype by calling it a theory? Are we going to get better prototypes? Almost certainly not. In 2000 the German essayist Hans Magnus Enzensberger wrote a wonderful piece about the digital revolution in Der Spiegel. He called it "Am Anfang waren die Bastler" or "In the beginning were the tinkerers." This is an open allusion to the famous passage in which Goethe's Faust tries to translate the opening sentence of John "In the beginning was the LOGOS". Faust doesn't like 'word', goes through series of other inadequate choices and finally settles on "Tat": "In the beginning was the deed." Hegel later said that the owl of Athena begins its flight at dusk. Good prototypes are creatures of dawn. Aristotle observes in the Nicomachean ethics that bridlemaking is ancillary to the art of horsemanship. And so it is. But where would the horseman be without the bridlemaker? Did the horseman at some point think up a theory of the bridle and ask some banausos or tradesman to make it -- an uninteresting and prosaic activity once you've had the theory? Or did someone at some point have a bright but inchoate idea, fiddled with it, and after many failed trials bridles happened and the history of riding changed forever? In Manovich's statement that 'a prototype is a theory' I hear a hidden (or not-so-hidden) contempt for skill that manifests itself in the doing or making. As for digital humanities, we need better doing and making. Let's worry about the "theory" later. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2008 12:31:28 -0700 From: Stan Ruecker Subject: Re: [Humanist] 22.409 more on thing knowledge In-Reply-To: <20081228094119.644952AE67@woodward.joyent.us> > Could I ask for a context for Manovich's original comment: "stop > apologizing for your prototypes." What prompted that? I suspect we'd been doing some apologizing, mainly, as you rightly surmise, because prototypes aren't production systems, and at least some of them--perhaps the majority of them--never will be. DH2007 had several sessions involving prototypes as well as discussions of prototyping. Manovich's comment was in the question and answer period after Stefan Sinclair and I had been describing three of our recent ideas about tools for browsing XML. I think one of the issues is to what extent a prototype can be understood either as a kind of experiment in its own right, or else as an experimental apparatus that primarily exists to serve other kinds of experiments. In both cases, I believe that there are some research questions that can only be properly addressed by building something and trying it out. An apparatus is one thing. If you are Robert Hooke and you are interested in very tiny things, then you need to grind some lenses, or get some lenses ground for you, and look through them at tiny things. But you aren't necessarily interested in lenses per se. You are interested in the tiny things they reveal, and the lens and any interest you have in it is a kind of side effect of the main project. Hoffman (Humanist 22.379 how different subjects are different) points to a different kind of artifact when he cites Komatsu et al., who wanted to know if someone could do surgery on a molecule of Buckminsterfullerene and encapsulate a molecule of hydrogen in it. Someone had already encapsulated an atom, so a molecule was the logical next thing to try. In this case, the whole point was to build something new. The object itself is of interest. If these two examples mark fairly widely separated points on a terrain, then can software prototypes be placed at the same points or elsewhere? If you are Martin Wattenberg and you are interested in what kind of data people will visualize if you give them an easy way to do it, you build a site like Manyeyes and find out (http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/). I would say this is much like Hooke's microscopes. The site and its various tools are a kind of side effect of the main project, although some tools (e.g. the Wordtree) are perhaps experimental environments in their own right. BTW, there is a complete list of the Manyeyes tools here (http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/page/Visualization_Options.html) Alternatively, if you are Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, and you are interested in getting an overview of how people express emotion in blogs, you can build a tool like We Feel Fine and watch the emotions emerge from the blog scrapes (http://wefeelfine.org/). I would say it is similar to a project like ManyEyes, but not identical, since in this case the system itself is of primary interest. A research question here might be "how best can we provide such a visual overview?" You can see that they have tried several different ways, since there is a menu that lets you select different forms. yrs, Stan Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 409. > Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:06:07 -0400 > From: Richard Cunningham > > > Could I ask for a context for Manovich's original comment: "stop > apologizing for your prototypes."

To start with, although many video games are driven by specific goals which are attained by performing repetitive tasks, I think the industry as a whole is moving increasingly away from this old-fashioned paradigm, and towards the increasing ability to customise, create, and explore the gaming worlds and the characters in them for reasons other than gain in terms of points or progressing in the game. These arguments would have been a lot more applicable five or ten years ago. Even the most objectionable games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto can include the facility to design levels, and the simple desire to explore scenic portions of enormous playing areas. Furthermore, there has been a huge movement in recent years towards Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games like Second Life. In these games, one creates an avatar and interacts with other gamers in any way one chooses- you play competitively if you wish, to gain money to purchase upgrades for your character and the like, or you can choose simply to meet other players in the world and role-play with them. You can watch the sunset, go hunting together, or cook a meal together, or whatever. Such an entirely non-linear world, where the other players are real, can- like life – be played in a never-ending variety of ways, but with the ability to things that in the real would be impossible, unaffordable, and impractical. These games have an extremely loosely designed structure, It isn’t repetitive or structured, and the rewards are not prescribed. The potential for exploring whatever you want in a virtual world is enormous. I also feel that Lancaster’s base of examples consist of a relatively small number of popular games in Britain and America, which even when taken together, do not make up a majority of the market. If one looks outside the famous and popular games with the higher elements of violence, one can find a huge number of obviously extremely artistic titles. In Japan (where, we must remember, the video games market is collosal, and comprises a huge percentage of what it is globally) games are very often showcases for the work of artists and musicians who design characters, worlds, and soundtracks. One of the great interests at the release of Chrono Cross some years ago was its beautiful soundtrack, which was released alongside the game. With recent titles such as Shining Wind on the Playstation 2, advertisements lead with the name of the artist(s) responsible for the design of the characters, and artbooks containing their illustrations are released at the same time. I wouldn’t say such games are in a majority, even in Japan, but only a small number of games from the genre of first-person shooters are ridiculously and excessively violent. Platformers, Role Playing Games, Puzzle Games, Strategy Games, and Simulation games (to name but a few other genres) are very seldom violent and gory. I also would not underestimate the extent to which games can be played artistically. The objective is not necessarily always to ‘best’ the game, but to do so beautifully, in an elegant or aesthetically pleasing manner- like playing a beautiful point in a game of tennis, or drawing an expressive free-flowing sketch. In one-on-one beat ‘em ups (where you play as a character and have to defeat one their opponent like a boxing match) like the famous Streetfighter, players gain prestige amongst friends for performing a beautiful and visually pleading chain of ‘moves’ to defeat an opponent quickly, elegantly, and without suffering any damage in return- perhaps with a particularly skilful or spectacular climax at the crescendo of the background music. It’s almost like a perfectly choreographed dance routine. A look at youtube will also demonstrate the extent to which players will find all manner of ways to adapt, change, and personalise games playing experiences- adding their own music, characters, or playing the game in their own way. Many fans even now seek to create their own games either from scratch, or using flexible designing packages like RPGMaker or Games Factory. Recent developments in the games industry permitting high levels of customisation, and the ability that players now have to customise graphics and music on home PCs and share the fruits of their labours with others on the internet, ensure that the potential for video games to be artistic is greater than ever before. The player has increasingly been given the sketchpad and the potential artist is no longer necessarily just the game producing company. -------------------------------------- Luke Blaxill, Room 1, Shepherd's Bush Office Division of History and Digital Humanities, School of Humanities, King's College London 2nd Floor 232A Uxbridge Road Building LONDON W12 7JD Tel: (+44) 0207 746 9386 (office) (+44) 07903 404 268 (Mobile) luke.blaxill@kcl.ac.uk ________________________________________ From: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org [humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org] On Behalf Of Humanist Discussion Group [willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk] Sent: 28 December 2008 09:41 To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 410.

