ESU "Culture & Technology", 23 - 31 July 2012 
University of Leipzig - http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/

We are happy to announce that registration for 
the European Summer School „Culture & Technology” will open the 16th of April.

Supported by the Association for Literary and 
Linguistic Computing the Summer School will take 
place at Leipzig University, Germany, from the 23rd to the 31st of July 2012.

The Summer School is directed at 60-75 
participants from all over Europe and beyond. 
Students in their final year, graduates, 
postgraduates, doctoral students, and post docs 
from the Humanities, Engineering and 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 and poster sessions. 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 
workshop programme will be composed of  5 to 7 
thematic strands. At the moment of writing the 
following workshops are being planned:
    * Computing Methods applied to DH: XML Markup and Document Structuring
    * Stylometry
    * 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
    * Project Management
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 can be found at: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/.

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 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)
