SUMMARY:Workshop 'The Learnable Handwriter' by Malamatenia Vlachou Efstathiou
DESCRIPTION:Join us are for an innovative workshop led by PhD researcher Malamatenia Vlachou Efstathiou (IRHT-CNRS and ENPC) at the University of Antwerp. This workshop forms the introduction to using the Learnable Handwriter\, a method that combines paleography and computational methods. \nThe workshop includes a talk and a hands-on session on the Learnable Handwriter\, a computational method for interpretable and evidence-based paleographic analysis. The approach offers a way to study the shape of letters in historical handwriting using artificial intelligence in an interpretable manner that supports traditional scholarly practices. It enables the systematic and objective comparison of script styles\, bringing together visual observation with measurable data. The Learnable Handwriter automatically learns typical letter shapes (prototypes) from manuscript images. These prototypes can be thought of as the average representation of a character in a chosen dataset\, a sort of data-driven ideal alphabet. It provides qualitative and quantitative tools for comparison as well as graphical (visualization) tools for analysis. More information on the method can be found here. \nThe workshop will take place at the city campus of the University of Antwerp and takes place over the course of two days: \nMay 22: Introduction and technical preliminaries \n\n13:00–14:30: Presentation of work/case studies by Malamatenia Vlachou Efstathiou\n15:00–16:30: Installing the Learnable Handwriter and using datasets\n\nMay 23: How to use the prototypes for different palaeographical analyses \n\n09:00–10:30: “Classification”: looking at the code\, results\, and limitations\n11:00–12:30: Variability analysis\n\nIf you are interested in attending\, please register by sending an e-mail to Caroline.Vandyck@uantwerpen.be

SUMMARY:Networking Event: DH Virtual Discussion Group - Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Are you a Digital Humanities student or early career researcher in Belgium who would like to discuss DH with other early career researchers in the Belgian DH community? If so\, you might be interested in joining the DH Virtual Discussion Group for ECRs! \nThe DH Virtual Discussion Group is a joint initiative organized by individuals at three different Belgian institutions. We strive to involve speakers from various Belgian institutions and encourage participation from all those who are interested in DH and are located at any Belgian institution. This year\, the core organizers are Leah Budke (KU Leuven Libraries Artes)\, Sven Lieber (KBR)\, Paavo van der Eecken (University of Antwerp)\, and Loren Verreyen (University of Antwerp). Over the past years\, the series has become a regular event. The fall 2024 edition proudly marks our ninth term. \nOur sessions this fall will continue the “under-the-hood” format\, which entails a volunteer from our community providing a thirty-minute overview of a digital project implementing a given tool\, approach\, or platform. This is not meant to be a polished research presentation\, or to present findings or results\, but rather to give our community a behind-the-scenes look at how decisions were made and why specific tools were chosen or developed. The hope is also that this presenter will give attendees some ideas about how to get started implementing a specific tool or workflow\, and that they can also answer questions or contribute to a discussion on other projects in our community that might be using similar methodologies or addressing similar issues. This “under-the-hood” session format allows us to have focused discussions around a specific project where we can learn from each other in an informal way. In addition\, by implementing this format we can maintain the low threshold for contributing and engaging in the conversations. It also allows us to learn about the diverse projects being done in the Benelux region related to digital humanities (an added bonus!). \nSession 3\nMonday 16 December\, 15h-16h30 CET via Teams\nSpeaker(s): Fien Messens\, Ghent University\nTitle: Raw to Refined: The Case of the Navez Project\nAbstract: (Art) historical data can be tricky—often fragmented\, incomplete\, and curated—making it challenging to study the impact of key figures. However\, the remaining data in 2024 offers valuable insights into earlier societies. In this presentation\, I will address the challenges of identifying historical figures\, such as artists\, whose identities are often obscured by incomplete records or inconsistent name spellings. Together\, we will explore how Digital Humanities methods\, including Linked Open Data (LOD)\, can assist in contextualizing these individuals (and how not). \nWe’ll step back into the 19th century to examine the surviving data on Belgium’s most important neoclassical painter\, François-Joseph Navez (1787-1869). This research is part of the FWO-funded Navez Project\, a collaboration between Ghent University and KBR. \nTo join the Discussion Group\, you will need to register for their mailing list. Once you have registered for the mailing list\, you will receive all further communication about the initiative. You can join the mailing list at any time. \nThe links for the virtual meetings are sent out via email and shared in the Slack community the morning of the event. To request to join the Slack community\, contact Leah Budke.