While it would be irresponsible of us not in some sense to prepare them for their work-lives, it seems to me that to do so by aping the world of work, as we are doing now, is to throw away the opportunity to supply that imaginative engagement with worlds of endless possibility to which gaming appeals. It's not just that game-players want distraction, I think Lanchester is saying, they want something better, something worthy of the imagination. And we want to train them to be better workers?

Nonetheless, here goes. Martin writes: "What happens if now glorify the prototype by calling it a theory? Are we going to get better prototypes? Almost certainly not." It is sometimes hard to predict effects from knowing causes, but in this case, I would say the prototype as theory points us toward some clear advantages. One is that it allows us to ignore for a moment the standard features that are not the object of interest. Let me provide an example. I was part of a group that thought it might have been a misstep to believe received wisdom that the best way to avoid information overload was to reduce the amount of information on a screen. What if we took an alternative route, and filled the screen with what Tufte calls "small multiples," but then attempted to reduce the perceptual or cognitive overload by also providing tools for manipulating the arrangement of all those objects? Would be people be overwhelmed, or, as I believed, reassured? It was hard to tell until we built some prototypes and tried them out with people. We haven't built many prototypes yet, and we haven't tried them out with very many people, but the early results suggest we get good results on measures of both performance and preference, for these kinds of interfaces, provided the collections are of the right kind and not too large. Here is another example. We wondered if it was true that people in browsing objects on the screen would all tend to do it the same way, or if they would make roughly equal use of all the ways available to them. So again we built a prototype and tried it out. We provided 16 different facets of data and found that the people using the system logged roughly equal use of all 16 facets. I think for designers this has important implications, because what I was taught, at least, was that it was my job as a designer to figure out the one way to navigate the data that people would use 85% of the time, then build that. In both these cases, the people using the system also mentioned that they would like all kinds of standard features. There should be a search function. There should be some way to save results and send them to your friends. There should be an annotation option, for both public and private annotations. And so on. Duly noted, I said. But because these were prototypes to test theories about people interacting with collections, I felt justified in saving the time and money that would have gone into building those other features. It is true those are good features--it has been well established that they are generally useful. In fact, it is so well established that I can't find anything contestable, defensible, and substantive to say about them. That is, there's nothing to publish about having included a search function, even if it is a great search function. You should have them in production systems. End of story. Another advantage of calling a prototype a theory is that it reminds us to look for ways of evaluating the prototype other than as a lens onto something else. We can ask ourselves what theory this particular prototype is embodying, and whether there are other prototypes that embody it differently, and how do they compare? I included in an earlier note in this thread all the things I think we typically do with theories. In this case, it may suffice to say that if we think of prototypes as theories, we will want to analyse them, argue about them, put them to tests, and so on. I am always slightly disheartened whenever I give a paper or see a paper given that is largely descriptive, since I believe a better approach is analytical, and a better one yet is analysis with some data brought to the table in the form of some kind of trying it out with people. I do agree with Martin that it isn't necessarily a good idea to call all implicit purposes theories, which leads me to what I believe is the third advantage of saying "a prototype is a theory"--namely that it may help remind us that theorizing by prototyping is different from building production systems, however elegant they may be. There is always a temptation to forget that thinking by building, as Richard Cunningham reminds us, is one of the things we are about. Not very long ago now, I was co-supervising a very good graduate student who had built three very different prototypes. One day he arrived at a meeting with a fourth system, already built, that looked essentially like iTunes. I had to exercise what little diplomacy I had to point out that yes, this would work, but there was nothing new about it. It just addressed the problem from the current best practices. If I had explained to him earlier that a prototype is a theory, I think I could have saved him a lot of time and effort. yrs, Stan --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2008 07:23:28 -0300 From: Fernando Flores Subject: About "thing knowledge" In-Reply-To: <20081229062631.BA2F02AB13@woodward.joyent.us> I understand the relationship between the prototype and the theory as the relationship between intentionality and knowledge in the intentional act known as work. Umberto Eco said that the meaning of an artefact is its function. The meaning of an artefact or thing, reveals in praxis. What is to say the same is that: if we have forgotten "how to do with the thing" we can not grasp its meaning. So, back to Willard McCarty's question (I quote): "Given the short life- span of software artefacts, our ignorance of how to read them and, as Peter Galison has noted for non-verbal artefacts generally, their polysemous existence beyond the meaning assigned by their creators, can any such artefact ever stand for itself wholly without written commentary and explanation?€ My answer is no: To read old programming languages will be the same as to understand dead natural languages; a question for specialists.

