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.

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: Julie Blake
DESCRIPTION:Dr Julie Blake currently combines roles as a Digital Humanities Methods Fellow at Cambridge University and as co-director of Poetry By Heart\, the national poetry recitation competition for schools in England. She is interested in how and why literature (in particular\, poetry) gets configured as it does in the school and how this impacts on popular taste and public understanding. Her doctoral thesis What did the national curriculum do for poetry? Pattern\, prescription and contestation in the poetry selected for GCSE English literature 1988-2018 paid empirical attention to the recent history of English literature as a curriculum entity\, using a singular combination of digital\, quantitative\, bibliographical and literary methods. She is currently thinking about “scaleable reading”. \nBuilding a “difference engine” for digital literary history\nPopular taste and public understanding of literature are shaped by many different life experiences and influences\, including what happens in schooling. My work is part of a body of research that seeks to understand the history of English literary education through its material artefacts and traces of classroom practice (eg Michael 1987\, Rubin 2007 and Robson 2015). This history connects in interesting interdisciplinary ways with the history of literature\, the reception history of different authors\, the history of mass education\, Britain’s colonial past and its postcolonial present. \nOne empirical basis for doing this kind of literary history is the books published for use in schools. In my doctoral study\, I examined 99 school poetry anthologies prescribed for 14-16 year olds in England who took school-leaving English literature examinations between 1988 and 2018. I used conventional methods of bibliographical recovery\, close reading and multimodal analysis for some aspects of this work\, but I also wanted to see and to make visible for others the microscopic processes of change that worked to shape this pedagogical canon. For this I built database documenting the significant details of every poem\, poet and anthology in my corpus\, and developed a quantitative analytical method for tracking the salience of individual poems and poets over time. This approach is influenced as much by ideas about “distant reading” derived from Franco Moretti’s work in digital literary history (Moretti 2013) as it is by cultural anthropologist Asif Agha’s concept of speech chains of evaluation (Agha 2006). \nIn this talk\, I will share some of the practicalities and possibilities of building this kind of digital “difference engine” and will be interested to discuss how this kind of approach might be developed and applied in other areas of literary history.

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: Fotis Jannidis
DESCRIPTION:Fotis Jannidis is Professor for computational literary studies at the University of Würzburg in Germany. In the 1990s\, he was mainly interested in digital editions and became coeditor of the digital edition The Young Goethe in His Time (1999) and of the critical edition of Goethe’s Faust (beta 2016ff.). He was involved in the development of TextGrid\, a framework for digital editions\, and is involved in DARIAH\, a large European infrastructure project for the digital humanities. His recent work focuses on a corpus-based history of the German novel\, creating several corpora and creating\, evaluating and applying computational methods for the analysis of collections of literary texts. He also manages a B.A.-/M.A.-program for Digital Humanities. His research interests focus on data modeling and computational literary history. He is co-editor\, with Hubertus Kohle and Malte Rehbein\, of Digital Humanities. Eine Einführung (2017). \nLiterature as a Commodity – Distant Reading Pulp Fiction\nThere is a field of popular fiction which doesn’t attract the attention of literary scholars very often: dime novels\, sometimes also called pulp fiction because of the bad quality of the paper. Millions of them are printed every year but they don’t appear in any bestseller list\, because they don’t belong to the usual system of literary communication. Research on dime novels perceived them quite long as part of the cheap escapist entertainment industry\, targeting especially the lower classes\, while in recent years the complexity of some of the series and of the communication of fans about their dime novels has been highlighted in contrast. The talk will look at 14.000 dime novels published in recent years and explore genres\, topics and the complexity of the texts in an attempt to reevaluate some of these research positions. \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with a COST Action event hosted by the UAntwerp. Registration for the event itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s lecture is free and open to all. Please register by sending an email to platformdh@uantwerpen.be.

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:Lecture Series: Dries Moreels
DESCRIPTION:Dries Moreels is engaged with Ghent University Library since 2013\, coordinating the library’s innovation and development efforts. Before\, he was information manager at BAM Institute for the Visual Arts and responsible for collection development at the Flemish Theater Institute\, both organisations now merged to Flemish Arts Institute. He was in charge of work packages in the academic research projects Archipel and BOM-Vlaanderen funded by IWT\, where collaboration and exchange models for digital archives where studied closely\, building demonstrators. He collaborated on very diverse books and journals on the crossroads of information science\, cultural studies and arts policy and management. \nExploring IIIF for Digital Humanities\nIn this lecture\, the basics of IIIF – International Image Interoperability Framework – are presented through the lens of its key benefits for research in Digital Humanities. As an open data API\, IIIF allows for clear and well documented research data management practices\, for projects ranging from teaching over scholarly annotation or editing up to data mining. \n\n\n\n\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.