Often\, these are bold\, far-reaching questions which\, while ambitious\, are simply impossible to operationalise. Usually\, these restraints are of practical\, financial or some other concern. In my talk\, I propose a methodology which sidesteps these issues: computer simulations. With computer simulations\, you can build your own virtual societies which you can establish in any way you like\, a practice conceptually analogous to “The Sims” games. The idea is that in these simulations\, you can distill social relations between people to just the mechanisms you are interested in as a researcher. In this virtual world free of noise\, budget contraints or ethical commissions\, you are free to change the rules according to which agents\, virtual inhabitants\, behave. In this way\, you are able to test what the theoretical limits are to the specific behaviour or theories you are interested in. \nWhile it is clear that computer simulations could be used for a plethora of different research questions within the humanities (i.e. history\, archaeology)\, I will present how simulations can be used for the study of language change. To this end\, I will explain the plans for a case study from my FWO project\, which is centred around how computer simulations can help us understand how frequency of use shapes language change. I will give concrete examples of the types of questions I would like to answer with the computer simulations\, which will give a better idea of the genre of questions this methodology is able to answer in the first place. At the same time\, I will emphasise the shortcomings and pitfalls of computer simulations as a research tool\, because unfortunately\, unlike “The Sims”\, good research has no cheat codes. \nTo join the Discussion Group\, you will need to register for their mailing list. Once you have registered for the mailing list\, you will receive all further communication about the initiative. You can join the mailing list at any time. \nThe links for the virtual meetings are sent out via email and shared in the Slack community the morning of the event.

In the pursuit of these solutions\, hearing therapy research encounters methodological complexities that require careful consideration. This paper introduces the MuLiSSA project\, which aims to address these challenges and advance hearing assessment and rehabilitation. \nOur research targets the shift from traditional in-booth speech audiometry to self-administered assessments via wireless audio streaming\, increasing accessibility across settings. We validate the feasibility of boothless self-testing\, accounting for technical and environmental constraints. \nTo improve precision in speech audiometry\, we explore techniques for identifying phoneme errors in patients\, aiming to enhance personalized hearing device settings and rehabilitation outcomes. Additionally\, we address multilingual speech testing to enable comparable scores across languages\, breaking language barriers in hearing healthcare. We also discuss strategies for integrating diverse research methodologies\, addressing interdisciplinary challenges\, and managing funding complexities in methodologically diverse projects. \nTo join the Discussion Group\, you will need to register for their mailing list. Once you have registered for the mailing list\, you will receive all further communication about the initiative. You can join the mailing list at any time. \nThe links for the virtual meetings are sent out via email and shared in the Slack community the morning of the event.

SUMMARY:Guest lecture: Melvin Wevers on Working with Audio Files
DESCRIPTION:For Platform{DH} we open up some guest lectures given in the Master Digital Text Analysis. First up: Melvin Wever’s guest lecture on working with audio files for the course Computational Literary Studies. \nDescription \nIn this guest lecture\, we will work on audio files. Besides loading\, editing\, and visualising audio files\, we will extract different kinds of features from audio. These features can be used for all kinds of machine learning tasks\, such as classification. In the second part of the lecture\, we will work on speech-to-text algorithms to convert speech into text and detect different speakers in an audio file. \nAbout Melvin Wevers \nSince 2020\, Melvin Wevers is an Assistant Professor in Digital History at the University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on the application of computational methods to model historical processes\, by combining insights from the philosophy of history with the affordances of modeling techniques\, such as time series analysis\, bayesian statistics\, deep/machine learning\, and information theory. \nThe lecture will be held in English and is free to attend. However\, registration is required as spaces are limited. Please confirm your attendance by sending an RSVP e-mail to platformdh@uantwerpen.be.

