Special issue on full domes in digital creativity

27/08/2012Digital Humanities, game, virtual heritagedomes, full domesEMC

I am no expert in full domes but I was impressed with the articles on projected environments in full domes, in Digital Creativity Volume 23, Issue 1, 2012 . I feel quite fortunate that I get a free copy for reviewing articles, wish more journals were this generous to their editorial board members!

Nick Lambert, Mike Phillips and David McConville all write articles. My only criticism is that more European, Canadian and Asian-Australasian writers could also have featured. I have little or no knowledge of African and Middle Eastern full dome work, which is surprising (or maybe just reflects on me), given their incredible architectural heritage in domes.

Anyway, the references and background descriptions seem very useful as a reference material for a course.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Critical Heritage Studies

The University of Gothenburg announces two positions as; Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Critical Heritage Studies
Reference number: PER 2012/113 as part of the University of Gothenburg’s special initiative in Heritage Studies.
To qualify for the position of post-doctoral fellow, applicants must have a PhD in Sweden, or an artistic competence considered to be of an equivalent merit or a foreign degree determined to be of equivalent merit. The candidate must have earned the doctoral degree not more than three years prior to the application deadline except under special circumstances. Heritage Studies is a multi-disciplinary subject area, so candidates are not limited to a specific academic background; on the contrary, we want to encourage anyone interested in conducting research in the field of Heritage Studies to apply.
The fellowship positions will last for at most two years during which time each fellow will execute his or her own research plan within the field of Heritage Studies. The Heritage Studies initiative has been running since January 2010 and the understanding of the research field together with the possible options for continued research at University of Gothenburg, has led to the formulation of four strands guiding the activities in Gothenburg:

‘Globalized heritage in a decolonial setting’
‘Heritage region West Sweden’,
‘Archives, memory and the production of heritage’
and ‘Artistic practice and heritage research – identifying a heritage poetic’.

Aliens and carpentry, philosophers, books, and mediation

17/06/2012Digital HumanitiesHeidegger, materiality, mediation, philosophyEMC

I wrote the below post to the blog Words in Space by Shannon Christine Mattern.

I don´t know if it will be posted or replied to but maybe I should not have written it, my comment is a fishing hook in the ocean of a vast and surging question.

I have not read the book yet so this comment is ah floating, but in response to “philosophical works generally do not perpetrate their philosophical positions through their form as books” (93).”
I guess I wonder if he means the form has to create most of the content, or that it shapes some of the content as impact on the reader, or that it has to have a significant effect on the impact.
Also, philosophical works are not necessarily books as such (as he would know, being an Ancient Greek scholar), so if I take the sentence to mean philosophers don’t really consider the shape or form of their book, a couple of counter examples come to mind (if we can extend to writers who write philosophically)
-Steppenwolf by Hesse (the starting sentence is actually part of a look with the ending sentence)
-Kafka
-Philosophical investigations by Wittgenstein
-Kierkegaard
-and I would like to say Nietzsche but that is perhaps controversial.
It is a good thing to think about anyway, thanks for the interesting post.
(I am not sure if the fourfold notions in Heidegger´s philosophy of art, i.e. the silversmith, were inspiration, but they may be of interest to some, especially designers.)

Call for Papers for Liverpool TAG 2012

13/06/2012Conference, Digital Humanities, virtual heritagecfps, TAG, virtual heritageEMC

Call for Papers for Liverpool TAG 2012.

Call for Papers for a TAG session, proposed by Don Henson, Director, Centre for Audio Visual Study and Practice in Archaeology (CASPAR), Dr Monty Dobson, archaeologist, filmaker and TV presenter, Drury University, and Lorna Richardson, PhD Candidate, UCL Centre for Digital Humanities

Session title: Archaeology & Media – Entertainment or Edutainment?

This proposed session will explore both the educational and entertainment value of archaeological information in the media, from traditional television programming, archaeology on the Internet, online broadcasting, and the radio.

This session will ask what value does archaeology hold for the media? How has archaeology been presented to a media-hungry public to date, and what future does it have in the digital age? Does archaeology have brand-awareness? Should rigorous archaeological scholarship take a backseat to popular entertainment, and how can archaeological programming and information online provide narrative and information that is both entertaining and factual?

