SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Paul Aron
DESCRIPTION:Paul Aron collaborates on the ANR project Numapresse that applies digital tools to the study of the relationship between the printing press and literary works. \nRelire la littérature des années 30 grâce aux humanités numériques: le cas des hebdomadaires d’information et de reportage.\nLes années 1930 voient l’émergence des hebdomadaires illustrés par la photographie ou le montage photographique\, comme Détective\, Vu\, ou Regards. Ces organes de presse contribuent à transformer le regard que les contemporains jettent sur le monde. Mais on ne peut toutefois les analyser du seul point de vue de l’actualité journalistique. Ces revues sont aussi animées par des écrivains et elles sont liées aux grandes maisons d’édition. L’exposé tentera donc de lier ce phénomène éditorial avec l’histoire de la littérature française\, dans la perspective d’une approche transmédiatique. \nThis guest lecture is organised as part of the course “Littérature et médias” that is taught by Franc Schuerewegen as part of the University of Antwerp’s MA in French Literature. The lecture will be presented in French\, and is free and open to all. To register\, please contact platformdh@uantwerpen.be

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Mattia Di Gangi
DESCRIPTION:Mattia is a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Trento\, Italy. In Trento\, he is pursuing his research in the group of Machine Translation (MT) at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)\, where he could study many aspects before landing to his current research topic\, direct speech-to-text translation. His research experience also includes an internship in 2016 at the CNR (National Council of Research) of Palermo\, Italy\, and one in 2019 at Amazon AI\, in East Palo Alto\, California. He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science in the context of a double degree program by the University of Palermo\, Italy and the University Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée\, France.\n\n\nNeural Machine Translation for Text and Speech\n\nNeural machine translation (NMT) reached such impressive results in the last few years that some industrial players\, imprudently\, claimed to have reached human parity. In this talk\, I will first introduce NMT and the sequence-to-sequence models that enable it. Then\, we will move towards modern approaches to back-translations and multilingual NMT\, which enable the training of stronger systems by adding more data. Finally\, I will introduce direct speech-to-text translation\, where a single system is used to translate speech into text in a target language without intermediate transcription. This is an exciting research area that is experiencing fast growth and attracting more and more groups from academia and industry\, and some of its fundamental problems are still unsolved.

SUMMARY:Spanish Literature and Linguistics Workshop on Correlations
DESCRIPTION:Correlations: What do Sports have to do with Literature?\nEveryone is used to listening and expressing statements like “the more you play sports\, the healthier you will be\, the less you will weigh”. These sentences state a correlation between two variables: an increase in the first variable (sport) is associated with a modification in the second one (health\, weight). Correlations and regression analysis are methods applied in several fields (from basic statistics to Machine Learning)\, but they are rarely applied in the Humanities. In this two-hour workshop\, we will learn how to use linguistic and literary features to evaluate several hypotheses about Spanish literature. \nThe workshop will be taught by José Calvo\, a Ph.D. candidate working with the e-Humanities junior research group “Computational Literary Genre Stylistics” (CLiGS) at the University of Würzburg. Along with fellow colleagues from other universities\, José has helped to develop several projects such as catalogs\, collections of eBooks\, corpora\, dictionaries or websites\, and has a background in corpus linguistics and lexicography. He has acquired teaching experience at Universität Würzburg\, Universität Kassel\, and Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. \nOrganised with the specific purpose of reaching the students of Spanish Language and Literature who are interested in DH\, this workshop will be taught completely in Spanish. Attendance is free\, but due to space restrictions places are limited. So to join the workshop\, it is necessary to register by sending a message to Rocío Ortuño: rocio.ortuno@uantwerpen.be. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Magdalena Turska
