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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop: Automatic Text Reuse Detection with TRACER
DESCRIPTION:Greta Franzini is a Classicist and researcher based at the University of Göttingen. Greta’s research interests and current projects concern the production of digital editions of texts as well as the evaluation and refinement of automatic text reuse detection processing for Latin literature.  More information about Greta’s work can be found at http://www.gretafranzini.com. \n\nAutomatic text reuse detection with TRACER\nIn this workshop\, participants will learn how to run TRACER\, a state-of-the-art text reuse detection machine capable of identifying different styles of text reuse between two or more texts. TRACER is language-independent and can be run on both modern and historical works. In this workshop\, participants will run text reuse detection analyses on the seven English language Harry Potter novels by J. K. Rowling\, a selection of Harry Potter fanfiction as well as the Harry Potter movie subtitles. The objective of the workshop is not only to practise text analysis with TRACER but also to introduce participants to current strategies and issues in this area of research. \nThis workshop is organised as a part of the MA course Digitale Tekstanalyse en Literaire Theorie\, taught at the University of Antwerp\, but will be opened to all. Attendance is free\, but registration is required and places are limited! To register\, please send an email to platformdh@uantwerpen.be. \n\nparticipants: 25

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Tom Deneire
DESCRIPTION:detail from Petrus Appianus – Gemma Frisius (ed.)\, Cosmographia sive descriptio universi orbis (Antwerp: Johannes Bellerus\, 1584)\, fol. F3v – University of Antwerp Library\, Special Collections\, MAG-P 13.821 \nClick here to (re)read the slides to this platform{DH} talk. \nTom Deneire studied Classics and obtained a PhD in Neo-Latin Literature from KULeuven with a dissertation on Justus Lipsius’s correspondence (1598) and prose style. As a postdoctoral researcher for NWO he studied the dynamic interplay of Latin and vernacular poetry in the Dutch Golden Age. In 2013 he was appointed Curator of the Special Collections of the University of Antwerp Library\, an officially acknowledged heritage library that goes back to a Jesuit school collection and also holds a Print Room. As a curator he mainly focuses on registration and digitization projects. His current research interests include Early Modern book history\, Neo-Latin literature and digital humanities. He is also co-editor of the journals De Gulden Passer and Humanistica Lovaniensia. \nDigital Special Collections: a Rare Book Librarian’s Perspective on Digital Research\nSpecial collections libraries have by no means missed the digital turn. On the contrary\, curating materials that are mostly copyright free and dealing with reproduction reqeusts on an almost daily basis\, special collections libraries are excellent partners for digitization projects and digital research. Conversely\, this implies that digital scholarship on rare books\, manuscripts\, maps and prints has a lot to gain from the librarian’s perspective. Understanding how physical objects are digitized\, how different items are catalogued\, and how to extract data and metadata from library systems offers clear heuristic and methodological gains for digital research. This presentation will discuss such a librarian’s perspective starting from the Special Collections of the University of Antwerp Library. It will explain the library’s digitization process and digital platform\, analyze its metadata structure and export formats\, and finally offer some research suggestions for data mining and other digital scholarship. \n\nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Peter Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Selection from the Sloane Manuscript 1686\, folio 62v © The British Library \nPeter Robinson is Bateman Professor of English at the University of Saskatchewan. He has developed several computer-based tools for the preparation and publication of scholarly editions\, and is active in the development of standards for digital resources. He has published and lectured on matters relating to computing and textual editing\, on text encoding\, digitization\, and electronic publishing\, and on Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. As well as his own editions of Old Norse and Middle English texts\, he has collaborated with other scholars on the publication of editions of collections of historical documents\, Armenian texts\, the Greek New Testament and Dante’s Monarchia and Commedia. His current major interest is in the creation of online “textual communities.” \nHow to Make Digital Editions of Chaucer and Everyone Else\nThe explosion of interest in the use of digital tools for making scholarly editions\, combined with enthusiasm for crowd-sourcing\, has led to a proliferation of online tools for the making of scholarly editions. Transcribe Bentham and similar enterprises promise a scholarly heaven. We can imagine a massive cohort of enthusiastic and skilled amateurs transcribing manuscripts which we\, the scholarly leaders\, can use to make editions after our own dreams. This talk will question this vision: is this practical? do we have\, can we have\, tools to realize this dream of scholarly editions made by all? Is this even desirable? And what might we have to change in our own practice to make this vision real? \n\nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the second annual networking event for English Literary Scholars in Flanders. Attending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. Please register by sending an email to platformdh@uantwerpen.be. \n\nparticipants: 40