SUMMARY:Lecture series: Mike Kestemont
DESCRIPTION:The wandering verse: the computational detection of micro-intertexts in medieval literature \nIntertextuality is a ubiquitous concept in literary studies\, which – because of its notoriously open-ended nature – covers a variety of correspondences between texts. Signaling intertexts is an important editorial responsibility\, because it can deepen one’s reading experience of a literary work. Text reuse detection has become a popular task in the computational humanities too\, although its evaluation is complicated by the lack of exhaustively annotated datasets of intertexts. Historic scholarship on medieval epics provides us with a wealthy inventory of micro-intertexts between medieval works\, although their status is still hotly debated. Some philological communities have been keen on identifying intertexts as authorial features\, whereas others have stressed their conventional status\, especially in the wake of the oral-formulaic theory. In this talk\, I will present a study on Middle Dutch epic literature\, as well as an extension of this work to contemporary Middle English literature\, in particular the bookshop theory surrounding the famous Auchinleck manuscript. I will argue that the intricate web woven by computationally detected intertexts can invite radically innovative readings of medieval literature.  \nMike Kestemont\nMike Kestemont is a research professor in the department of Literature at the University of Antwerp (Belgium). He specializes in computational text analysis for the Digital Humanities. Whereas his work has a strong focus on historic literature\, his previous research has covered a wide range of topics in literary history. Together with Folgert Karsdorp and Allen Riddell he has written a textbook on data science for the Humanities. Together with his Polish colleagues Maciej Eder and Jan Rybicki he is involved in the Computational Stylistics Group. Mike lives in Brussels (http://mikekestemont.github.io/)\, tweets in English (@Mike_Kestemont) and codes in Python (https://github.com/mikekestemont).  \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the Antwerp Summer University Summer School “Digital Humanities: Computer-assisted genetic editing\, from handwritten text recognition to keystroke logging ”. 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:Antwerp DH Summer School 2023 - Computer-assisted genetic editing: from handwritten text recognition to keystroke logging
DESCRIPTION:Intensive 5-day entry level hands-on course on making digital editions of analogue and born-digital texts. In this course\, participants will acquire a set of basic computer skills such as XML and handwritten text recognition to design a TEI-compatible Digital Scholarly Edition and deploy keystroke logging technology to record and analyse born-digital texts.  \nRegistration information:\n\nEarly bird registration deadline: 10 April 2023.\nRegular registration deadline: 30 April 2023.\n\nFor more information and registration\, please visit the website. \npreliminary programme\nMONDAY | Introduction and Digital Scholarly Editing\nDigital Scholarly editing\, theory and practice\, HTR\, XML \nWe will start the week with the theoretical background of digital scholarly editing and handwritten text recognition. \nTUESDAY | Handwritten Text Recognition\nTranskribus\, TEI-XML \nOn the second day\, we will recap what we have learned about HTR\, and we will focus more specifically on the workflow in Transkribus. Then\, we will do a creative exercise: writing a short story by hand. This will be the material to work with during the day as we will run the HTR model to ‘transcribe’ your own handwriting. In the end\, we will export the results in TEI-XML. \nWEDNESDAY | Keystroke Logging\nInputlog\, keystroke logging\, TEI-XML \nOn the third day\, we will build upon the creative exercise of Tuesday: we will revise the short story on the computer and logging the writing process with a keystroke logger. We will then use these keystroke logging files to learn the basic technologies involved in making a (genetic) digital edition. As a first step\, we will encode all the textual operations (e.g.\, new text production\, additions\, deletions) in TEI-XML together with the timestamps of each operation. These XML files will be used the next day as we move on to the visualisation of the reconstructions of the digital writing processes. \nTHURSDAY | eXist-db\neXist-db app\, HTML\, CSS \nOn the fourth day\, we will learn the basics of working with eXist-db. After jointly installing eXist-db\, we will use a pre-made eXist-db application\, which can visualise the keystroke logging transcription. In the afternoon we will visit a museum. \nFRIDAY | Visualising Manuscripts and Born-Digital Writing Processes\nXPath\, XSLT\, HTML\, CSS \nOn the last day\, we will build upon what we have learned in the eXist-db session to visualise the writing process. We will learn the basics of XPath and XSLT as well as HTML and CSS\, to make modifications to the existing visualisation. We will end the day with a final discussion.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Enrique Manjavacas Arevalo