DESCRIPTION:Magdalena Turska is a software developer and co-author of the TEI Publisher – a publication platform for TEI/XML corpora. She is a contributor to eXist-db project and since 2015 she is an elected member of the TEI Consortium’s Technical Council. As a DiXiT Marie Curie experienced researcher at IT Services\, University of Oxford she was a member of the TEI Simple project and one of the authors of the TEI Processing Model. Earlier she was a co-editor of the Corpus of Ioannes Dantiscus’ Texts and Correspondence. She works on various academic projects in Digital Humanities\, teaches advanced TEI encoding\, XSLT and XQuery and often helps projects with data modeling and application design. \nWhat does it take to publish an edition?\nWhat this talk is not\, is a lesson in textual scholarship. What it aims to be instead\, is a rough guide to the complicated interweave of standards\, technologies and logistical issues behind the publishing process\, and some advice on how to navigate this maze. We’ll then try to follow a chain of serendipitous events which eventually led to a proposal for an editors-first\, standards-always and community-foremost tool that was brought to life in the new version 5 of the TEI Publisher. I will talk about some projects that were our inspirations\, guinea pigs\, challenges and benefactors (usually all at once) and hope to discuss the future of editions with you! \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the UAntwerp’s Summer School on “Digital Humanities” Registration for the summer school itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all. Please register by sending an email to platformdh@uantwerpen.be.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Huw Jones
DESCRIPTION:Huw Jones is Head of the Digital Library Unit and Digital Humanities Coordinator at Cambridge University Library\, working with researchers\, curators\, and technical staff to make the Library’s special collections accessible online. Cambridge Digital Library is our main platform for digital humanities\, containing more than 30\,000 items\, from the papers of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin\, to manuscript and photograph collections representing the global scope of the Library’s physical collections. \nIIIF and Digital Humanities\nCambridge Digital Library has been supporting content-driven Digital Humanities projects since the online launch of the Isaac Newton papers in 2011\, covering everything from 3\,000 year-old Oracle Bones to aerial photography from the 1940s. In this talk\, I will explore some of the developments we have seen during this period – imaging as an investigative research activity\, digital resources as datasets\, the formalisation of digital humanities in Cambridge\, and the growing emphasis on collaboration in the field as a whole. In this context\, I will focus on IIIF as an open and collaborative technology which is having a huge impact not just on the technical possibilities for the sharing and analysis of image data\, but also on the culture of digital humanities. Finally I will look at what’s new in digital humanities\, and how a similar open and collaborative approach might open up new possibilities in new areas. \n\nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the UAntwerp’s Summer School on “Digital Humanities” Registration for the summer school itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Workshop: The Computational Scrawl
DESCRIPTION:The members of Algolit are very happy to welcome Allison Parrish for a workshop in the framework of the exhibition Data Workers in the evening before she will give a talk in Passa Porta. \nThis two-part workshop examines the physical gesture and material artifacts of the act of writing\, as seen through the lens of computation and digital media. Taking contemporary and historical practices in asemic poetry\, experimental typography and automatic writing as inspiration\, participants will use the Python programming language to prototype speculative writing technologies that challenge conventional reading practices and notions of sense-making. \nThe goal of the workshop is twofold. First\, to introduce asemic and automatic writing practices as historical and contemporary practices and invite participants to expand on these practices with computation; second\, using asemic and automatic writing as a lens\, encourage discussion around the rhetoric and materiality of language in digital and computational contexts. \nAbout Allison:  \nAllison Parrish is a computer programmer\, poet\, educator and game designer whose teaching and practice address the unusual phenomena that blossom when language and computers meet\, with a focus on artificial intelligence and computational creativity. She is an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program\, where she earned her master’s degree in 2008. \nNamed “Best Maker of Poetry Bots” by the Village Voice in 2016\, Allison’s computer-generated poetry has recently been published in Ninth Letter and Vetch. She is the author of “@Everyword: The Book” (Instar\, 2015)\, which collects the output of her popular long-term automated writing project that tweeted every word in the English language. The word game “Rewordable\,” designed by Allison in collaboration with Adam Simon and Tim Szetela\, was published by Penguin Random House in August 2017 after a successful round of Kickstarter funding. Her first full-length book of computer-generated poetry\, “Articulations\,” was published by Counterpath in 2018. \nThis workshop was sponsored by Dhu.F.

