CFP: Early Modern Digital Humanities
by WILDER, COLIN Feb. 15, 2013

Feb. 15, 2013

Dear Colleagues, I am organizing a panel or panels on the theme of "Early Modern Digital Humanities" for the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on October 24-27, 2013)<http://computatiohumanitatis.tumblr.com/post/41275275581/cfp-sixteenth-cent…>. Despite its name, the SCSC is really concerned with the whole run of time ca. 1450-1700 or so. Proposals for individual papers of all sorts on this theme are very welcome. I think that there may be enough interest in the early modern historical, literary, art-historical and other communities to put together more than one panel; which would be great. Papers might be such things as * applications of digital methods like spatial, network, text or image analysis * reports on progress of or problems in digitization efforts, whether text, image, audio or other (especially perhaps electronic text curation) * treatments of meta-topics concerning data, informatics, convergence of knowledge systems or similar which might lend themselves to electronic representation * treatments of virtual representations of things early modern, such as buildings, landscapes or sensory patterns * Who knows? The sky's the limit. The submission deadline is March 15, so interested participants should contact me by about March 8. Sincerely yours, Colin Wilder <link to this announcement><http://computatiohumanitatis.tumblr.com/post/43156888834/early-modern-digit…> ------------ Dr. Colin F.

CfP: Digital Diplomatics 2013, Paris nov. 2013
by Georg Vogeler Feb. 10, 2013

Feb. 10, 2013

** Sorry for cross-Posting! *** Dear list, CfP: Digital Diplomatics 2013: What is Diplomatics in the Digital Environment? Diplomatics has changed fundamentally in the last few decades due to dramatic developments in information technology. While consolidating itself as an autonomous science with its own centuries-old theory, methodology, analytical processes and tools, focused on research on medieval and early modern legal documents, it has also grown into an interdisciplinary field, expanding its area of inquiry to all kinds of textual traditions, documentary forms and creation processes through the use of sophisticated digital tools. "We shape our tools, and then our tools shape us" said Marshal McLuhan. Following the two conferences on Digital Diplomatics that took place in 2007 in Munich and 2011 in Naples, this conference, to be held in Paris, 14-16th november 2013, has the goal to further the scholarly reflection on the way in which diplomatics has developed as a result of both the opportunities offered by digital tools to study historical documents and the challenges presented by born digital documents and by the need to understand their structure and of the complex digital environments in which they reside. You can find the full call for papers with all the necessary informations on how to send in your proposal at http://www.cei.lmu.de/digdipl13/call-for-papers. The deadline for the proposals is 2013, March 15th. We are looking forward to your proposals! in the name of the program committee: Georg Vogeler -- ------------------------------------- Dr. Georg Vogeler Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung in den Geisteswissenschaften Karl-Franzens-UniversitÃ¤t Graz Merangasse 70 - A-8010 Graz Tel. +43 (0)316 380 - 8033 Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik <http://www.i-d-e.de> Association Paléographique Internationale - Culture .