DESCRIPTION:Historical Language Models and their Application to Word Sense Disambiguation\nLarge Language Models (LLMs) have become the cornerstone of current methods in Computational Linguistics. As the Humanities look towards computational methods in order to analyse large quantities of text\, the question arises as to how these models are best developed and applied to the specificities of their domains. In this talk\, I will address the application of LLMs to Historical Languages\, following up on the MacBERTh project. In the context of the development of LLMs for Historical Languages\, I will address how they can be specifically fine-tuned with efficiency to tackle the problem of Word Sense Disambiguation. In a series of experiments relying on data from the Oxford English Dictionary\, I will highlight how non-parametric and metric learning approaches can be an interesting alternative to traditional fine-tuning methods that rely on classifiers that learn to disambiguate specific lemmas. \nEnrique Manjavacas Arevalo\nEnrique Manjavacas Arevalo is currently a post-doc at the University of Leiden\, working in the MacBERTh project developing Large Language Models for Historical Languages. He obtained a PhD at the University of Antwerp (2021) with a dissertation on computational approaches to text reuse detection. \nThe lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Lecture series: Nicholas Cornia
DESCRIPTION:Rediscovering the performance practice of musicians in the long 19th century through handwritten annotations on music scores.\nFAAM\, Flemish Archive for Annotated Music\, is a database and research platform aiming to revive the performances of musicians from the 19th and early 20th century through the study of their annotations on music scores. The Heritage Library of the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp provides a substantial collection of historical annotated scores made by Flemish amateur musicians\, performers\, conductors\, and composers of the long 19th century.\n\n\nSources with annotations are usually neglected during typical digitalization projects\, where the librarians tend to favorise the clearest and most intact exemplars for their digital collections. Yet\, scores annotated by musicians of the past provide a huge source for understanding the performance practice of the scribe’s period.\n\n\nBesides the above-described value for music performers and researchers\, the resulting digital corpus will be a valuable resource for testing of new models in the field of Optical Music Recognition and Music Information Retrieval\, given the challenges provided by the semantic complexity of Common Western Music Notation\n\nNicholas Cornia\nNicholas Cornia\, born in Rome in 1989\, considers himself neither a scientist nor an artist\, but rather a special combination of the two. He studied Mathematics and Physics at the University La Sapienza of Rome. After two years as Phd student at the Informatics Department of the University of Amsterdam he decided to dedicate himself to music at the Royal Conservatoire of Ghent\, where he studied Classical Singing\, Music Theory and Pedagogy. \nSince 2018 he is active as artistic director of the ensemble Le Vecchie Musiche\, creating original musical projects based on interdisciplinary research. In 2022\, he joined the research group Labo XIX&XX at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp as the main investigator of the FAAM project.\n\n\nThe lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Lecture series: Megan Gooch
DESCRIPTION:Failure to connect: exploring the human relationships at the heart of digital humanities\nDigital humanities means many things to many people – we talk of DH as being a range of methods\, technologies\, theoretical approaches to ask and answer research questions. But unlike traditional forms of humanities research\, the research projects is not often one that can be tackled alone. DH nearly always requires collaboration with people from different subject domains\, with technical experts and often with non-academic staff such as librarians\, museum staff or administrative support. \nThis paper explores the impact of this growth in collaboration through the lens of failure and what happens when collaborations and partnerships don’t go as planned. We have all experienced failure in our professional lives\, but it is rarely acknowledged due to risks to reputation or to future funding. But by exploring what can go wrong\, we can identify some of the key collaborative skills needed by today’s digital humanists\, and begin to understand how to equip the researchers of the future to thrive. \n\nMegan Gooch\nDr Megan Gooch is the Head of the Centre for Digital Scholarship at the University of Oxford\, and Director of the Digital Humanities @ Oxford Summer School. She works in the Bodleian Libraries and University administration service to support digital scholarship across the University. Megan previously worked in the museums sector and held jobs at Historic Royal Palaces and the British Museum in curatorial\, public engagement and research roles. \nImage: © Photo by Jono on Unsplash \nThe lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Francqui Chair: William Marx