This thread has especially intrigued me, because it calls to mind Rilke's Ninth Duino Elegy, especially the following: Praise the world to the angel, not the unutterable world; you cannot astonish him with your glorious feelings; in the universe, where he feels more sensitively, you're just a beginner. Therefore, show him the simple thing that is shaped in passing from father to son, that lives near our hands and eyes as our very own. Tell him about the Things. He'll stand amazed, as you stood beside the rope-maker in Rome, or the potter on the Nile. Show him how happy a thing can be, how blameless and ours; how even the lamentation of sorrow purely decides to take form, serves as a thing, or dies in a thing, and blissfully in the beyond escapes the violin. And these things that live, slipping away, understand that you praise them; transitory themselves, they trust us for rescue, us, the most transient of all. They wish us to transmute them in our invisible heart--oh, infinitely into us! Whoever we are. I'm not sure it's entirely appropriate to this thread: but what I hear in Rilke's (admittedly, perhaps too Romantic?) lines is a sense of how we know the world _through_ things and especially the artifacts that we create - a knowledge, moreover, that is at once cognitive and emotive. What may be helpful to add here: this sense is one that has gained increasing articulation and support over the past twenty years or so - in work that has been mentioned in Humanist (Damasio), but also in recent phenomenological work (Albert Borgmann, Barbara Becker, Darren Barney), especially as focusing on embodiment. Along these lines, Clifford Geertz has also noted: Šthe fact that brain and culture co-evolved, mutually dependent the one upon the other for their very realization, has made the conception of human mental functioning as a intrinsically determined intracerebral process, ornamented and extended, but hardly engendered by cultural devices ­ language, rite, technology, teaching, and the incest tabu ­ unsustainable Š Our minds are not in our bodies, but in the world. (_Available Light: Anthropological Reflections on Philosophical Topics_. Reprint edition. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2001. P. 205) All of this would seem to support the view articulated by Martin Mueller, and captured nicely in the quote he provides from Enzensberger: "Am Anfang waren die Bastler". That is, given what we now seem to know about how we know the world as embodied beings, it appears that there is something indeed essential to the processes of our coming to know the world more fully - a knowledge that at some point will include theory - in our first tinkering with things via our bodies, and developing a feel for (or, to use the phrase common in phenomenology, getting a grip on) how some-_thing_ might be modified, changed, developed, in order to work better in our hands and with our bodies. Along these lines, finally, a bibliographic reference: Susan Stuart (Glasgow University) has an excellent survey of how we come to know the world as embodied beings: >From agency to apperception: through kinaesthesia to cognition and creation, _Ethics and Information Technology_, Volume 10, Number 4 (December, 2008): 255-264. (DOI 10.1007/s10676-008-9175-5) Susan proposes here that we turn to what she calls "pre-reflective bodily consciousness" and imagination for the sake of developing "a softer ontology, one which encompasses our notions of embedded, situational, and extended minds." While Susan's primary focus here is on what all of this might mean regarding ethics - especially the ethical implications of breaking down hard Cartesian dichotomies of mind/body, virtual/real, internal/external - the larger overview she provides of these developments may be of interest to Humanist readers also intrigued by this thread on things and knowledge.

L Hunsucker and Stan Ruecker, I quite agree with them. What they say covers my first point that to call a prototype a theory is a tautology. Of course, you have to some idea of what you're trying to prove or disprove. You have to think ahead, and you have to ask "what if" -- a question that Stan asks twice in his posting. There is a perfectly good term for building a prototype. It's called 'proof concept'. We're in a world of experimentation, we try to figure out whether something that works 'in theory' also works in practice, whether the practical obstacles observed map to the obstacles expected, whether a successful prototype could scale, etc. That is the world of intelligent tinkering or model building for which I have the greatest respect. But that is not what I heard when I read Lev Manovich's perhaps quite casual remark that a 'prototype is a theory'. What I heard there was the use of 'theory' in English departments. As used there (and in cognate disciplines), the word 'theory' and its awful verbal partner 'theorize' has almost nothing to do with an experimental attitude of designing and testing models, looking for evidence that confirms or disconfirms a hypothesis, and generally giving an account of what you are doing in the light of constraints, opportunities, and available facts. It is rather a term that marks a stance of airy speculation that already knows better and is scornful of such things as 'evidence', 'relevant facts', 'constraints', 'proof'. I am a great admirer of Michael Oakeshott in general and of the hermeneutical introduction to his late work On Human Conduct. There are some wonderful and trenchant remarks on this peculiarly restricted and inflated use of the word 'theory' and 'theorist'. If we associate prototype with 'theory' in that sense, God help us. If you think of it as a synonym for 'hypothesis' or 'concept', that's OK. But those seem to me much better words to explain what goes on when somebody builds a good prototype. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:47:11 -0500 From: "Gerry Coulter" Subject: Theory...

Certainly I'm simplifying. But . . . in following this thread I'm increasingly inclined to believe that a prototype is not a theory, but follows from a theory. In the examples provided by Stan, below, I think a theory about, as Laval Hunsucker puts it (again, below) "how the world works" precedes the prototyping. In fact, probably numerous theories precede the prototyping. One might be that people's brains are subject to cognitive overloading. I know this to be true at the level of statistics (that is, people in general), but I also know too few tests have been run on those whose brains we might describe as higher order or higher functioning. That is, does the human brain necessarily suffer cognitive overload, or is it largely a function of some external factors, factors that an individual might--by accident of living or by careful upbringing or by assiduous self-control--overcome? A second theory might be that the kind of information to be provided is the kind best presented via the medium of an electronic interface. (I'm at a loss to imagine a kind of information that doesn't fall into that category, but there might be such.) Neither of these theories is a prototype, but both are necessary and necessarily precede the development of a prototype, don't they? If that's right, that only shows that not all theories are prototypes, even if some are. Thus, it doesn't invalidate the assertion that "prototypes are theories" but, like Martin Mueller's contribution, it leads me toward disagreeing with that assertion. Am I splitting hairs when I suggest that a prototype can be the manifestation of or embodiment of a theory?

