Meeting Description:

The language of art and cultural heritage is complex and rich; it challenges
boundaries that divide science and the humanities by using terms typically
used in the historical, technological, scientific, mathematical and literary
domains. Art and cultural heritage – including painting, sculpture,
architecture, monuments and manuscripts – represent a key economic resource
especially for European countries. Exhibitions, art and cultural events feed
into a market whose actors range from single subjects to Foundations,
Associations, and corporations, from public to private enterprises that play a
central role not only in our economies, but also in our societes. In order to
activate this economic and social potential, art and cultural heritage need to
be brought to the focus of attention of the wide public through effective
communicative strategies. Nowadays, promoting and communicating art has become
a crucial and challenging task. Indeed, it requires specialists to be able to
manage ‘old fashioned’ (but still popular) text types such as for examples
brochures, flyers, catalogues and magazines as well as the latest digital
media. 

This international conference is connected with a research project led by a
consortium of three major Italian universities (University of Bologna,
University of Florence, University of Pisa) entitled “Lessico multilingue dei
Beni Culturali (LBC)” (Plurilingual lexical resources for cultural heritage).
The focus of this project is the collection, analysis and comparison of
linguistic and semiotic resources to describe artistic and cultural heritage
in a wide variety of languages, including Chinese, English, French, German,
Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. The ultimate goal of this
project is to compile an original, online, corpus-based dictionary that will
provide experts and professionals operating in the art and cultural sectors as
well as non-speciliasts with an invaluable resource for writing and
translating arts in a plurilingual perspective. 

The conference has three panels each of which will be introduced by a
keynote-speaker:

Panel 1 – Web Genres 
This panel focuses on the textual, multimedia, hypertextual and interactive
features of discourses in the web and  in social media on art and cultural
heritage.

Panel 2 – Corpora and Software
This panel will be dedicated to the presentation of studies on corpora that
focus on art and cultural heritage as well as software and applications used
to interrogate these corpora. 

Panel 3 – New lexicography
Panel 3 will focus on the impact of the digital on dictionaries. In recent
years this has become the focus of attention of the so-called new lexicography
– i.e. electronic lexicography, digital lexicography, 2.0 lexicography and 
eLexicography. Special attention will be devoted to existing lexical and
terminological resources already available on digital devices, or in the
process of being implemented that can aid art and cultural heritage
specialists, non-specialist, enthusiasts and amateurs.


Call for Papers:

Proposals are welcome from scholars in language and culture, ICT Engineers
specialized in natural language processing, communication experts as well as
private and public stakeholders operating in the management of art and
cultural heritage. The hope of the organizers is that this conference will
start a fruitful dialogue between scholars and professionals, private and
public bodies as well as universities and the market.

Languages of the conference: English, French, German and Spanish. Papers can
focus on any of the languages investigated in the above- mentioned research
project (i.e. Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian,
Spanish and Turkish). 
500 word proposals should be sent to lilec.lbc at unibo.it

All presentations are expected to be 20 minute long and will be followed by a
ten minute slot for questions and discussion. 

Important Dates:

Deadline for the presentation of proposals:  September 25, 2018
Notification of acceptance of proposals: October 15, 2018
Early bird registration and publication of final programme: November 11, 2018