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Erik Kwakkel
DESCRIPTION:Leiden\, University Library\, 583\, printed work (16th century) with medieval fragments inside (12th century) – Photo Erik Kwakkel \nDr. Erik Kwakkel  is a lecturer and researcher in medieval paleography and codicology at Leiden University.  \nSomething Old\, Something New: Medieval Manuscripts and Digital Research Methods.\nIn this talk\, Erik Kwakkel shows how the study of medieval manuscripts can benefit from a digital approach. He presents two case studies: 1) How medieval script is studied in a quantified manner\, using modest statistical research; 2) How MA-XRF\, an x-ray technique\, enables us to look inside early-modern bookbindings\, revealing (and reading) medieval fragments that are hiding inside. These two examples will be taken as representatives of two common types of Digital Humanities research: one using digital techniques to do traditional research more efficiently\, the other producing results that could not be gained in traditional research.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Greta Franzini
DESCRIPTION:Greta Franzini is a full-time Researcher at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Göttingen\, and also a completing PhD student at University College London. She is a Classicist by training and conducts interdisciplinary research in the fields of (Digital) Classics and Natural Language Processing. (See also: http://gretafranzini.com/). \nText Reuse\, Digital Breadcrumbs and Historical Data\nIn her talk\, Greta Franzini will discuss the case studies and activities of eTRAP. This project investigates the phenomenon of text reuse in order to advance automatic detection on historical data. Historical texts pose numerous challenges to automatically detect reuse. These challenges are\, among others\, the fragmentary survival of works\, inconsistent referencing\, but also the diachronic evolution of language. Unlike modern texts\, where sources are consistently quoted and cited\, historical texts are not always so transparent\, thus opening up exciting opportunities for intertextual research.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Elien Vernackt
DESCRIPTION:Elien Vernackt graduated in 2011 as Master of Arts in History at Ghent University. Her master thesis was about Bruges on the map of Marcus Gerards\, under the guidance of promoter Prof. Dr. Jan Dumolyn. Since then she has been working on the MAGIS Bruges-project for almost five years. The first year she worked for KU Leuven\, after that for Musea Bruges (more specifically Bruges museum and vzw Kenniscentrum). Elien is responsible for the further technical and content- wise development of MAGIS Bruges\, the volunteers that help with database entry and she also contributes to the redesigning of the Gruuthusemuseum. \nThe MAGIS Bruges Project\nThe sixteenth-century map of Bruges by Marcus Gerards has appealed to our imagination for centuries\, and researchers use it regularly to illustrate their publications on a variety of subjects. The MAGIS Bruges-project has made the map fully accessible in a digital environment. What is more\, the map is embedded in an extensive database that offers a significant amount of information on (late-)medieval Bruges. The MAGIS Bruges project fits perfectly within the idea of Digital Humanities for a number of reasons. First\, setting up such a project requires a number of collaborations and a healthy dose of patience. The conversion of this scientific database to an instrument for a larger public requires quite a different approach. On the one hand\, academics are increasingly searching for new digital ways to publish their research results to a broad audience. On the other hand\, public-oriented institutions such as museums feel the need to profile themselves on an academic level. MAGIS Bruges aims to respond to this double trend by reconciling the requirements of both the academic and the public-oriented institutions. In this lecture\, Elien Vernackt discusses the entire MAGIS Bruges project prior to the development of the database and the map application. She talks about the different ways in which this project is accomplished technically as well as content-wise\, and which collaborations were established in the process.

SUMMARY:DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016
DESCRIPTION:Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory\, Practice\, Methods\n  \nThis thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS)\, is organized in conjunction with the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network (DiXiT) and hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium. \n5-7 October 2016 \nKeynote speakers: \nKathryn Sutherland and Paul Eggert \nGuests of honour: \nHans Walter Gabler and Peter Shillingsburg \nAs digital publications are reaching a stage of maturity and scholarly editors are becoming increasingly aware of the seemingly endless possibilities of hybrid or fully Digital Scholarly Editions\, the impact of the digital medium on the field of Textual Criticism has become undeniable. As a result of this ‘digital turn’\, textual scholars are now faced with new challenges and opportunities that have called for a re-evaluation of the field’s established theoretical and practical framework. For the thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS)\, organized in association with the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network ‘DiXiT’\, we intend to face this new direction in textual scholarship head-on\, by focussing on the recent developments in textual scholarship that are instigated by this reassessment of the theories\, practices\, and methods of scholarly editing in general\, and of the Digital Scholarly Edition (DSE) in particular.