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Francqui Foundation awards three International Francqui Professor of Chairs\, which should allow the stay of a foreign scientist in Belgium for an uninterrupted period of three to six months. Professor William Marx (Collège de France) is laureate of the International Francqui Chair 2021-2022 at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Antwerp. In honour of the Francqui Chair\, several events are organised\, including one with a strong connection to digital humantities: “Lost and often found works”. \nLost and often found works\n\n\nWilliam Marx’s 2021-2022 course at the Collège de France centered around “lost works\,” as “there are more lost works than there are existing ones.” Coincidentally\, an international group of researchers in medieval studies published an important article in Science on the “forgotten books” of the Middle Ages. Here again\, the literary scholar is invited to look at what is not or no longer present\, but what might be recreated with the help of digital humanities’ tools. October 14\, we organize a debate between William Marx\, our Antwerp digital humanists\, and other guests on this question at the University of Antwerp. The event will be held in English and French. Activities related to the Francqui Chair are open to all. \nAbout William Marx\nWilliam Marx is professor at the Collège de France (Paris)\, where he holds the chair of comparative literature. His books\, translated into a dozen languages\, include Naissance de la critique moderne (2002)\, Les Arrière-gardes au XXe siècle (2004)\, L’Adieu à la littérature (2005)\, Vie du lettré (2009)\, Le Tombeau d’Œdipe (2012)\, La Haine de la littérature (2015)\, Un savoir gai (2018)\, Vivre dans la bibliothèque du monde (2020) and Des étoiles nouvelles (2021). Professor Marx will hold the Francqui International Chair at the University of Antwerp during the fall of 2022. \nLes œuvres perdues\, et parfois retrouvées\nWilliam Marx enseigne au Collège de France (2021-2022) un cours sur les « œuvres perdues » : « Il y a plus d’œuvres perdues qu’existantes ». Un groupe international de chercheurs en médiévistique vient de publier un important article dans la reçue Science à propos des « livres oubliés » du Moyen Age. Ici encore l’idée est qu’il y a une pertinence pour le chercheur en littérature à chercher du côté de ce qui n’est pas là\, qui n’est plus là\, mais que l’on pourra peut-être\, les humanités numériques aidant\, essayer de le reconstituer. Nous organisons le 14 octobre à l’université d’Anvers un débat sur la question auquel participeront William Marx\, « nos » chercheurs anversois en humanités numériques\, et un certain nombre d’autres invités. Les langues de travail seront le français et l’anglais. Les activités en rapport avec la Chaire Francqui sont ouvertes à toutes les personnes intéressées. \nWilliam Marx est professeur au Collège de France (Paris)\, où il occupe la chaire de littérature comparée. Parmi ses ouvrages\, traduits en une dizaine de langues\, figurent Naissance de la critique moderne (2002)\, Les Arrière-gardes au XXe siècle (2004)\, L’Adieu à la littérature (2005)\, Vie du lettré (2009)\, Le Tombeau d’Œdipe (2012)\, La Haine de la littérature (2015)\, Un savoir gai (2018)\, Vivre dans la bibliothèque du monde (2020) et Des étoiles nouvelles (2021). Le professeur Marx occupera la Chaire internationale Francqui à l’Université d’Anvers pendant l’automne 2022.

SUMMARY:Lecture series: Peter Stokes
DESCRIPTION:Machine Learning for Digital Scholarly Editions: The Case of eScriptorium\nDigital and computational tools and methods are becoming increasingly part of scholarly activity\, including in Digital Scholarly Editing. One example of this is in transcribing texts from manuscripts\, where machine learning is becoming more and more effective. To this end\, eScriptorium is being developed to leverage Machine Learning to help in transcription\, whether automatic\, semi-automatic or manual. In principle the software should be useful for any type of edition\, in any language and script and from any date. In practice\, however\, this raises many questions\, including to what extent AI can or should be employed in preparing editions\, how much the expert should remain ‘in the loop’\, but also to what extent it is even possible to develop a single tool that can work for everything from Greek papyrus to 20th-century notebooks to Old Vietnamese inscriptions and beyond. This talk will therefore present the current state of the art while also addressing some practical and theoretical questions that remain for the future. \nPeter Stokes\nPeter Stokes is Directeur d’études (approximately ‘research professor’) at the École Pratique des Hautes Études – Université Paris Sciences et Lettres where he works on digital and computational humanities applied to historical writing. He is co-director of eScriptorium\, and other major projects include Principal Investigator for DigiPal\, a European Research Council Starting Grant on new methods in palaeography\, as well as Co-Investigator of Exon Domesday and Models of Authority\, Work Package leader for the Horizon 2020 project RESILIENCE\, and coordinator of a Cluster in Biblissima+ funded by the French PIA. \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the Antwerp Summer University Summer School “Digital Humanities: Genetic editing\, from manuscripts to born-digital writing processes”. 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:Antwerp DH Summer School 2022: Genetic editing\, from manuscripts to born-digital writing processes
