Digital Humanities and the ancient world: the role of digital
technologies in preserving, investigating and revitalizing antiquity

Host Institution: Lake Como School of Advanced Studies
Coordinating Institution: University of Pavia
Website: https://dhwa.lakecomoschool.org

Dates: 11-Sep-2023 - 15-Sep-2023
Location: Como, Lombardy

Focus: Digital Humanities for the study and preservation of antiquity;
Computational linguistics, Linguistic Linked Open Data, Digital
Epigraphy
Minimum Education Level: BA

Description:
Between the 1940s and 1960s, pioneering projects such as Father Busa’s
Index Thomisticus and David Packard’s Concordance to Livy marked the
entry of classical studies into the digital age. Back then, and up
until a couple of decades ago, digital approaches to the study of
antiquity might have been  thought to be ancillary: the Perseus
Digital Library might have seemed to simply provide existing  texts in
a more accessible form. By now, however, it has become clear that
digital methods are even  transforming how we understand antiquity.

As in the field of humanities as a whole, so in the study of
antiquity, innovative digital methods and  technologies are constantly
emerging to create new modes of researching, reconstructing,
preserving, and thus revitalizing the ancient world in its widest
sense. New technologies have already changed our way of studying and
analyzing the ancient world, and so all the involved disciplines
(history, archaeology) are expanding in the digital world to increase
their scientific reach as well as their capability to communicate the
results. To ensure full accessibility,  and to participate in the
effort towards increasing transparency and reproducibility in science,
the community is progressively committed to creating and publishing
new resources in accordance with  the FAIR principles (findability,
accessibility, interoperability and re-usability).

The school is designed for PhD students and young researchers who wish
to acquire digital skills in the study and preservation of antiquity,
without necessarily making Digital Humanities for the Ancient World
the center of their research career. The choice of courses is designed
to stimulate interdisciplinarity, ranging from academic disciplines,
such as linguistics, ancient epigraphy, history and archeology, to
applications of digital methods outside of the academic world, such as
creating digital collections and exhibitions. By cross-cutting
different disciplines, and by combining presentations of theoretical
concepts and practical activities, the school will describe how
ancient data should be collected, edited, processed and linked, in
order to produce, enhance and preserve meaningful knowledge about the
ancient world.

The summer school will be held in Como, Pliny the Elder’s birthplace,
and in 2023, exactly 2,000 after his birth. As is well-known, Pliny’s
contribution in  studying, writing about and thus preserving the
ancient world is invaluable.