SUMMARY:Digital Scholarly Editing and Textual Criticism
DESCRIPTION:Pre-conference workshop of the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference\, organised by DiXiT\, hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp. \nAbstract\nThe production of digital critical editions is a crucial issue for anyone working on texts written in pre-modern times\, philologists\, historians\, philosophers etc. Yet\, there are many different practices\, and concepts behind the digital representation of a critical apparatus are difficult to grasp. Besides\, there are still very little tools supporting the creation and processing of digital critical editions. \nThe workshop includes talks and presentations by philologists and DH specialists introducing and discussing the very nature of critical editions as well as the digital representation of a critical apparatus. Furthermore\, the state-of-the-art in terms of automatic collation tools and methods for processing and publishing digital critical editions will be assessed. \nSCHEDULE/PROGRAMME\n11.00 Welcome coffee\, Opening \n11.15-11.45 Caroline Macé – Jost Gippert: What type of (digital) scholarly edition for what type of textual tradition?\n11.45-12.15 Armin Hoenen: Digital Stemmatological tools\n12.15-12:35 Catherine Smith: Introducing the collation editor\n12.35-13.15 Klaus Wachtel\, Marcello Perathoner: Towards a global stemma of the Greek New Testament textual tradition: Methodological approach\, technological issues and solutions \n13.15 Lunch \n14.15-14.45 Gioele Barabucci\, Franz Fischer: CollateX and the formalization of textual Criticism – Bridging the gap between automated collation and edited critical texts\n14.45-15.15 Marjorie Burghart\, The TEI Critical Apparatus Toolbox: User-Empowerment with the TEI\n15.15-15.45 Roberto Rosselli del Turco\, tba \n15:45-16:00 Coffee break \n16.00-16.30 Discussion

SUMMARY:Complexities of Project Logistics
DESCRIPTION:Pre-conference workshop of the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference\, organised by DiXiT\, hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp. \nABSTRACT\nTypically\, editorial projects – digital or non-digital – get funding for a limited time span\, and that time span is usually not sufficient to edit and publish the source or body of sources that the project set out to publish. Often\, more funding will be sought\, but\, as technology and time have moved on\, and as one can’t reasonably just repeat the first grant application\, the focus of a follow-up project will be slightly different. In a third step\, one may ask for a neighbouring source collection to be included in the project\, or a new tool added to the collection\, dependent on what funders at that moment in time seem willing to support. \nProjects may end up with multiple collections and datasets\, digitized according to multiple standards using multiple (sometimes obsolete) technologies. Some may have started out on paper\, and have ridden the waves of databases\, HTML\, CD-ROM\, XML\, mass digitisation approaches and Linked open data. Even projects that have consistently worked within a TEI framework may have had to ingest documents that use different TEI dialects. These technological complexities may be increased by constraints in overall planning and everyday workflow\, including time and budget management\, especially if there are cross-institutional collaborations\, interdependencies on deliverables\, strict deadlines\, staff mobility etc. The workshop will discuss these and other complexities of project logistics. \nSPEAKERS\n\nPeter Boot (Huygens ING): workshop organiser\nThomas Stäcker (Herzog August Bibliothek): Fighting the Digital Quicksand – The Role of Research Libraries in Building up Reliable and Sustainable Infrastructures for Digital Editions.\nRik Hoekstra (Huygens ING): Changing editing policies of the States General of the United Dutch Provinces (1576-1796).\nJan Burgers (Huygens ING): Editing medieval charters in the digital age.\nMartine de Bruin (Meertens Institute): tba.\nAnna-Maria Sichani (Huygens ING) and James Smithies (Kings Digital Lab): Designing a Sustainable Future: An approach to the Assessment\, Archiving and Preservation of Digital Projects.

SUMMARY:The Born Digital Record of the Writing Process: Discussing Concepts of Representation for the Digital Scholarly Edition
DESCRIPTION:Pre-conference workshop of the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference\, taught by Thorsten Ries (UGent)\, hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp. \nABSTRACT\nIn its first part\, the workshop gives a hands-on introduction to digital forensic analysis of hard drives for born digital traces of the writing process with different constructed case scenarios. The hands-on experience serves as a foundation for a moderated group discussion about how the specific materiality of the digital historical record can be read in philological terms of the critique génétique\, how this changes our ideas about text production and consequently the requirements and understanding of representation of the genetic digital born record in a documentary / genetic DSE. \nThe hands-on workshop will introduce participating archivists\, philologists and researchers from the humanities into forensic imaging of hard drives\, inspection and analysis of forensic images. Two phases of analysis of the process will be covered during the workshop: a) forensic imaging\, triage and preservation of hard drives in the archive and b) philological recovery of textual versions of a writing process from a digital forensic image (mounting\, inspection of temporary files\, undelete\, file carving\, drive slack analysis\, timeline analysis\, grep) and by low-level inspection of files (fast save artifacts\, RSID-tags). Depending on participants’ interest other scenarios\, e.g. cloud services\, can also be addressed. To avoid legal issues\, participants will work with forensic images created for this workshop’s training purposes with Christian Moch’s Forensig forensic image generator (Moch 2009\, Moch Freiling 2009). \nLEVEL\nThe workshop aims at an audience with average user skills\, e.g. archivists with no or little prior knowledge of forensic computing. \nPRACTICAL\nThe participants are required to bring their own laptop\, with forensic software installed before the start of the workshop. More information on how to install which software will be provided to registered participants.