I return to Pr. McCarthy's original comments -- and please forgive me if I misunderstood at some point -- in which he noted: > The question is, does the same hold true for the digital humanities, that "only the written gives any hope for survival"? Given the short life-span of software artefacts, our ignorance of how to read them, and, as Peter Galison has noted for non-verbal artefacts generally, their polysemous existence beyond the meaning assigned by their creators, can any such artefact ever stand for itself wholly without written commentary and explanation? Solid work in the history of science and technology gives us the intriguing idea of "thing knowledge", but in any case can we say what that knowledge is without using words? Is it knowledge without words? I think I hit a bump in my reading when software was described as "non- verbal." Software, to my limited imagination, is primarily literary -- one of the reasons that code is sometimes compared to poetry. If anything, I imagined when I joined this list that we would be moving to include within the scope of humanistic investigation the writing of software itself, precisely because, as Pr. McCarthy points out, so many of us remain "ignorant of how to read" it. Even in my limited time of doing a bit of observation with an open source group -- the RadiantCMS project (a Ruby on Rails application), it's clear to me that there are a number of literary tropes being practiced. A fuller discussion of what those folks are up to will have to wait until I am further along in that research. For now, I am still in the midst of the investigation of a complex artifact known as "the crawfish boat" here in south Louisiana and which was born out of the complex interactions between two semi- distinct but deeply intertwined cultural groups: the Cajuns and the Germans. The former are of course quite famous; the latter much less well known to those not familiar with the area's history. These craft -- a few can be glimpsed here: http://flickr.com/photos/johnlaudun/sets/72157605735666828/ -- surely stand somewhere between the proverbial rock and software. I'd like to pass over for a moment all the discussions about the obviousness or non-obviousness of handtools, be they rocks or hammers. (Anyone who has seen a rock used as a pestle to grind grain in the hollow of another, larger rock, or has had to explain the use of the "claw" part of the hammer will appreciate that tools are, by their very nature, cultural and thus always surrounded by their meanings.) I do this in order to move more quickly to a point that Pr. Mueller makes about the "hidden (or not-so-hidden) contempt for skill that manifests itself in the doing or making" that lingers in prototype theory. In particular, I am drawn in my own writing now to try to describe in words that ways in which these men think, quite literally, in metal. When they communicate with each other -- in the case of at least one of the shops the communication is between two brothers who have worked together for two decades -- they begin with their hands, describing curves and folds and holes and welds, and move slowly toward words, which always seem insufficient to the task of quickly describing a dynamic, three-dimensional scene. Thus, there is, even in the best of metal shops, regular miscommunication when one job must pass from one person to another and why so often these men tend to work alone on a job. They seem the opposite of many of us because they do not seem to be good with words, an appearance which is quickly belied if you take one of them to lunch and get them telling stories. They are, in fact, by and large quick-witted pranksters and sly storytellers. Their tongues seem tied when it comes to the objects they make and to the things they do to craft them because the telling is so impoverished, in terms of information, to the doing. I have, along the way, found and interviewed the two men who made, contemporaneously in 1983, the first of these spectacular boats, and how what they did refutes or revises prototype theory is not something I am prepared to comment on. But I did feel compelled to try to add a dimension or two to the discussion of "thing knowledge" which I felt had gotten a little side-tracked by sticking to rocks and hammers as the prototypical things. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php From humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Thu Jan 1 10:26:46 2009 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from woodward.joyent.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4593C2AED0; Thu, 1 Jan 2009 10:26:46 +0000 (GMT) Received: by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix, from userid 1006) id 84EBD2AEC8; Thu, 1 Jan 2009 10:26:43 +0000 (GMT) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20090101102643.84EBD2AEC8@woodward.joyent.us> Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2009 10:26:43 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Humanist] 22.415 thing knowledge X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.10 Precedence: list Reply-To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 415.

Both prototype and theory are objects of discourse. As objects of discourse they productive of stories. They are especially productive if they are considered as events (as any object can be considered as a reified event). I think the submerged theme to this thing-theory thread is the question of what types of stories should be told (this in the guise of what stories can be told). I point out that the intervention that produced the hook (prototypes _are_ theory) arose in reaction to statements of humility (coded as apology). I would venture an imperative ... the discourse of humanities and by extension that of humanities computing must address not only the present discursive community, some of its message must be destined to those yet to come. The route to such an engagement with the future sometimes passes through forms such as the dialogue of the dead. Sometimes such a regard for history and the future is cultivated by the sense of an audience that lives extra muros. Every blog entry, every posting to a discussion list, every syllabus available online, every archived transcription of the transactions of a learned society, contributes to an aggregate sense of engagement. Good stories happen to those who can tell them well. Telling a story well takes practice. I believe that good practice begins when the metaphoric leap (X _is_ Y) is eschewed and a more comparative mode is commonplace (A is like B or C or D). Metaphors run to inflationary hype. Modest comparisons create linkages and an expansive discursive economy. Mind you, an overarching metaphor is sometimes perfect for stiring the pot but there are other ways to cook or prepare food. -- Francois Lachance, Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2009 10:23:36 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: "no idea but in things" In-Reply-To: <20081231070005.7A0182A57C@woodward.joyent.us> from "Humanist In the discussions of "thing knowledge" so far, often we've slipped into using words in a rather thing-like fashion, or rather, in the half-aware way that we treat things themselves, as if they were simply lumpishly "out there". A number of comments on the epistemic, culturally informed way that things exist in the world we share with them, even those not made by us, have brought forward the core of what Davis Baird means by his term "thing knowledge". Perhaps words are so familiar to us that they -- esp "theory", but also "experiment" in the present context, indeed also "context" -- have become even more dull, lumpish, object-ified than things have been. The point I wish to make has been made quietly, too quietly perhaps, by Laval Hunsucker ("If one thinks of a theory as..."), Martin Mueller ("You can call that implicit purpose a theory...") and perhaps others. Let me shout it with a New Year's enthusiasm for an improving turn. We are using "theory" as if its meaning were singular and clear -- which it is most definitely not -- as a result of which the word takes on the trendy mind-stopping, experiment-snuffing force it has in so much of literary studies and in Manovich's utterance as it has been quoted. (Compare the similar effect of "socially constructed".) Of course there's truth in what Manovich says, but if it isn't a tautological truth, as Martin has argued, then it's very close to that. So I ask, WHAT DO WE MEAN BY "THEORY" in each of the contexts in which we use that word? What is a "theory" not? How, in any given use, would a word such as "idea" or "concept" or "notion" not be as good -- or better, perhaps much clearer? And now that we're on a roll philologically speaking, with our dictionaries out, let us also ask, WHAT IS AN "EXPERIMENT"? When would a replacement of "to experiment" by "to try out" result in an improvement of sense? A cynic might think that (forgive the demeaning of a noble tool) words are to us like hammers, to have the maximum possible IMPACT on our colleagues. I commend to everyone's attention Peter Galison's Image and Logic: A Material Culture of Microphysics (Chicago, 1997), and for present purposes chapter 6, "The Electronic Image: Iconoclasm and the New Icons", pp. 433-552. A couple of quotations will help in the present context. Galison is discussing the popular idea, e.g. in Andrew Pickering's analysis of a particular situation, that the experiment in question was tuned in a "theory-laden" way on the basis of a pre-existing "theoretical construct". He comments, "This sort of dichotomy, characteristic of both positivist and antipositivist philosophy of science, has obscured a richer, subtler spectrum of registers in which experimental augmentation proceeds.... Data are already interpreted. But 'interpreted' does not mean shaped by a governing theory.... There are no original, pure, and unblemished data. Instead there are judgments, some embodied in the hardwired machinery, some delicately encoded into software.... But to call these moves of interpretation 'theories' is to grossly misread the nature of experimental culture." (pp. 543-4) What this says to me is that having turned away from uncritical uses of the term "theory", taking on board Kuhn's and Hacking's arguments (from the 1960s and 1980s) about experiment having "a life of its own", as Hacking says, and before we start thinking of what we properly do as "experiment", it would be wise to check out how the latter word is used by all those colleagues of ours in the tradition running back at least as far as Bacon. Significantly Galison has turned to anthropology for explicating the "richer, subtler spectrum of registers in which experimental augmentation proceeds". Allow me to leave you with the following: > As the "tradition of the instruments" makes clear, objects travel > clothed in culture and human interactions. Objects (like the paten > and chalice) are encumbered, covered with meanings, symbolisms, > power, and the ability to represent but also to preserve specific > elements of continuity. Yet precisely because things come dressed > with meaning, it is essential not to picture the handing down as > occurring without alteration.

