(Apologies for cross-posting, but feel free to forward!)
After having concluded the evaluation of the
numerous applications which reached us before the
deadline a few places and bursaries are still
available. Therefore we publish this last call.
We will accept applications for these places and
bursaries until the 10th of July 2012.
Please note, participation at the school is not
possible without an invitation letter which will
be send out only if the results of the evaluation
of an application are positive. Applicants are
asked to inform themselves if a certain workshop is still available.
3rd European Summer School in Digital Humanities
"Culture & Technology" , 23 - 31 July 2012, University of Leipzig
http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/
Thanks to the generous support granted by the
Volkswagen Foundation to the Summer School fees
could be reduced considerably and a bursary scheme could be put into place.
The Summer School is directed at 75 participants
from all over Europe and beyond. Students in
their final year, graduates, postgraduates,
doctoral students, and post docs from the
Humanities, Engineering or Computer Sciences, as
well as academics, librarians and technical
assistants who are involved in the theoretical,
experimental or practical application of
computational methods in the various areas of the
Humanities, in libraries or archives, or wish to
do so are its target audience.
The Summer School aims to provide a stimulating
environment for discussing, learning and
advancing knowledge and skills in the application
of computer technologies to the Arts and
Humanities, in libraries, archives, and similar
fields. The Summer School seeks to integrate
these activities into the broader context of the
Digital Humanities, where questions about the
consequences and implications of the application
of computational methods and tools to cultural
artefacts of all kinds are asked. It further aims
to provide insights into the complexity of
humanistic data and the challenges the Humanities
present for computer science and engineering and their further development.
The Summer School takes place across 9 whole
days. The intensive programme consists of
workshops, daily public lectures, regular project
presentations, poster sessions and two round tables.
The workshops while focusing on essential
questions such as XML Markup, the structuring of
documents, the investigation and categorisation
of style via statistical methods and the analysis
of corpora, address also Art History from the
perspective of Digital Humanities, and provide an
introduction to the employment of virtual
research infrastructures in Humanities research.
A workshop will demonstrate how the
interdisciplinary investigation of multimodal
communication between humans and between humans
and machines produces not only a new theory of
multimodal human / machine communication, but
also new theory and praxis of the annotation of
video, audio, prosody, syntax and pragmatics
which plays such a central role in the
remedialisation of our cultural heritage.
Likewise a workshop will be offered on project
management, which is becoming increasingly
important as a result of the tendency towards
project-centred research in the interdisciplinary
Digital Humanities. The results of the individual
workshops will be aired in plenary sessions.
* Computing Methods applied to DH: XML Markup
and Document Structuring (fully booked)
* Stylometry: Computer-Assisted Analysis of Literary Texts
* Query in Text Corpora
* Art history and the critical analysis of corpora
* Interdisciplinary approaches to the study
of multimodal human-human / human-machine communication
* TextGrid – a virtual research environment for the Humanities
* Large Project Planning, Funding, and Management (fully booked)
Each workshop consists of a total of 15 sessions
or 30 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 15.
Information on how to apply for a place in one of
the workshops and for a bursary can be found at:
http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/.
A bursary can only be granted if the person in
question is present at the school all through the nine days.
Preference will be given to young scholars of the
Humanities who are planning, or are already
involved with, a technology-based research
project and who submit a qualified project
description. Young scholars of Engineering and
Computer Sciences are expected to describe their
specialities and interests in such a way that
also non-specialists can follow, and to support
what they hope to learn from the summer school with good arguments.
The call for the Summer School should also be
intended as a call for project presentation. We
expect above all the young scholars who
participate in the Summer School to present their
projects. Next to projects of the participants of
the Summer School advanced institutional and / or
funded projects by scholars from the Humanities,
Computer Science and Engineering will be presented.
Please note that we are planning to publish the
projects which have been selected for
presentation together with the lectures given by
our internationally renowned specialists.
The public lectures will seek to handle questions
posed by the development of Virtual Research
Infrastructures for the Humanities from the
perspective of the Humanities, their own ways of
working and their specific types of data.
The Summer School will feature also two round
table discussions focusing on Virtual Research
Infrastructures which serve the Digital
Humanities, and on Digital Humanities Summer Schools.
All questions regarding the programme of the
Summer School, the selection of the participants
as well as the selection of projects for eventual
publication are handled by the international
scientific committee of the European Summer School composed of:
· Jean Anderson, University of Glasgow (Great Britain)
· Alex Bia, Universidad Miguel Hernández in Elche (Spain)
· Dino Buzzetti, Università di Bologna (Italy)
· Elisabeth Burr, Universität Leipzig (Germany)
· Laszlo Hunyadi, University of Debrecen (Hungary)
· Jan Rybicki, Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Kraków (Poland)
· Corinne Welger-Barboza, Université Paris 1 – Panthéon-Sorbonne (France)