SUMMARY:About automatic writing and autocomplete: the poetics of technology
DESCRIPTION:Writing and reading are no longer the exclusive right of the paper. For most authors\, their practice is intimately intertwined with software and a networked infrastructure. What does it mean to consciously include this technological context in the literary creation process? How does the use of code – active or passive – change the notion of literature? What happens to the status of the author? And the role of the reader? \nOn Thursday 25 April\, Passa Porta organises an evening of debates on these topics\, starting with a lecture by Allison Parrish\, and continuing with a debate by Zaineb Hamdi and Cecilia Verheyden. The event was sponsored by DHu.F. \nLecture: Allison Parrish\n‘Lose Control:’ from Automatic Writing to Autocomplete\n“Automatic writing” refers to a process in which the human body is made to produce writing\, without apparent effort or conscious awareness. Psychologists study automatic writing to better understand how mind affects muscle; creative writers use it to circumvent writer’s block; surrealists practice it to recover a repressed primal consciousness; spiritualists use it to communicate with the dead. At first glance\, the practices of automatic writing and computer-generated writing—the former focused on physical bodies and the unconscious\, the latter on abstraction and algorithms—appear to be polar opposites. In this talk\, I argue that computer-generated writing is\, in fact\, a clear continuation of automatic writing’s tradition. Starting with a discussion of the experimental composition practice of Gertrude Stein—herself the author of several scientific studies on automatic writing—I show that the creative practice of computer-generated writing approximates the dissociative experience of traditional automatic writing\, working to avoid (as in Stein’s stated goal) “the things everybody is certain of seeing\, but which they do not actually see.” Further\, I argue that computer-generated writing\, as a variety of automatic writing\, produces artifacts that draw critical attention to the materiality of writing technologies and their surrounding physical and social context. \nAbout Allison:\nAllison Parrish is a computer programmer\, poet\, educator and game designer whose teaching and practice address the unusual phenomena that blossom when language and computers meet\, with a focus on artificial intelligence and computational creativity. She is an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program\, where she earned her master’s degree in 2008. Named “Best Maker of Poetry Bots” by the Village Voice in 2016\, Allison’s computer-generated poetry has recently been published in Ninth Letter and Vetch. She is the author of “@Everyword: The Book” (Instar\, 2015)\, which collects the output of her popular long-term automated writing project that tweeted every word in the English language. The word game “Rewordable\,” designed by Allison in collaboration with Adam Simon and Tim Szetela\, was published by Penguin Random House in August 2017 after a successful round of Kickstarter funding. Her first full-length book of computer-generated poetry\, “Articulations\,” was published by Counterpath in 2018. \nDebate: Zaineb Hamdi and Cecilia Verheyden\nInstagram Poetry and Online Direction\nYoung writers today also use software and networked technology without actively programming. Poets Rene Oskam and Zaineb Hamdi\, for example\, publish their poetry on instagram and have a virtual reading audience. For wtFOCK\, the director Cecilia Verheyden created a story world that only exists online. In the second part of the programme we will discuss the forms that virtual texts can take and the specific work processes of an instagram poet and online director. \nA video recording of the evening’s debate can be found here.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Mats Dahlström
DESCRIPTION:Mats Dahlström is an associate professor at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science\, the University of Borås. He has conducted research on cultural heritage digitisation\, scholarly editing\, bibliography\, text encoding and new media. He is active within the Scandinavian scholarly editing community and publishes regularly on the digital humanities scene. He participated as researcher and supervisor within the Marie Skłowdowska-Curie ITN “DiXiT” project (Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network)\, running 2013-2017. \nWhat We See on the Screen\nHowever you define digital humanities (DH)\, it often revolves around digitized objects at libraries and archives. In particular\, such digital reproductions are used within digital scholarly editions. There\, the digital facsimiles are not only illustrations supporting a scholarly text transcription\, but can also serve as research tools and instruments for accountability and accessibility. Nevertheless\, the “critical gaze” of scholarly editors and DH is directed at text transcriptions\, whereas digital facsimiles are often uncritically taken at face value. There seems to be room for an increased critical understanding of such images as interpretations based on scholarly informed deliberation. Partly\, this “face value” approach is fostered by the paradigm of mass digitization\, where