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.

SUMMARY:Antwerp Summer Academy in DH 2016
DESCRIPTION:Demystifying Digitisation: A Hands-On Master Class in Text Digitisation \nThis two-day workshop will take place from 29 to 30 September 2016 at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium\, preceding the DiXiT + ESTS 2016  conference hosted at the same location. It offers the perfect opportunity for the conference’s participants and other interested scholars to become better acquainted with some of the main concerns that need to be addressed at the outset of both mass- and ad hoc digitisation projects.  \nThe core of the our programme exists of two half-day workshops on software packages that may help the researcher automate some aspects of the transcription process. The first will deal with ABBYY\, still one of the best software packages around for OCRing digitised print materials. Focusing on the software’s possible advantages and pitfalls\, this workshop will show the participants how to prepare their documents in order to achieve the best OCR results. The second workshop will introduce Transkribus\, a software package that has recently made great advancements in optically recognising characters in handwritten materials.  \nThe programme will be completed by 4 (interactive) sessions on related topics that will be organised around these workshops. Colleagues from the Ghent University Library will share their experience of taking part in the Google Books mass digitisation project to digitise their out-of-copyright books; Wout Dillen and Vincent Neyt and (UAntwerpen) will introduce the Manuscript Desk\, a Virtual Research Environment for transcribing textual documents into TEI compliant XML\, funded in the context of DARIAH-BE; Trudi Noordermeer (Antwerp University Library) will focus on issues related to developing a useful digitisation workflow; and Walter Scholger (Centre for Information Modelling – Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities\, University of Graz) will tell us what we are allowed to do with our digitised documents by focusing on Copyright issues and Internet Property Rights. \nThe entire program will be free of charge\, but registration is required. The workshops are limited to 20 participants each\, while the lectures will be opened up to the larger public. Participants are asked to bring their own corpus to the workshops\, consisting of scans of both printed and handwritten materials. The workshops do not demand any prerequisite skills\, but a basic knowledge of XML is considered a strong advantage. Places will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis\, but we will keep a number of places reserved for members of DHu.F. and DARIAH-BE. All sessions will be held in English. Since places are limited\, early registration is highly recommended.  \nCall for Applications\nTo participate in the workshop\, please fill in the application form by Wednesday 21 September.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Sabine Lenk and Nele Wynants
DESCRIPTION:Sabine Lenk\nSabine Lenk is a postdoctoral researcher at University of Antwerp (Research Centre For Visual Poetics) in the international project “A Million Pictures: Magic Lantern Slides Heritage in the Common European History of Learning” on popular visual culture and performativity in the 19th century. She worked for film and television archives in Belgium\, France\, Luxembourg\, UK\, and the Netherlands. From 1999-2007\, she was the director of the Filmmuseum Düsseldorf (Germany). Together with Frank Kessler and Martin Loiperdinger she is a co-founder and co-editor of KINtop. Jahrbuch zur Erforschung des frühen Films\, KINtop Schriften and KINtop – Studies in Early Cinema. She has widely published on film archiving\, cinema museology and early cinema. \nDigitizing magic lantern slides: problems\, challenges\, possibilities\nIn the EU financed research project “A Million Pictures” one of the objectives is to make available magic lantern slides through the database Lucerna. We scan slides held in collection of museums and archives such as the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MuHKA) in Antwerp which keeps the collection of Robert Vrielynck\, a solicitor from Brugge and founder of the Belgisch Animatiefilm Centrum. \nThe scanning of slides and slide sets is challenging because a three dimensional object has to be transformed into two or more two-dimensional images to document it. In the presentation I will address the problems that the digitization of physical objects such as lantern slides\, but also films pose. A digital file can’t replace the physical object but it opens ways of access that were inconceivable only fifteen years ago. Historians working with this material however will have to take into account the specific characteristics of digital documents and therefore need to understand how they have been produced. I will discuss possible procedures of source critic when working with such documents. \nNele Wynants\nNele Wynants is a postdoctoral researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles (THEA Joint Research Group) and the University of Antwerp (Research Centre for Visual Poetics). She graduated in Art History\, Performance and Media Arts (UGent) and obtained a PhD in Theatre studies and Intermediality (UAntwerp). Her current project “The Optics of Performance” aims to historicize concepts and practices of intermedial theatre by focusing on the interplay of performance\, science and technology in theatre and media history. In 2015 she was a visiting scholar at Université Paris 3 (LIRA\, Laboratoire International de Recherches en Arts) where she conducted archival research on scientific theatre in the 19th century. She is involved in “A Million Pictures”\, a European project on the magic lantern as European cultural heritage\, and she is a member of “Spectacular Astronomy”\, a research network of theatre scholars and historians of science from Paris\, Utrecht and Strasbourg. She is editor in chief of Forum+ For Research and Arts\, and published several articles on contemporary artists working at the intersection of theater\, film and media arts. \nThe Legacy of the Lantern. Artistic Reuse of an Old Apparatus\nThe magic lantern was the most important technology of visual entertainment and means of education across nineteenth-century Europe. Initially mainly used for scientific\, educational and popular purposes\, this early projection device quickly found its way into the theatre. This talk will discuss how the artistic reuse of old lanterns can today function as a creative tool to revive its important cultural heritage. More particularly in the context of the project A Million Pictures\, we consider the digitization of a collection of magic lantern slides as a starting point for creative re-use of lantern slides for both artistic and educational purposes. \nOn the occasion of an upcoming workshop on this topic\, organized by the Research Centre for Visual Poetics (27-39 October 2016)\, film artist Sarah Vanagt was invited to develop a project inspired by the magic lantern slides and projectors in the Vrielynck collection. Vanagt will set up an exhibition at the Antwerp Museum for Contemporary Art (M HKA)\, displaying original lanterns and slides next to her own contemporary lantern film\, developed for the occasion. Instead of an explicit remake of this old apparatus or a historically informed re-enactment of a Galantee show\, Van Agt opts for a more subtle\, theatrical reuse of the magic lantern in which she reflects on media history\, concepts of vision and the role of media in our contemporary moment. I will discuss how she thus proposes a media archaeological perspective on magic lantern shows. This archaeology is understood less as the discovery of a forgotten past than as the establishment of an active relationship between past and present.

SUMMARY:Managing Historical Data in MS Access
DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by the Vrije Universiteit\, Brussel\, and sponsored by the DHu.F (among others).  \nThe workshop is a training course full of tips and tricks for collecting and analysing historical data in a Microsoft Access database. This unique workshop will tackle specific database problems concerning historical data: different spellings of proper names\, missing data\, managing chronology\, variations in currency systems etc. \nThe workshop is divided into two parts: a beginners course (taking place on Monday and Tuesday 25-26 April) will introduce the key elements to design a basic but ‘bulletproof’ database as a research tool. A subsequent  b (taking place on Wednesday and Thursday 27-28 April) will concentrate on the possibilities of Access for analysis of historical data and will address specific research issues. The latter also includes ‘clinics’ for specific problems\, difficulties or issues with Access which individual participants encountered in their own research. Each course is capped off by a guest lecture open to all. \nThe lecturer for both courses is dr. Mark Merry\, affiliated with the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London. He has about ten years of experience with developing relation databases for projects with historical data and is also the lecturer of the famous courses “Databases for Historians I and II” in London. \nWho can apply and what are the costs?\nThe workshop is open to PhD-students\, postdoctoral researchers and senior researchers working with historical data. Please note that places are limited to 25 participants in the beginners course and 25 participants in the advanced course. In each course there are 5 slots reserved per participating university (KU Leuven\, UAntwerpen\, UGent and VUB). \nA small fee of € 20 per participant per course covers the cost of copies\, coffee breaks and a sandwich lunch at noon each day. Tuition itself is free\, thanks to generous funding from Digital Humanities Flanders\, the Flemish Government’s OJO (“Omkadering Jonge Onderzoekers”)\, and additional support by various institutions. \nHow to apply? \nPlease fill in the registration form at http://goo.gl/forms/RKVUW5FMTx  \nRegistrations will be possible starting of the 23rd March at 9:00 AM. Your attendance will be determined on a first come\, first served basis. Although you can apply for both courses\, priority for the advanced session will be given to candidates only applying for the advanced course. Once all spots are filled\, registration will be closed and confirmations will be sent. Please note that sufficient proficiency with Access is obliged when applying for the advanced course! \nThe deadline for application is Sunday 10th April 2016.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Folgert Karsdorp