Many contributors take the question – is it art? – for granted, which suggests that they think they know what art is in the first place! Ernest W. Adams, gives us a game designer's take on the question 'Will computer games ever be a legitimate art form?'. For him art is a grey area, yet he is brave enough to look for common characteristics in art and games (e.g. both have the capacity to express ideas). Jim Andrews considers videogames as literary devices. Another author believes that videogame art is art that retains a sense of humour. Etc, etc. All in all, much food for thought. Imagination – as Willard points out - is the key. In art, work and longings!

Trying to make sense, I offer the following comments that at best build on what contributors to this thread have already expressed more clearly. Pushing beyond Nietzsche’s perspectivism, perhaps from some perspective there is a matter of power associated with the prototype/theory issue. In this light, a theory tends to propose how something else is out there, in a true/false fashion, and a prototype tends to shun from trenchant assertions about how something out there is all about. This may appear as a weakness, hence the apologies when compared to the more powerful, commanding theoretical style. Within this perspective, to exclaim that a prototype is a theory is to refuse such weakness. Yet in this narrow sense the protest falls short. The effort is also unproductive: battling it out with theory leaves out the far more interesting, valuable, productive uses of prototypes. Shifting the perspective, Lev Manovich’s statement that a prototype is a theory, becomes a nicely illuminating tautology. No apologies needed. We can say that a theory is a very special type of prototype (or, more generally, a type of model) constructed to make truth representations about something out there. A theory is a prototype (a model) about external truth matters. But as engineers and makers from all disciplines are aware, there is more to be done than theorize. Things have to be built, tasks accomplished, repairs made, explorations carried out. This does not diminish the value of theoretical discourses. On the contrary. They are an integral part of what we make, how we see experiment and see ourselves in the world. Yet theory does not constitute the entire fabric. It seems that more is accomplished through prototypes (models) that have little or no clear theoretical basis beyond personal/community styles, inclinations, and beliefs. What seems to be different about this second perspective is that it widens beyond the ‘knowledge of the world’ issue towards the ‘doing & building things in the world’ attitude. It still includes ontological matters but in a more pragmatic way. This has a benefit: rather than keep fueling warfare between theories, there is now room for diversity, for coexistence, and for mutually enhancing cooperation among former antagonists, or at least rivals. A gift of new media is that it facilitates such interactions. To comment on Willard’s question: <“WHAT IS AN "EXPERIMENT"? When would a replacement of "to experiment" by "to try out" result in an improvement of sense?>, it seems that people like Edison are more of the “try out” type: more playful, eclectic, even artistic, more concerned with discovery than proof, more risk-taking explorers, more ingenious, more of the engineer.

Following are the events for January and February. All Seminars take place from 17.30 to 19.30. Those for the following are in room 275, Stewart House, for which a map is provided on the Seminar page. Please note that Dr Janovic (Head, Classical Philology, Zagreb) is coming to London for his Seminar from Croatia and is interested in making contacts while he is here. Anyone with interests in Neo-Latin things of Croatian or digital flavour is most welcome to make contact directly with him, neven.jovanovic@ffzg.hr. Yours, WM (1)------------------------ 22 January Anouk Lang (University of Birmingham), "Mediated reading across the nation" This paper explores ways in which analytical techniques from corpus linguistics can be used in conjunction with other methods to gain insight into the social significance of nationwide community-reading projects that have arisen over the past decade. Using three corpora of news texts which address Canada Reads, Richard and Judy?s Book Club in the UK and The Big Read programme sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts in the US, the analysis focusses on two features: 1) the kinds of topics that media commentators discuss alongside reading, and 2) the use of evaluative language to frame reading in overwhelmingly positive terms. These findings are then set against participants? textual responses to an online survey and verbal responses in the context of a focus group. This multi-disciplinary approach helps to identify the social ?work? such reading programmes are seen to be performing, and to give a sense of the discourses circulating around these events which may have less to do with reading and more to do with the construction of national imaginaries, the replication of discourses of community-building issuing from elsewhere, and the covert articulation of taste-hierarchies. Anouk Lang is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of American and Canadian Studies at the University of Birmingham, where she works on the AHRC project ?Beyond the Book: Contemporary Cultures of Reading in the UK, the US and Canada?. She is currently editing a volume on reading practices in the 21st century and the impact of technology on individuals' relationships with books, and is also preparing a manuscript on Canadian and Australian literary modernism. (2)------------------------ 12 February Neven Jovanovic (University of Zagreb), "What shall we do with a text collection?" A good resource must enable us to do something we could not do without it. So what new things have resources like Google Book Search, the Perseus Project, and the German neo-Latin CAMENA collection enabled me --- a scholar trained as a classical philologist, working in a small country in Southern Europe --- to do? After considering some obvious responses, it is important to note that those digital, web-based experiments, both with their successes and their shortcomings, have made it possible, even necessary, to imagine an act of building a digital collection that is also an act of building a community around the collection. Imagine a collection or an archive designed in such a way to be able to support itself, enabling its users to contribute and persuading them to want to contribute, to enrich and personalize the collection and to share their own personalizations with others. Furthermore, imagine such a collection designed not around a very famous or popular subject but around something special, something relatively unknown, exotic, or esoteric. How to create such space? What tools, what services, what strategies are needed? Do we have them already, or do they have yet to be devised? I will try to propose answers using the example and the experience of the Croatiae auctores Latini, a digital collection in the making, intended to become both a "knowledge site" and "a village of scholars" (as envisioned by Peter L. Shillingsburg) around the so far unsufficiently researched phenomenon of Croatian Latin texts, written by people of Croatian origin from the ninth to the twentieth centuries. Neven Jovanovic works in Zagreb, Croatia, at the Department of Classical Philology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. He acquired his PhD in 2005, with the thesis "Problems in Construing a Neo-Latin Stylistics on the Example of the Evangelistarium by Marko Marulic" (University of Zagreb). -- Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Humanist, www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist; Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php From humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Sun Jan 4 07:23:23 2009 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from woodward.joyent.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3DB452A2C9; Sun, 4 Jan 2009 07:23:23 +0000 (GMT) Received: by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix, from userid 1006) id 5DD122A2C2; Sun, 4 Jan 2009 07:23:21 +0000 (GMT) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20090104072321.5DD122A2C2@woodward.joyent.us> Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2009 07:23:21 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Humanist] 22.420 doctoral fellowship in digital curation at UNC X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.10 Precedence: list Reply-To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 420.