image capture is considered a trivial and straight-forward task. But many projects and materials need other approaches\, and labels such as critical digitization (Dahlström 2010) or slow digitization (Prescott & Hughes 2018) suggest alternative strategies. In fact\, whereas several library digitization projects seem to take on the form of scholarly editing\, recent trends in digital scholarly editing such as documentary editing seem to overlap with library digitization. How do these activities relate to one another\, and what can they learn from each other? In this talk\, I will address some of the critical considerations libraries face when digitizing their holdings\, with significant bearing on the value and (re)usability of the digital reproductions when placed within a scholarly context. Examples from digitized library collections will be used to support a discussion on authenticity\, provenance\, accessibility\, openness\, (re)usability\, social engagement and collaborative efforts. \n\nParticipants: 17 \nDownload Slideshow (PDF\, 5.4MB) \n

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Franc Schuerewegen
DESCRIPTION:Franc Schuerewegen enseigne la littérature française et l’étude des médias à l’université d’Anvers. Parmi ses livres récents\, signalons Introduction à la méthode postextuelle. L’exemple proustien (Paris\, 2012)\, Lire de loin\, de près. Close vs distant reading (Paris\, 2014) et Le Vestiaire de Chateaubriand (Paris\, 2018). \nFranco Moretti vs Michel Charles ou les paradoxes de la distance\nJe m’intéresserai au procédé baptisé ’opérationnalisation’ que Franco Moretti décrit dans sa contribution à La Littérature au laboratoire (trad. fr. Ithaque Editions\, 2016). Les ordinateurs tournent à plein régime. Graphes\, cartes et arbres sont soigneusement produits. On est en pleine distant reading. Rien à voir\, dira-t-on\, avec ce qui occupe un Michel Charles\, champion de la microlecture ‘à la française’\, close reader compulsif et fier de l’être. Et pourtant\, et comme on va voir\, il s’agit là peut-être d’un faux antagonisme. Intéressons-nous\, pour parler comme Proust\, au ‘côté Moretti’ de Michel Charles\, démarche qui revient à apercevoir symétriquement un ‘côté Michel Charles’ chez Franco Moretti. Bref\, nous allons\, au pays des humanités numériques\, mettre les choses sens dessus dessous\, pour une meilleure hygiène intellectuelle.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Corina Koolen
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Corina Koolen is a postdoctoral fellow in digital humanities project The Riddle of Literary Quality\, conducted at the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands (Amsterdam). She defended her thesis\, Reading beyond the female\, successfully last May and is now brooding on other ways of making this world a tiny bit of a better place. \nGender and the Riddle of Literary Quality\nWe as readers like to think that we don’t have bias\, that we can judge books quite objectively. However\, when The Riddle of Literary Quality project did a large survey in the world of people who read Dutch-language books\, some subtle (and less subtle) gender biases came to light. In this talk\, Koolen explains what the team found and the dozen ways she tried to tease out the cause of this bias. Some of which failed\, and others which proved more successful. Part of this is a computer analysis of the texts of hundreds of novels: is gender really that important for writing style? Koolen will give the answer to this and other burning questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Verónica Romero Gómez
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Verónica Romero received the M.S. degree in Computer Science from “Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain)” (UPV) in 2005 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the same university in 2010. In 2005 she joined the Pattern Recognition and Human Language Technology group of the UPV where she has been working in several projects on Pattern Recognition and Handwritten Text Recognition. Her current fields of interest include pattern recognition\, multimodal interaction and applications to Handwritten Text Recognition and Digital Humanities. In these fields\, she has published more than 60 papers in journals\, conference proceedings and books. She is currently an active member of the EU project READ. Dr. Romero is a member of the Spanish Society for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI) and the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) \nHuman-Computer Interaction for Handwritten Text Image Processing in Digital Humanities\nThe paradigm for Handwritten Text Image Processing systems design in Digital Humanities has been shifting from the concept of full-automation\, i.e.\, systems where no human intervention is assumed\, to systems where the decision process is affected by human feedback. One remarkable example where this feedback is successfully used is handwritten document transcrition. Human-Computer Interaction directly allows to improve system accuracy combining the accuracy of the human expert with the efficiency of the automatic system. In this talk we present an interactive-predictive handwritten text transcription system and real user cases where this technology has been successfully used. In addition\, some studies about different modalities for human feedback are introduced. This multimodality directly allows to increase systems ergonomy and user acceptability. Finally\, additional technologies related with image processing\, such as key word spotting will be introduced. \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the UAntwerp’s Summer School on “Digital Humanities: Processing and Analysing Images.” Registration for the summer school itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Antwerp DH Summer School 2018: Processing and Analysing Images