Papers are invited that discuss how archaeological sites and images are reused in popular culture; the longtail of archaeological edutainment; popular respresentations of archaeologists and archaeology in the media; is there an archaeological stereotype that we play to?; the importance of the presenter as the face of archaeology on television; how does media commissioning works with archaeological information and how do archaeologists work with the media?; how and why is archaeological information subverted, changed or ‘sexed up’ to pull in audiences?; should archaeologists share archaeological authority through media?; pseudoarchaeology as popular TV entertainment. Other related topics are welcome.

Submission deadlines for proposed papers is Friday 22nd June 2012.

For further information, or to submit a paper proposal, please contact Don Henson or Lorna Richardson

http://digipubarch.org/2012/05/29/call-for-papers-conference-on-digital-engagement-in-archaeology-strategies-evaluation-methods/
8th – 9th November at UCL Institute of Archaeology, London UK

Organisers:
Chiara Bonacchi (UCL Institute of Archaeology) & Daniel Pett (The British Museum)

Under the auspices of: the Archaeology and Communication Research Network (ACRN) and the Centre for Audio-Visual Study and Practice in Archaeology (CASPAR).

The organisers invite 2 types of papers:

a) Papers presenting frameworks for understanding, promoting and evaluating digital participation in archaeology by non-specialist audiences

b) Papers presenting tested strategies through which archaeologists working in different areas of the sector may engage non-specialist audiences.
Contributions of this type can be on:
– strategies for archaeological museums and sites
– strategies for university departments
– strategies for commercial archaeology

Papers of type b will be case-study based and present models of digital public engagement which have margins of repeatability and can be pointed out as exemplars. The models that are presented should be supported with evidence of their effectiveness for the institutions/researchers/archaeologists who apply them and for the public. Therefore, they should be grounded in audience research and include:
i) presentation of the context for using the model
ii) presentation of the case study through which the model has been tested (beneficial results obtained with what resources and in what conditions)
iii) limitations and repeatability.

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: 31 JULY 2012

If you are interested, please email a title and a 200 words abstract to Chiara Bonacchi and Daniel Pett by 31 July 2012.

personography

25/05/2012Conference, Digital HumanitiesEMC

I am becoming very interested in personography deriving from prosopography I think it could link virtual environments and text, especially ancient manuscripts. Merely planting textual information in VEs and VRs and Social Worlds (Active Worlds, Second Life) as alpha facing billboards is a cognitive challenge, aesthetically unpleasant and takes up valuable screen space.

But how? Partially via a more phenomenological treatment of place, virtual place, and spatial and locative audio and visual and haptic hermeneutic analysis of text. Also via text to sound or via avatars or projection (streaming video textures etc).

I have been invited to dinner by a colleague, a phenomenologist and philosopher of technology, he lent me a very interesting book.

http://www.amazon.com/American-Philosophy-Technology-Empirical-Turn/dp/0253214491 American Philosophy of Technology: The Empirical Turn [Paperback] Hans Achterhuis (Editor)

Sadly it is not very place related, but what is interesting in how it reveals no matter how carefully one attempts to discuss culture, society and technology, how difficult and temperamental it becomes. The chapters on Hubert Dreyfus and Andrew Feenberg are particularly interesting to me. It does discuss the notion of situated from Dreyfus (but not the memetic flood that arose from Dourish onwards), I just wish they would examine a little bit more closely what situated really entails.

William Pannapacker´s comments on DH2011 conference

19/05/2012Conference, Digital Humanitiesdebate, DH2011, digital humanities, William PannapackerEMC

http://chronicle.com/article/Big-Tent-Digital-Humanities-a/129036/

We speak with each other primarily through scholarly channels—which is essential to our work—but that creates a void in public discourse about what we do. How can we justify putting money into seemingly impractical fields when college costs more than an average house?
From my perspective, as part of a generation that went through graduate school in the 1990s, the “DH” field is a response to a feeling of disenfranchisement and alienation from traditional academic culture in the context of a radically changed system of employment.Digital humanities cultivates scholarly collaboration as well as individual exploration, technological innovation alongside methodological rigor. It redefines the nature of academic careers while dealing with longstanding disciplinary conversations. And it engages in complex, theoretical heavy lifting while building projects that are often based on the Internet, available to the public, and indisputably useful. (Consider the various projects of the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, and Hamilton College’s Digital Humanities Initiative.)