This is a request for any ideas toward identifing a modernist painting I saw in the Museum of Modern Art or perhaps the Metropolitan (New York) years ago. I won't bother to explain why, or what this painting has to do with the digital humanities tangentially, though it does fit neatly into an argument I am constructing. My memory of it is as follows: 20C, Russian, depicting a little girl in various stages of development sitting on and suspended from branches of a tree which turns into or is identified with aspects of her anatomy, esp her central nervous system & circulatory system. I saw this painting so long ago that I cannot at all be sure that aspects of it have been created subsequently in my imagination. A Google image search has yielded thousands of images, only the first 40 pages of which I've browsed through. Many thanks.

Its table of contents is available at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq.htm#Y2008. In 2006, Deanna Marcum, Assoc. Librarian at the Library of Congress wrote, "we kept on producing digital resources because we had to while whistling in the dark about their long-term preservation". This DDQ number sums up the long-term digital preservation (LDP) situation by asserting that it is time for major institutions to choose LDP strategies, arguing that the technical alternatives are now known, with few surprises likely about what can be done. Readers who want to acquire understanding of the topic quickly can do so by selectively following Web links in recent DDQ numbers. The number also summarizes a recent CLIR assessment of the role of research librarians. Its conclusions are unlikely to please members of the profession. As usual, the number provides technical news, practical advice, and recommends books that I found excellent. Best wishes, Henry H.M.

Galen's ideas had been set down and communicated mostly in words, I suppose for the obvious reason that at the time there was no way to transmit much else reliably. The revolution in ideas about the body that Vesalius brought about was possible because very accurate drawings could be reproduced and accompanied by commentary thanks to the printing press. (This is essentially the same argumen that Eugene Ferguson makes about engineering in his book The Mind's Eye.) Sappol begins his catalogue with the observation that all of us, however medically educated, if at all, carry around with us a mental map of the inside of our bodies. Most of us know the names of our organs and at least approximately where they are. The difference this makes to how we relate to the world is well brought out by the ecologist Paul Shepard in his remarkable book The Others: How Animals Made Us Human (1996). But, I suppose further, the degree to which our physiological self-knowledge was enhanced and intensified by the printing-press-enabled ideas of Vesalius must be very great indeed. This is undoubtedly a point made at length by those who study book history. But Sappol's explication of Vesalius' importance does give us quite a persuasive example of how very simple facts have enormous consequences. Like many others I resist being content with access to resources as a subject for study. I want much more complex, analytically sophisticated phenomena to burrow into.

The formula "every X is a theory" shows up now and again, and perhaps it would be useful to compare "every prototype is a theory" with a similar statement that Bernhard Cerquiglini makes in his small but rich book, _In Praise of the Variant: A Critical History of Philology_ (Johns Hopkins, 1999). He asserts that "every edition is a theory" in a discussion of conservative approaches to editing medieval texts (whose primary characteristic he takes to be textual variance between copies): "Tempted by diplomatic copy, these editions have been drawn into the fantasy of the facsimile, of honestly providing in the most complete form all the intact data, which will become the wealth of the reader. Because a loyal magnanimity was their only choice, they forgot that every edition is a theory: though one must show what is there, one must above all make it understood" (78-9). (This leads into a discussion of digital editions as a viable alternative for representing the complexity of mss traditions.) What I take from Cerquiglini is another way of reading "every prototype is a theory" -- not that "theory" is some ineffable quality that redeems prototypes from rude mechanical status, but that theory is a responsibility to consider how the objects we build (incl. editions) function discursively, even epistemologically. In other words, it's an admonishment against hiding behind value-neutrality in editing and design philosophies. Perhaps this is a way of suggesting that that prototypes are bound to embody values and theories no matter what, so we'd better make them good ones. This might also be an example of how a number of good digital humanities debates have precursors -- or at least parallels -- in fields such as book history and scholarly editing. The latter has its own curious history of prototypes that predate electronic computing.

Consider, too, how an understanding of the innards of a computer changes one's relationship to it. My students are usually astonished to discover how a register machine works, and their reaction is something like, "Is that all?" Of course, it isn't all. Computers, like bodies, are very complex things. But when I work with computers, I am forever demystifying their innards in my mind -- re-schematizing them into abstract (and sometimes, quite concrete) models. Always, I am saying to myself (as I say to my students): "It's a simple thing, really." Joseph Campbell once remarked that he would have no trouble mythologizing the personal computer. I don't think the wider culture does either, and I daily see examples of the mythopoetic computer being treated as the body once was: the site of strange energies and inscrutable movements. We even refer to it using language mostly reserved for the strange and marvelous: web, cloud, ether, space . . .

Please feel welcome to circulate this information. Also, note the very title deadline: 12 Jan, 2009. http://www.uws.ac.uk/research/MediaStudentships.asp Finally, here are the project titles: Prospects of immortality: public engagement with Biogerontology and life/health span expansion (Ref.PHDMLM004) Due to its broad application to a number of other sciences, biogerontology is one of the most relevant fields of inquiry today. It speaks to the convergence of the NBIC sciences and to the redefinition of health care that arises by describing ageing as a disease to be cured, rather than a natural process to accept. Biogerontology engages us with the prospect of extending health or life span to an unknown degree and, as such, it is a controversial discipline. Over the last ten years, work in this area has shifted from scientific impossibility to becoming a core part of scientific endeavour. A range of media coverage, from aspersion to fascination, has accompanied this shift. In the literature on public understanding of science, there is no research yet attending to this distinct, but profound area of scientific inquiry. As such, this PhD studentship aims to explore the following questions: * How has biogerontology been articulated though the media? * What issues surround the political economy of research into life-extension? * How do different research communities orientate themselves around the various media narratives on life-extension? * How do journalists report research on biogerontology? * What can be learned from this subject area to broadly inform work into science communication? Candidates should have a higher degree in science communication and qualitative research methods in media sociology. Director of Studies: Dr Andy Miah External Adviser: Dr Aubrey de Grey The ethics of human enhancement in film (Ref.PHDMLM005) Studies in the ethics of human enhancement have advanced considerably in the last five years through the emergence of new communities of scholarly inquiry. A number of scientific disciplines have been brought under the spotlight due to their likely use for lifestyle, non-therapeutic purposes. The connections between filmic narratives and bioethics are made manifest in recent cultural studies and can be linked to broader, literary origins. Yet, there is very little research that investigates the range of narratives that emerge on the ethics of human enhancement within film. This absence affects the degree of complexity that is brought to how such debates are played out in the media and in policy. This PhD explores the contribution of film to such imaginations and aims to add complexity to our understanding of how film conveys such alterations. It should also help us understand how film functions as a posthuman device of expressing humanly experiences, such as process of remembering, perceiving and the possible disruption of sensory encounters. It also aims to explore the limitations of cultural reference points within scientific policy making on the ethics of human enhancements, exploring the range of metaphors, analogies and stories that contribute to shaping the public understanding of science. Candidates should have a higher degree and particular expertise in film theory and technological fiction.