DESCRIPTION:Whereas the Digital Humanities have traditionally had a strong orientation towards texts\, images have been rapidly gaining prominence in the field\, due to recent improvements in both computer hardware and software. Research increasingly goes beyond the mere digitisation of cultural artifacts and is exploring new ways of: \n\nopening up images to a larger audience through innovative protocols such as IIIF;\nanalysing image data through the use of advanced artificial intelligence;\nunderstanding handwritten textual documents\, whose contents have long remained inaccessible to computers.\n\nThis summer school offers an in-depth and hands-on curriculum to familiarise novice (digital) humanists with the state-of-the-art technologies that are nowadays available to researchers who take an active interest in ‘pixel-based’ artifacts in the Humanities. The tutorials will be given by established experts in their respective fields and will include the following topics: \n\nThe main descriptive mark-up protocols (including XML-TEI and ALTO-XML)\nThe IIIF protocol for making available images collection online (and its integration with content management platforms such as Omeka)\nModern methods (neural networks) from computer vision to analyse (e.g. classify) images.\nHandwritten Text Recognition (HTR) as an alternative to Optical Character Recognition (e.g. the Transkribus platform)\n\nEarly bird registration deadline: 30 April 2018. \nRegular registration deadline: 31 May 2018. \nFor more information\, please visit the Summer School’s website.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Hans Walter Gabler
DESCRIPTION:Hans Walter Gabler is Professor (retired) of English Literature and Editorial Scholarship at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich\, Germany\, and\, since 2007\, a Senior Research Fellow of the Institute of English Studies\, School of Advanced Study\, London University. He undertook\, as editor-in-chief\, the Critical and Synoptic Edition of James Joyce’s Ulysses (1984)\, and the critical editions of Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Manand Dubliners (both 1993). In Munich from 1996 to 2002\, he directed an interdisciplinary graduate programme on “Textual Criticism as Foundation and Method of the Historical Disciplines.” Through his research on writing processes he seeks to advance theory and practice of the digital scholarly edition in a Digital Humanities environment. His recent collection\, Text Genetics in Literary Modernism and Other Essays\, may be traced and sampled via https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product.php/629?629.  \n“James Joyce’s Ulysses into the Digital Age: Forty Years of Steering an Edition through Turbulences of Scholarship and Reception”\nIn the mid-1970s\, I began to become aware of the challenges ahead for whoever might muster the courage to edit James Joyce’s Ulysses. At the same time\, I heard of expectations that the future for scholarly editing might lie in computer support. \nHere was a peak in World Literature of the 20th century for which notes\, drafts\, a fair copy\, typescripts\, serial publications\, and multiple proofs of the first edition had been preserved; and for which the first edition published in 1922 carried a note of apology: “The publisher asks the reader’s indulgence for typographical errors unavoidable in the exceptional circumstances.” Closer scrutiny laid bare a wide field of departures in the first edition from the text progressively written by Joyce. From all extant evidence\, it was possible to declare a double aim for a scholarly edition: one\, to critically establish a reading text verified against the full range of document evidence\, and two\, to display the growth of the text through all its variation and accretion from fair copy to first edition. Work over seven years with a team of dedicated collaborators produced the three-volume Critical and Synoptic Edition published in 1984. It was received with enthusiasm\, yet soon also severely attacked. Meanwhile\, its reading text has become the standard Ulysses reference text. Its display of the growth of the text\, by contrast\, is still to be searched in-depth for its critical potential. The medium to explore that potential is the digital medium. Today’s updating of our digital archive of the 1984 edition is enabling a generation renewal of the Critical and Synoptic Edition of 1984 in book form into a dynamic online Digital Critical and Synoptic Edition in-the-making for James Joyce’s Ulysses. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the 26th International James Joyce Symposium\, titled “The Art of James Joyce.” Attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Christof Schöch