DESCRIPTION:Folgert Karsdorp is a PhD candidate at the Meertens Institute in Amsterdam\, The Netherlands\, where he is involved in the Tunes & Tales project. He is affiliated with Radboud University and the eHumanities Group of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). His research interests lie in computational text analysis in the context of ethnology\, anthropology\, literary theory and cultural evolution. See also www.folgertkarsdorp.nl. \nFrom Rapacious Wolfs to Independent Women: Cultural Transmission of Little Red Riding Hood\nIn his lecture\, Folgert Karsdorp presents new perspectives on the structure and development of story networks. A story network\, defined as a non-hierarchical agglomeration of pre-textual relationships\, represents a stream of retellings in which retellers modify and adapt retellings in a gradual and accumulative way. I investigate the development of the world’s biggest fairy tale icon: Little Red Riding Hood. No story has been retold\, reinterpreted\, recontextualized and reconfigured as often as the story about the little girl in red who meets a wolf in the forest. On the basis of a large collection of Dutch retellings of the story\, I show that the evolution of its story network is largely determined by two random mechanisms of selection: cultural prominence and temporal attractiveness.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Benno Stein
DESCRIPTION:Benno Stein is chair of the Web-Technology and Information Systems Group at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. His research focuses on modeling and solving data- and knowledge-intensive information processing tasks. He has developed algorithms and tools for information retrieval\, data mining\, knowledge processing\, as well as for engineering design and simulation (patents granted). For several achievements of his research he has been awarded with scientific and commercial prizes. He serves on scientific boards\, as reviewer in various relevant conferences and journals\, and is the initiator and a co-chair of PAN\, an excellence network and evaluation lab on text forensics with focus on authorship analysis\, profiling\, and reuse detection. He is cofounder and spokesman of the forthcoming Digital Bauhaus Lab Weimar\, an interdisciplinary research lab for Computer Science\, Media\, and Engineering. He is also cofounder (1996) and scientific director of the Art Systems Software Ltd\, a world leading company for simulation technology in fluidic engineering. \nProfessional background: Study at the University of Karlsruhe (1984-1989). Dissertation (1995) and Habilitation (2002) in computer science at the University of Paderborn. Appointment as a full professor for Web Technology and Information Systems at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (2005). Research stays at IBM\, Germany\, and the International Computer Science Institute\, Berkeley. \nApplying Heuristic Search Technology for Constrained Paraphrasing\nTo paraphrase means to rewrite content whilst preserving the original meaning. Paraphrasing is important in fields such as text reuse in journalism\, anonymising work\, and improving the quality of customer-written reviews\, among other. Paraphrasing is often considered as an analysis problem – asking the following question: Are these two sentences (paragraphs) paraphrases? \nIn our talk we will take the synthesis view and consider the problem of automatically paraphrasing a text. To illustrate both the principles and the potential of our approach we consider the reformulation of a given text such that the text contains an – also given – acrostic. A text contains an acrostic\, if the first letters of a range of consecutive lines form a word or phrase. Our approach turns this paraphrasing task into an optimization problem: we use various existing and also new paraphrasing techniques as operators applicable to intermediate versions of a text (e.g.\, replacing synonyms)\, and we search for an operator sequence with minimum text quality loss. The experimental analysis shows that we can solve the acrostic generation problem both effectively and efficiently. However\, our main contribution lies in the presented technology paradigm: a novel and promising combination of methods from Information Retrieval\, Computational Linguistics\, and Artificial Intelligence. The approach naturally generalizes to related paraphrasing problems as they occur in shortening or simplifying a given text\, writing style obfuscation\, answer grading\, or e-journalism.