DESCRIPTION:Intensive 5-day entry level hands-on course on making digital editions of analogue and born-digital texts. In this course\, participants will acquire a set of basic computer skills to design a fully-fledged\, TEI-compatible Digital Scholarly Edition and deploy keystroke logging technology to record and analyse born-digital texts. \nRegistration information:\n\nEarly bird registration deadline: 15 March 2022.\nRegular registration deadline: 15 April 2022.\n\nFor more information and registration\, please visit the website. \nCourse description\nMONDAY | Introduction and Digital Scholarly Editing\nTEI theory and practice \nOn the first day\, we will learn about the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) as the de facto standard for annotating texts in the humanities. We will learn about how TEI relates to XML and related XML technologies and cover general principles such as well-formedness and validity. After a general introduction to XML and the TEI Guidelines\, we will learn how to annotate writing processes in TEI. All theoretical contents will be accompanied by practical encoding exercises. \nAt the end of the day\, Peter Stokes will present a keynote lecture. \nTUESDAY | Manuscript Web\nTEI Publication Environments\, Manuscript Web\, TEI\, CSS \nOn the second day\, we will learn how to turn text-genetic TEI annotations into web-based editions. After introducing workflows for custom-tailored web visualizations in XSLT\, we will look at pret-a-porter solutions. We will compare existing web publication environments for TEI-encoded text corpora and discuss their usability for text-genetic materials in specific. In a hands-on workshop\, we will use Manuscript Web\, a prototypical publication environment for genetic corpora developed in Antwerp\, to turn TEI documents into web-based scholarly editions. In the day’s final session we will form working groups and identify materials (small data sets) for small editions\, which the students will produce on day three. \nWEDNESDAY | Make Your Own Edition\nManuscript Web \nOn the third day\, we will apply the contents of the first two days to our own materials. The students will work individually or in teams on the dataset they chose on day two. The goal is to encode the materials in TEI and to publish them in a small-scale\, web-based edition. In the afternoon we will visit the Plantin-Moretus Museum.​ \nTHURSDAY | Logging and Encoding Born-Digital Writing Processes\nKeystroke Logging\, TEI-XML \nOn the fourth day\, we will start with a creative exercise: writing a short story and logging the writing process with a keystroke logger. We will then use these keystroke logging files to learn the basic technologies involved in making a (genetic) digital edition. As a first step\, we will encode all the textual operations (e.g.\, new text production\, additions\, deletions) in TEI-XML together with the timestamps of each operation. These XML files will be used the next day as we move on to the visualisation of the reconstructions of the digital writing processes. \nFRIDAY | Visualising Born-Digital Writing Processes\nXPath\, XSLT\, HTML\, CSS \nOn the last day\, we will start from the XML documents we developed in class\, and learn how we can prepare them for the web\, by transforming them into HTML through XSLT. We will do this using XPath expressions. This effort will result in a static visualisation of the writing process. We will learn the basics of CSS by modifying the visualisation. Having gained experience with XPath\, XSLT and HTML\, the XML files will later be uploaded in an environment provided by the instructors that allows for replaying the writing process as well. We will end the day with student presentations and a final discussion.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Lecture Series: Siebe Bluijs & Lois Burke
DESCRIPTION:We regret to report that the platform{DH} talk by Siebe Bluijs and Lois Burke ‘Towards a Collection of Digital Literature from Flanders and the Netherlands (1971–2022)’ that was scheduled for 24 May 2022 at 4pm will need to be rescheduled yet another time due to illness. We will try to reorganise the event at a later date this year\, and will inform you about its new date as soon as possible. \nWe apologise for the inconvenience. \nTowards a Collection of Digital Literature from Flanders and the Netherlands (1971–2022)\nDigital literature is an umbrella term that encompasses differing types of multimodal works of literature that are all reliant on the digital environment for their production\, dissemination and/or consumption (Rettberg 2018). Digital literature can refer to hypertext fictions\, algorithm-generated poetry\, works created in virtual reality\, online fan fiction\, and various other permutations. Digital literature emerged as a concept and a field of study in the 1980s and 1990s. The rapidly changing nature and function of digital media since then have urged new definitions and approaches to this art form. \nIn this project we are exploring the history of digital literature in Dutch from 1971 – when Gerrit Krol’s Automatic Poetry by Pointed Information was published – to the present day. So far\, we have collected more than 100 works of Dutch digital literature\, using the ELMCIP (Electronic Literature Knowledge Base) database. Our next challenge is to curate a representative selection of these works and explore how they might be successfully integrated into library collections and exhibitions\, at both national (Koninklijke Bibliotheek) and local (Bibliotheek Midden-Brabant) levels. \nSiebe Bluijs & Lois Burke\nSiebe Bluijs is a literary scholar focusing on modern Dutch literature and media. He completed his PhD at Ghent University (Belgium) and is currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Tilburg University’s Department of Communication and Cognition. \nLois Burke’s research focuses on nineteenth-century children’s history and digital approaches to working with library and museum collections. She is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in Tilburg University’s Department of Communication and Cognition. \nPlease register by sending a mail to platformdh@uantwerpen.be. \nThe lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Julian Schröter