DESCRIPTION:Image by Ulrike Henny-Krahmer.\nProfessor of Digital Humanities at the University of Trier\, Germany\, and Co-Director of the Trier Center for Digital Humanities. Also\, mentor of the early-career research group Computational Literary Genre Stylistics (CLiGS) at the University of Würzburg\, chair of the COST Action Distant Reading for European Literary History\, and president of the Digital Humanities Association for the German-speaking area (DHd). \nTowards a Research Agenda for Data-driven Approaches to Literary Periods\nIf literary periods can be and have been shaped by literary historians after the fact\, what does that mean for data-driven approaches to literary history? In other words\, are literary periods post-hoc constructions and if they are\, does it follow that literary evolution is in fact characterized by slow\, continuous change? Or is there textual evidence for\, say\, an alternation of phases of relative stability and phases of fast-paced change? What kind of textual evidence\, on what levels of description\, would be required to define the chronological limits and textual characteristics of literary periods? These are some of the questions I would like to address in this talk.\n\nIn order to do so\, I will approach the issue from two related perspectives: First\, I will scrutinize recent work in data-driven\, quantitative approaches to periodization in literary history for answers to the above-mentioned questions. I will then build on this assessment and describe some of the key practical as well as methodological challenges the field is currently facing. Ultimately\, what will emerge from this double perspective is a research agenda for data-driven\, quantitative approaches to literary periodization\, a field of study in which\, I argue\, most of the work remains to be done.\n\nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the 2018 edition of the annual conference of The Coordinating Committee for the Comparative History of Literatures in European Languages Series (CHLEL): ‘Period Shapers in Literary History’. Attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Roxanne Wyns
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT\n\nThis event has been rescheduled.\n\n \nRoxanne Wyns studied History of Art and Archaeology at the Free University of Brussels (VUB). Since 2009 she worked on several European projects\, specialising in standards\, multilingual thesaurus management\, data interoperability and aggregation processes. At LIBIS – KU Leuven she supports KU Leuven and its partners in realizing their digital strategy. She is involved in several research infrastructure projects and supports the ‘Services for researchers’ in the framework of Research Data Management (RDM). Roxanne is actively involved in the IIIF community and is a member of the Dariah-EU Scientific Advisory Board. \nInternational Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). Sharing high resolution images across institutional boundaries\nIIIF or the International Image Interoperability Framework is a community-developed framework for sharing high-resolution images in an efficient and standardized way across institutional boundaries. Using an IIIF manifest URL\, a researcher can pull image based resources and related contextual information such as the structure of a complex object or document\, metadata and rights information into any IIIF compliant viewer such as the Mirador viewer. Simply put\, a researcher can access high resolution images from the British Library and from the KU Leuven Libraries in a single viewer for research. This lecture will introduce IIIF and its concepts\, highlight projects and viewers\, and give an in-depth view of its current and future application options for DH research. \n\nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Gerrit Brüning
DESCRIPTION:Gerrit Brüning is a postdoctoral researcher at Goethe University of Frankfurt. He received his PhD in German Studies and has been affiliated to the Faust edition from its beginnings in 2009. Currently he is working on a new critically established text of Goethe’s Faust II\, which will appear in print this autumn. \nGenetic editing and textual history. The case of Goethe’s Faust\nIn his lecture\, Gerrit Brüning introduces the key concepts and features of the Faust edition\, which is published in an advanced beta stage (beta.faustedition.net)\, and nearing completion. The genesis of Goethe’s Faust tragedy spans a period of about 60 years. Individual stages of its conceptual and textual history have survived in hundreds of manuscripts with more than 2000 written pages. The Faust edition gives access to this material\, enabling the user to find all witnesses for every single passage of the work and to explore images and transcriptions in an intuitive way. Started in 2009\, the project played an important role in the development of genetic or documentary TEI XML encoding. \nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Thorsten Ries