Interesting, not just for the article, but for the comments debate. How is DH related to the humanities, and not just to all academics? Precisely because it is new to humanities scholars (the issue of defining new media all over again).
Micah Vandegrift [http://micahvandegrift.wordpress.com/) wrote in the comments:

“Now I’d like to turn to the larger problems facing the field, such as the reality that most people don’t know all that much about it…We speak with each other primarily through scholarly channels—which is essential to our work—but that creates a void in public discourse about what we do.´
I think this is exactly the point of the “digital” aspect of digital humanities. The scholarly channels are now exactly public, and engaged with in the public sphere, through the nature of digital technologies. As Sandy Thatcher mentions below, the correlation between digital and openness, in this case opening up scholarship to a public audience, is a key component that delineates traditional humanities from digital humanities.”

VSMM conference 2-5 September 2012

19/05/2012Academic, Conference, Digital Humanities, virtual heritageEMC

OK, Neil Wang and I wrote a paper on Neil’s final project (not the prototype) entitled “Chinese Culture Approached Through Touch”, it has been accepted for the 18th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia (VSMM2012), to be held in Milan, Italy, from Sept. 2nd to 5th, 2012. I think that is 10 or 11 years since I first attended VSMM in Montreal, a lot of virtual heritage has gone under the bridge since then! Anyway, VSMM ends one day before the Digital Humanities Congress 2012 conference starts in Sheffield. Nice timing, and I think airlines like Ryanair connect between Denmark, Venice [well it is close-ish to Milan], Milan and various UK cities. I wish I could say it was planned that way 🙂

Title: Research As Infrastructure
Abstract:
In the edited book Debates in the Digital Humanities, edited by Matthew Gold, the chapter “The Digital Humanities or a Digital Humanism” by Dave Parry raised the controversial question as to whether Digital Humanities should be the application of computing, or an inquiry as to how digital media has irrevocably changed the Humanities. While this may appear to be a very theoretical issue, the debate has major practical consequences. For example, I have been entrusted with managing the development of a national research infrastructure for the Digital Humanities. This task may seem to involve logistics, technical details, and general funding issues. However, before we even get to that stage we have major fundamental, political and theoretical challenges.
We currently have four universities as partners, the national library (or libraries) should be joining soon, and hopefully the major museums will follow. Our government has asked that we include as many as possible, a noble goal, but in practice we have hit a major roadblock. How does one create a national focus while allowing academics and other researchers to pursue their own specific goals? This also raises a deeper question, what are the boundaries of the Digital Humanities pertinent to our researchers, beyond which we should not tread? Having discovered our niche, or niches, how can we focus on key research areas important to our country in particular, without becoming cut off from international networks?
Of course there are perennial questions such as how can one develop an infrastructure five years ahead, based on catering for technology that we are not yet using? How can a distributed network allow for unified identity and individual planning? This leads us to a more pragmatic issue of which resources are best managed centrally, and which are best distributed. These more technical issues do however return us to a central problem: how one create a centre for something that has no physical centre, unifying traditionally disparate and sceptical disciplines, without restricting them or discriminating between them?

So now my task is to solve the problems so I can deliver the paper!

Digital Humanities, 3 functions, 5 major requirements for basic infrastructure

19/05/2012Conference, Digital HumanitiesCanada, digital humanities, Geoffrey RockwellEMC

http://coreyslavnik.com/ojs/index.php/JournalOfViralAnalytics/article/viewFile/15/25
also presented at Digital Humanities 2010 in London, where Geoffrey Rockwell was paraphrased as saying

Three points in particular [sic] where made with regards to how the value of Digital Humanities could best be demonstrated. Perhaps the most important one is that DH can be described as an enabling field, in the sense that it allows other fields to do research that would otherwise not have been possible. The second one was that DH can help academics to dramatically increase their outreach, especially beyond academia (in particular in relation to crowdsourcing, social media etc. As Geoffrey Rockwell put it: We help the Humanities reach a broader public. Last, but not least DH helps to prepare students and young researchers for the new challenges they are going to face in their careers, for instance in the media content industry, but also in many other fields. It was also Geoffrey who formulated a list of requirements for the basic infrastructure that has to be made available by any university that is serious about supporting (digital) research:
Social lab for projects and meetings
Digitisation facilities and specialised hardware
Support for utilities (lists, blogs, wikis…)
Virtual machines for projects
Advising and long term technical support

Distributed Digital Humanities Labs

17/05/2012Academicdigital humanities, distributed, Gottingen, lab, SouthamptonEMC

We are not alone! Southampton and I think Göttingen are examples of distributed Digital Humanities Centres. It is not easy to do this and that is precisely why it is so important. I hope to write a working paper on the issues and currrent trial solutions this year, but I need to find out more about the issues, solutions, and labs that are truly distributed, and why.