DESCRIPTION:The challenges of investigating loosely structured genres and of operationalizing semantic content\nLiterary studies are often dealing with genres that are well established in literary discourse but can\, on closer inspection\, not be identified on the level of textual features. In other words\, there are loosely structured genres that are not instantiated as clear-cut text types. The German novella\, which is split up into two genres\, that of the ‚Erzählung‘ and that of the ‚Novelle‘\, is such a disordered genre. Research in literary genres\, however\, usually presumes the existence of a common text type on the level of textual features that can be revealed\, for example\, with stylometric analysis or based on classification tasks. \nIt is the aim of a larger project to reveal the latent structures of German novellas. The presentation gives a systematic outline of the challenge of analyzing the historical change of the novella as a loosely structured genre. Two central and methodologically different steps will be presented and discussed. Firstly\, a socio-historical model is introduced that allows explaining common assumptions on the existence of genres not on the level of textual features but the level of communication about literature in historical cultures. This model does not limit itself to assigning a genre to textual features as a binary link\, as it is common to computational genre stylistics\, but rather starts from a triadic and recursive structure that links genre as a historically contingent assignment practice with textual features and with factors of socio-historical context. Secondly\, there is the problem of operationalizing appropriate textual features. It is common practice to use word type frequencies (or more abstract features such as part of speech tags or n-grams). Traditional genre theory could object that this bag-of-words model is not able to represent complex genre features that were codified in traditional novella poetics\, such as turning point (peripeteia)\, closure\, or leitmotiv structure. Hence\, promising strategies based on advanced combinations of topic modeling and word embedding for operationalizing features that represent semantic content are discussed with a focus on empirical validation. \nJulian Schröter\nJulian Schröter is a Walter Benjamin-Fellow from March 2022 through February 2023 in Antwerp\, Montreal\, and Illinois\, where he is working on a history of the German novella based on quantitative and qualitative methods. He was the deputy of the professorship for Digital Humanities at the University of Trier in the summer semester of 2020\, where he was also the coordinator for the project »Zeta and Company« from June to September 2020. He is currently a research fellow at the chair for digital humanities and German literature at the University of Würzburg and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Literary Theory. His doctoral thesis on literary self-fashioning was published in 2018. Julian studied Philosophy and German Literature inWürzburg. His focus in research lies on interpretation theories\, the methodological and epistemological foundation of Computational Literary Studies\, and on German 19th century as well as on contemporary prose fiction. \nThe lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Aafje de Roest
DESCRIPTION:Image credits: Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam & SMIB \nHiphop lezen: kwantitatieve en kwalitatieve methoden voor letterkundig onderzoek naar hiphop\nTerwijl de wereld om ons heen steeds meer lijkt te verengelsen\, grijpen zowel Nederlandse als Belgische jongeren massaal naar een jeugdcultuur in hun eigen taal: hiphop. Van Frenna tot Zwangere Guy en van Ronnie Flex tot Shay\, Blu Samu of Coely – hiphop is de dominante jongerencultuur van dit moment\, zowel wereldwijd als in Nederland. Die ongekende populariteit van hiphop\, een door identiteitsvraagstukken gekenmerkt muziekgenre en idem jeugdcultuur\, roept de vraag op hoe Nederlandse jongeren (artiesten en actief publiek) in hiphop hun culturele identiteit (her)definiëren. Op die vraag promoveert neerlandica en letterkundige Aafje de Roest (1993) aan de Universiteit Leiden (sectie Moderne Nederlandse letterkunde). Haar door NWO-gefinancierde onderzoek combineert kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve methoden om tot een antwoord op deze vraag te komen. Maar hoe onderzoek te doen naar een snel veranderende jeugdcultuur die misschien wel per definitie ‘ongrijpbaar’ moet blijven? In dit college verkent De Roest het antwoord op die vraag\, en neemt zij je aan de hand van recente case studies uit de Nederlandse en Vlaamse scene mee in het spel van hiphopjongeren\, die tegen een lokale achtergrond\, maar in een werelds perspectief\, hun culturele identiteit vormgeven. \nAafje de Roest\nAafje de Roest (1993) promoveert aan de Universiteit Leiden (sectie Moderne Nederlandse letterkunde) op een door NWO-gefinancierd onderzoek naar de culturele identiteitsconstructies van Nederlandse jongeren in hedendaagse Nederlandse hiphop. Vanaf 2020 is De Roest een van de Faces of Science\, een samenwerking van NEMO en de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen. Ze is lid van de Raad van Toezicht van het Nederlands Letterenfonds. \nThe lecture will take place in Dutch. \nNOTE: Due to the current COVID-19 measures\, we need to ask you to present a valid Covid Safe Ticket (CST) before entering the room. Wearing a mask is mandatory and please practice social distances of 1\,5 metres. \nBecause of this\, registration is also mandatory\, please register by sending a mail to platformdh@uantwerpen.be. \nThe lecture is free and open to all. \n