Making a case for a truly revolutionary outcome of computing, Masterman cites the work in classification that was then coming out of combinatorics. Here is what she says: > As an example of this new power, and following up Leibniz's thought, > consider in general the activity of classification. Long before the > seventeenth century, and long after, thinkers ranging from Aristotle > to Nelson Goodman, interested in exploring the general nature of > classifying, had not yet succeeded in obtaining any new fundamental > knowledge of it. Now, however, using digital computers, a new and > elegant mathematical theory of classification is being developed all > over the world. To get the feel of this, consider the following > problem: You have discovered 150 characteristics, characterizing 100 > so-called "species" (say of tapioca plants, or diseases, or sorts of > words, or what-have-you). The problem is to find out how these newly > discovered characteristics re-group up the 100 antecedently named > species. Seen in terms of the groupings of these 150 characteristics, > for instance, have we really got 100 species of tapioca plant? If > not, how tnany have we? Human intuition, unaided, fails here; for we > have too much classifying material. By making a 100 X 150 array, > however, into the squares of which we put a 1 wherever a species has > one of the characteristics, we can provide basic long-range data for > a computer. And by adopting some agreed-to-be-satisfactory criterion > of similarity between any new species, we can provide it also with > its immediate fodder. (Tanimoto's criterion of such similarity, for > instance, is the number of properties in common between the two > species divided by the number shown by at least one of themso that, > if the two species had three properties in common, the first having > five altogether and the second six, the coefficient would be 318.) > > This preparation achieved, a whole new classificatory countryside > opens out; for, using the computer, the measures of similarity thus > obtained can be compared, ordered and clustered, and the resulting > clusters or clumps recompared with the original data, which may then > suddenly appear in a new light.

But that's only the start of > the potential range of application; and that's only the start of the > development of the theory. For, once you have begun to think in this > new kind of way, it becomes clear that other nonobvious criteria of > similarity can bc tried out with sometimes the most unexpected > effects. Now what Masterman describes depends for its newness on a new "order of power" (her earlier phrase) beyond what would be practical for a human being to undertake. Hence what she points to isn't new with respect to thought -- if it were it could not be programmed -- rather new with respect to action. Afterward, when the action has been carried out and results obtained, the new thinking comes in the attempt to theorize what has been discovered. Thus experiment leads to theory, or at least to new ideas. When we in our nervousness to justify ourselves reach for something new to pull out of our collective hat, we tend to dismiss whatever *could have been done before*, i.e. in theory. But what we find in the hat are not new theories, or not primarily, but ways of acting extensible beyond first what one would do, then what one might be inclined to do, then what one could do, then what an old fashioned German academic project could do in more than a century and so forth. In other words the criterion is wrong. A sign of this is in our turning to broad socio-intellectual consequences of computing, which are very important indeed but hard to argue beyond the anecdotal at this early stage. And besides, we need the social scientists for that sort of thing. Whether one cites Genesis or John, action and word are one in that domain, as is certainly not the case with us here below. Does not "Im Anfang war die Tat" betray the confusion of a thoroughly fallen mind? Comments?

John Bradley of the College’s Centre for Computing in the Humanities was awarded $50,000 for creating Pliny, a scholarly annotation tool. The Mellon Awards honour not-for-profit organisations for leadership in the collaborative development of open source software tools with application to scholarship in the arts and humanities, as well as cultural-heritage not-for-profit activities. Pliny is a software tool which facilities note-taking and annotation while a person is actually reading (a key element of Humanities research for many scholars), and furthermore allows readers to integrate their initial notes into a representation of an evolving personal interpretation. Pliny has components that go beyond annotation to help manage and organise the notes, even if there are thousands of them to work through. It can be used with materials in both digital (web sites, images and PDF files) and non-digital (books, printed journal articles) format. It may be downloaded at http://pliny.cch.kcl.ac.uk/. Pliny was first presented at the Digital Humanities conference in Paris, 2006, where it won the Poster Prize. The software is named after the classical Roman author, naturalist and military commander Pliny the Elder (AD 23-79), who was famous for expressing his curiosity about all things by constantly recording notes about them. According to his nephew, Pliny the Younger, he left behind 160 books in very small handwriting. In making the award to John Bradley, at an event in December in Washington DC, Vint Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist of Google, a man often called the ‘Father of the Internet’, said in his citation: ‘Within the crowd of scholarly annotation tools, Pliny stands out for at least two reasons. First, it can handle both direct annotation, marking up content which the scholar is permitted to modify, and indirect annotation, storing annotations separately from content. Second, and in contrast to many annotation tools, it has received widespread praise for working in ways that humanists actually work. Our Committee also praised Pliny for its re-use of widely available open source technology, the Eclipse project, as a foundation.’ John Bradley is Project Leader and Senior Analyst in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH), The primary objective of the CCH is to study the possibilities of computing for arts and humanities scholarship and, in collaboration with research partners across the disciplines, to design and build applications which implement these possibilities, in particular those which produce online research publications. In the recent Research Assessment Exercise CCH was ranked either first or as equal second within its sector. John Bradley said: ‘We at CCH are very aware of the huge potential of computing methods and tools for Humanities research, with much of this potential still to be realized. I very much hope that Pliny can help to promote fundamentally new thinking about how computing can help scholars in the actual conduct of their research.’ Harold Short, Director of CCH, said: ‘The Mellon Award is richly deserved. It can be seen not only as just recognition of the intellectual innovation that underlies the Pliny software, but also as marking in a symbolic way his exceptional contribution to scholarship in the Digital Humanities over many years.’ One of the CCH‘s Professors of Humanities Computing, Willard McCarty, has been using Pliny intensively in preparation for study leave, and has this to say: ‘Pliny is one of those very rare software programs that embodies a profound understanding of the human activity that it enables. It is designed in the best tradition of computing, not to automate human work but to augment human intelligence. The particular activity it is designed to enable is one of the most ancient scholarly acts, perhaps also the most essential: the making of commentaries. The scholar's central role is to mediate between cultural artefacts and the society of which he or she is a part. Commenting is how the scholar does that. Pliny is the best tool for the job I have ever encountered --and I've been looking for decades.’ The awards event marked the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s third annual Mellon Awards for Technology Collaboration (MATC) competition, in which a total of $650,000 was awarded in prizes to ten not-for-profit institutions. The panel that decided the awards included Sir Timothy Berners-Lee (Director of the World Wide Web Consortium and inventor of the World Wide Web), Mitchell Baker (CEO, Mozilla Corporation), John Seely Brown (former Chief Scientist, Xerox Corp.), John Gage (at the time, Chief Researcher and Director of the Science Office, Sun Microsystems, Inc.; now, Partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, and Byers), and Tim O'Reilly (Founder and CEO, O'Reilly Media). -- Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College London, staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/; Editor, Humanist, www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist; Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, www.isr-journal.org. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php From humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Fri Jan 9 06:48:08 2009 Return-Path: X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver-digitalhumanities@woodward.joyent.us Received: from woodward.joyent.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2F2624940; Fri, 9 Jan 2009 06:48:08 +0000 (GMT) Received: by woodward.joyent.us (Postfix, from userid 1006) id 89D3D24935; Fri, 9 Jan 2009 06:48:07 +0000 (GMT) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20090109064807.89D3D24935@woodward.joyent.us> Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 06:48:07 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Humanist] 22.433 job in Leipzig X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.10 Precedence: list Reply-To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============1510937121==" Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org --===============1510937121== Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 22, No. 433.