DESCRIPTION:Thorsten Ries is a Postdoctoral Researcher (FWO) at the Institute of Modern German Literature at Ghent University\, Belgium. He studied and worked at Hamburg University and JHU Baltimore. His main research areas are German literature of the 18. and 20.-21. century (Thomas Kling\, Gottfried Benn\, Friedrich Hölderlin\, and others)\, theory\, methodology and practice of scholarly editing\, genetic criticism\, digital humanities\, literary theory\, methodology and discipline history of the “Germanistik”. At present\, he is working on applications of digital forensics in philology\, textual and genetic criticism and bibliography. \nDigital Forensics in the Humanities: Beyond Philology\nSince Matthew Kirschenbaum’s Mechanisms. New Media and the Forensic Imagination (2008)\, digital forensics became not only a toolset for born-digital archiving and philology\, but also a shifted the perspective on the digital cultural heritage of our times and on questions of the “burdens of proof” under the digital condition. This lecture endeavors to shed light on the impact of digital forensics on the historical humanities\, discussing sample cases and arguments about born-digital historical primary sources. It will make the case that digital forensic literacy and historical computing knowledge will have to be key components in historical humanities education and political discourse.\n\n\n\nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Sofia Ares Oliveira
DESCRIPTION:Sofia Ares Oliveira received her MSc in Electrical Engineering from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\, Switzerland\, where she specialized in signal processing. Since 2016\, she has been working at the Digital Humanities Laboratory at EPFL. Her research focuses on developing computer vision and machine learning tools to process archival documents\, which range from cadastral maps to handwritten manuscripts and printed documents. \nMachine Vision Algorithms on Cadaster Plans\nCadaster plans are cornerstones for reconstructing dense representations of the history of the city. However\, as some of these handwritten documents are more than 200 years old\, the establishment of processing pipeline for interpreting them remains extremely challenging. The talk will present the implementation of an automated process capable of segmenting and interpreting Napoleonic Cadaster Maps of the Veneto Region dating from the beginning of the 19th century. The system extracts the geometry of each of the drawn parcels\, classifies\, reads and interprets the handwritten labels. This efficient and automated process opens new perspectives to reconstitute the past. \n\nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:INT Workshop Antwerp
DESCRIPTION:Op 25 Oktober 2017 organiseert DHuF een trainingsworkshop in samenwerking met het nieuw opgerichte Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal (INT) en de letterenfaculteit van de Universiteit Antwerpen. Op deze studienamiddag stelt het INT zich voor. Er wordt naast een algemene inleiding over het instituut\, nader ingegaan op wat het INT voor “digital humanists” te bieden heeft. Er wordt ingezoomd op corpusbouw\, verrijking van teksten en het doorzoekbaar maken daarvan\, met illustraties van hoe een onderzoeker dit ook voor zijn of haar eigen materiaal kan. Er wordt ook uiteengezet welke rol lexicale informatie bij het doorzoeken van met name historische teksten kan spelen.\n\n \n\nProgramma\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:00-14:30 | Frieda Steurs: An Unexpected Party.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Ray Siemens
DESCRIPTION:Selection from The Devonshire Manuscript (Add. MS 17492)\, folio 2r.\n© The British Library \nRay Siemens is Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Victoria\, in English and Computer Science\, and past Canada Research Chair in Humanities Computing (2004-15). He is founding editor of the electronic scholarly journal Early Modern Literary Studies\, and his publications include\, among others\, Blackwell’s Companion to Digital Humanities (2004\, 2015 with Schreibman and Unsworth)\, Blackwell’s Companion to Digital Literary Studies (2007\, with Schreibman)\, A Social Edition of the Devonshire MS (2012\, 2015; MRTS/Iter\, Wikibooks)\, Literary Studies in the Digital Age (2014; MLA\, with Price)\, and The Lyrics of the Henry VIII MS (2017; RETS). He directs the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project\, the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI)\, and the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab\, recently serving also as Vice President / Director of the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences for Research Dissemination\, Chair of the MLA Committee on Scholarly Editions\, and Chair of the international Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO). \nOpen Social Scholarship and the Scholarly Edition\nThis talk considers the nature of editorial methodological experimentation\, in particular exploring the scholarly edition in the context of open social scholarship.  Open social scholarship involves creating and disseminating research and research technologies to a broad audience of specialists and active non-specialists in ways that are accessible and significant. As a concept\, it has grown from roots in open access and open scholarship movements\, the digital humanities’ methodological commons and community of practice\, contemporary online practices\, and public facing “citizen scholarship” to include i) developing\, sharing\, and implementing research in ways that consider the needs and interests of both academic specialists and communities beyond academia; ii) providing opportunities to co-create\, interact with\, and experience openly-available cultural data; iii) exploring\, developing\, and making public tools and technologies under open licenses to promote wide access\, education\, use\, and repurposing; and iv) enabling productive dialogue between academics and non-academics.  