SUMMARY:Linked Pasts Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The annual Linked Pasts conference\, which has previously been held at KCL\, Madrid\, Stanford\, Mainz\, Bordeaux and virtually at London brings together scholars\, heritage professionals and other practitioners with an interest in Linked Open Data as applied to the study of the ancient and historical worlds. Panels and working groups at Linked Pasts are more goal-oriented than a conventional academic conference\, and activities and agendas are often proposed\, developed and revised by all participants at the event itself. The Linked Pasts Symposium is a formal partner of the Pelagios Network. \nThe seventh installment of Linked Pasts in December 2021 will be hosted by the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities and CLARIAH Flanders Open Humanities Service Infrastructure consortium (an interdisciplinary team from Universities of Ghent\, Antwerp\, Leuven and Brussels). \nLinked Pasts 7 will be a hybrid event\, with activities taking place remotely over a week  (December 13-17)  and two days of in-person sessions in Ghent (December 20 and 21). \nFor more information\, please visit the conference’s CFP page.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Margherita Parigini
DESCRIPTION:Margherita Parigini obtained her Bachelor’s degree in 2013 in Modern Literature at the University of Turin (Italy). After a year of Erasmus at Université Paris Diderot 007 (France)\, she moved to Geneva (Switzerland) where she obtained a Master’s degree in Littérature italienne moderne et contemporaine avec Spécialisation en Méthodes de la critique. In 2017\, she started her PhD dedicated to the work of the author Italo Calvino\, under the direction of Professor Francesca Serra. She is also Research and Teaching Assistant at the Italian section of the University of Geneva and collaborated on the project Atlante Calvino: literature and visualization\, supported by the SNF. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Rule and the Doubt. Studying the use of doubt in the Italo Calvino’s narrative works\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe thesis « The Rule and the Doubt » is dedicated to the Italian author Italo Calvino\, more precisely to the study of a narrative mechanism that plays a central role in his work: doubt used as the propulsion engine for writing. The aim of the thesis is to analyze this phenomenon in all its forms and to identify its various consequences in the narrative articulation of the text. The research is also supposed to develop a reflection on Calvino’s critical texts\, exploring the hypothesis that the dubitative text is born at the crossroads of fiction and essay. In order to realize the research\, an attempt was made to use different methods of analysis in a complementary manner: a more traditional approach derived to literary criticism\, combined with a perspective linked to the DH dimension (e.g. Data Visualization).  \nThe lecture is free and open to all. To register\, please contact platformdh@uantwerpen.be.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Ari Bergman
DESCRIPTION:Ari Bergmann is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Jewish Studies at Yeshiva University. His areas of specialization are the history of the formation of the Talmud and literary analysis of Talmudic literature. His interests include the dynamics of the oral transmission of rabbinical tradition during its early stages and its eventual transition to a written literary setting. Ari Bergmann holds an MA and Ph.D. in Comparative Religion from Columbia University\, where he studied with Professors Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi and David Weiss Halivni. Before coming to Yeshiva University\, he taught at Columbia University and at the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently working on a book\, The Talmud between Scholarship and Politics: Y. I. Halevy and the Formation of the Orthodox Talmud\, to be published in 2020. He is the founder and Managing Principal of Penso Advisors\, LLC\, a derivatives/systemic risk advisory and money management boutique. \nThe Collective Editing of the Talmud\nThe Babylonian Talmud\, known simply as the Bavli\, is the collaborative effort of generations of sages. It is also the foundational legal and ethical document of rabbinic Judaism. Rather than being authored by any individual authors\, it instead represents the collective work of the Jewish scholarly community in Babylonia over five centuries. From its inception\, in the beginning of the third century\, until the end of the eighth century it was transmitted orally\, and it continuously evolved and developed collectively throughout the period. This presentation will analyze the unique process of its formation and early transmission and how it came to represent the first oral wiki editing process. \nThis lecture is organised by the UAntwerp’s Institute for Jewish Studies.