Dear Humanist Colleagues, I am looking for references to scholarship about Google Earth. I am particularly interested in approaches that are friendly but also measured and critical. I would prefer references to articles in peer-reviewed journals over links to blog posts (though I'll take those too). Articles that reference GE applications for historical studies would be nice, but that's not essential. If this query results in an extensive bibliography, I will collate it and re-post it to the list. Many thanks in advance, and apologies for cross-posting.

EX-FOLIATIONS: Reading Machines and the Upgrade Path Terry Harpold University of Minnesota Press | 368 pages | 2008 ISBN 978-0-8166-5101-6 | hardcover | $75.00 ISBN 978-0-8166-5102-3 | paperback| $25.00 Electronic Mediations Series, volume 25 Terry Harpold investigates paradoxes of reading's backward glances in the theory and literature of the digital field. In analyses of Vannevar Bush's Memex and Ted Nelson's Xanadu, and in readings of hypertext fictions by Michael Joyce and Shelley Jackson, Harpold asserts that we should return to these landmarks of new media scholarship with attention on questions of media obsolescence, changing user interface designs, and the mutability of reading. "Ex-foliations stands out among other books on new media textuality through its attention to the visual aspects of digital texts (their interface), its informed discussion of the prehistory of hypertext, and its presentation and analysis of rare and very interesting documents. No other book gives a better sense of the hidden machines that perform digital text and of the dependency of the reading experience upon their features.

This 3-week seminar led by James Akerman (The Newberry Library) and Gerald Danzer (The University of Illinois at Chicago) is designed to develop cartographic literacy and encourage effective use of map documents in the classroom through study in the history of cartography. A program of seminars based on recent scholarship in the history of cartography and guided individual research will allow teachers to explore the relevance of map study to their own interests and curricular needs. Seminars and workshops will serve as forums for refining and applying the skills necessary to read maps as products of science, artistic creations, storytellers, wayfinding tools, and expressions of power; and as representations of worldviews and local landscapes. Applications are encouraged from teachers of a broad range of courses and grade levels. Full-time K-12 educators working in public, private, and religiously-affiliated schools, as well as home-school educators in the United States or its territorial possessions are eligible; see the application guidelines for complete eligibility criteria. Successful applicants will receive a stipend of $2,600 to help defray travel and housing expenses. Successful applicants may elect to receive CPDU credit, if eligible, for participation in this seminar. Completed applications must be postmarked no later than Monday, 2 March 2009. Additional information and application materials are available at http://www.newberry.org/smith/summermaps.html or by contacting Sarah Frank, The Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography, The Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton St, Chicago IL 60610; email: franks@newberry.org, phone: 312–255–3659. “Developing Cartographic Literacy with Historic Maps” is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 15:58:28 +0000 From: "Kerzel, Martina" Subject: TextGrid Summit - 21.-22.01.2009 - Invitation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Please forward this information ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear colleagues, we would like to turn your attention to the TextGrid Summit, January 21 in Göttingen.

In-Reply-To: <20090109064852.0F312249BB@woodward.joyent.us> Hi Ruth, There are *plenty* of blogs on this subject (a generally well-regarded example being Ogle Earth - http://www.ogleearth.com/), but two publications that might be of use to you are: L. Ullmann and Y. Gorokhovich: 'Google Earth and some practical applications for the field of archaeology', CSA Newsletter Vol. XVIII, No. 3 (2006), published online: http://csanet.org/newsletter/winter06/nlw0604.html M. F. Goodchild: 'What does Google Earth mean for the Social Sciences?', in M. Dodge, M. MacDerby and M. Turner (eds.) 2008: Geographic Visualization. John Wiley & Sons: 11-23. By way of a background discussion of the role of Google Earth in scholarship more generally you mind find... A. Scharl: 'Towards the Geospatial Web: Media platforms for managing geotagged knowledge repositories', in A. Scharl and K. Tochtermann (eds.) 2007: The Geospatial Web: How geobrowsers, social software and the Web 2.0 are shaping the network society. Springer: 3-14. ...useful.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:10:48 -0800 From: Ruth Mostern Subject: scholarship about google earth? Dear Humanist Colleagues, I am looking for references to scholarship about Google Earth. I am particularly interested in approaches that are friendly but also measured and critical. I would prefer references to articles in peer-reviewed journals over links to blog posts (though I'll take those too). Articles that reference GE applications for historical studies would be nice, but that's not essential. If this query results in an extensive bibliography, I will collate it and re-post it to the list. Many thanks in advance, and apologies for cross-posting.

A theory may help to indicate them; in the absence > of a theory the researcher has to find out by trial and error what > facts are relevant. (TLS for 9 February 1967, p. 106) I am not at all sure about what might be meant by "theory" here if it is any different from a Geertzian "thick description". But, if you would, tell me in terms of the work you do, whether the following is a fair statement of where we're at: implementing trial-and-error mechanisms within a plausible framework of possibilities supplied by current ideas of the artefact and by our own experience. If that is fair, then is it more or less our eternal condition as computing humanists?