Our example will be the social edition of the Devonshire MS (BL Add MS 17492)\, the first sustained example of men and women writing together in the English literary tradition\, by a research team using crowd-sourcing technologies and operating in conjunction with an advisory group representing key methodological and area expertise. \n See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Devonshire_Manuscript\, for this edition’s Wikimedia publication\, also published in fixed electronic format (PDF) via Iter Academic Press and\, in print\, in partnership with Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies. \nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Suzanne Mpouli
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Mpouli is a postdoctoral researcher at the ERIC Lab (Lyon\, France) affiliated to the project “Detecting metaphors in scientific discourse”. She became interested in digital humanities and computational rhetoric during her MA in Linguistics at the University of Antwerp. Her PhD thesis\, funded by the Labex Observatory of Literary Life (Sorbonne Universités)\, focused on the automatic annotation of similes in literary texts written in English and in French. \nComputing Similes in French and English Literary Texts\nSimiles such as “Float like a butterfly\, sting like a bee” abound in everyday language and are generally said to be particularly creative as well as stylistically relevant in literary texts.  In her talk\, Suzanne will discuss the specificities and challenges related to the automatic detection of similes for literary purposes. To illustrate the interest of this task\, she will present as case study the use of colour similes in a corpus of French and British novels published between 1810 and 1950. \n\n\nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Jeroen De Gussem
DESCRIPTION:Jeroen De Gussem has a master’s degree in philology (Latin-English)\, and is a joint PhD student on the BOF  project “Collaborative Authorship in Twelfth Century Latin Literature: A Stylometric Approach to Gender\, Synergy and Authority” (2015-2019)\, supervised by prof. dr. Mike Kestemont (UAntwerp)\, prof. dr. Jeroen Deploige (Ghent University) and prof. dr. Wim Verbaal (Ghent University). The project seeks to reassess the collaborative process by which twelfth-century Latin prose authors such as Bernard of Clairvaux\, Hildegard of Bingen\, Peter Abelard and Suger of St. Denis were accustomed to compose their works by using computational stylistics\, an increasingly popular field within Digital Humanities. \nThe Exalted Expert vs. The Exact Experiment: Authorship Attribution\, Stylometry and Literary Theory.\nIn his presentation\, Jeroen will confront traditional methods of authorship attribution with more recent computational methods for determining the authorship of a text. How does “distant reading” (as coined by Franco Moretti) teach us anything about literature and the way in which it is composed? Can computational formalism (or perhaps computational stylistics) capture “style” by focusing on a so-called “stylome”\, a collection of features in an authors’ personal language use which can be quantified as data and visualized in attractive figures? Where does computational stylistics succeed where traditional stylistics have failed\, and vice versa? Are computational stylistics as “objective” (or “unsupervised”) as they purport to be\, or do our results only reflect the answers we were hoping to find? \nIn meandering through such questions\, it becomes clear that – although they seem very different at the outset – the “exalted expert” from historical text editing and literary theory is but little different to the “exact experiment”. Yet\, both methods serve a distinctive purpose and deserve their respective position within literary theory. \nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Wido van Peursen
DESCRIPTION:Wido van Peursen is professor at VU University and the initiator of the award-winning SHEBANQ project. \nA Statistical Approach to Syntactic Variation. The Case of the Hebrew Bible.\nIn his talk\, Wido van Peursen shows how combining traditional scholarship with a computational approach permits us to explore linguistic variation in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament from new perspectives. The Old Testament provides a diverse and most compelling field of study. It has a complex composition history that\, according to many scholars\, stretches out over a period of more than a millennium. Naturally\, this corpus of texts presents a great linguistic diversity. For long\, researchers have attempted to understand and explain this diversity in all its facets. The promising results of quantitative methods show once more how Digital Humanities can provide a major contribution to an ongoing discussion; respecting\, but also improving an honourable scholarly tradition. \n\nparticipants: 13 \nDownload slideshow
