As a result of the digital revolution and the new possibilities for communication and documentation, Russia's war against Ukraine is already considered the best-documented war to date. How should this be assessed, however, from the perspective of digital humanities? What does this mean for the concept of digital source criticism in times of fragile facts? What form of digital agency can be observed and what does this mean for the status of classical historical research and curatorial activities taken care of by institutions? The presentation develops four hypotheses on the manifold implications of the current war for the future of digital history. It also addresses ethical challenges for research and asks how a decolonization of Russian/Soviet history and the demand for a recentering of Ukraine in the European understanding of history can be met in the field of digital humanities.   Wednesday, 31 May 2023 14.00 - 15.00 Hybrid event C²DH Open Space or join online 31 May 2023 Digital hermeneutics Digital source criticism Hands-on History Published Eyes on Russia: The Russia-Ukraine Monitor Map, https://maphub.net/Cen4infoRes/russian-ukraine-monitor, Download 8.11.2022

New Impact Story: Gender in Poland’s Presidential Election Campaigns At a time when Poland is grappling with a conservative push and growing polarisation among its population, political scientists Agata Włodkowska and Joanna Gajda reconstructed and analysed how the notions of sex and gender featured in the 2015 and 2020 Polish presidential election campaigns. Using the CLARIN-PL tools Korpusomat and ComCorp, the researchers analysed the language used by the presidential candidates, as well as the presence of gender-related topics in their election agendas, showing the impact that vocabulary and dominant themes can have during the election process itself, as well as their importance for gender equality more broadly. here.

The NSW State Archives (now part of Museums of History NSW) publishes a series of useful indexes to its collections. The indexes include basic data transcribed from the records, such as names, dates, and places, providing fine-grained access to the collections. But when they’re explored as data, the indexes also suggest new ways of analysing, visualising, and linking sets of records. (For some of the possibilities and challenges of using this sort of data see Missing Links: Data Stories from the Archive of British Settler Colonial Citizenship). In 2016, I started harvesting the index data from the NSW State Archives website to make each dataset available as an easily downloadable CSV file. In 2019, changes to the website made it impossible to access the complete indexes, so I was unable to…

Introducing a New CLARIN Resource Family: Corpus Query Tools Written by Martin Wynne, Lancaster University, recipient of the CLARIN Resource Families Project Funding initiative. The CLARIN Resource Families (CRF) provide user-friendly overviews of available language resources in the CLARIN infrastructure for researchers from the digital humanities, social sciences and human language technologies. Many CRF are datasets of various types, but an increasing number now focus on software applications and tools.   The new Corpus Query Resource Family is for software applications which allow searching, exploring, analysing and visualising linguistic corpora and texts. Text and corpus analysis lie at the heart of digital scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, and a wide range of software tools are available in this domain. These software tools represent prime examples of the ways in which language technologies can support research across a range of disciplines, and they are therefore central to CLARIN’s mission.   The Corpus Query Resource Family includes both applications for installation on the users' own computer (desktop) and those accessible via a web browser (online), with some key information to help users to find them and choose the appropriate tool for their particular research goal. Corpus Query Tools are defined here as ones that allow the user to search and explore a text or corpus, and can produce concordances, wordlists and other means of understanding the the texts, such as concordances, clusters and keywords.   Resource Families include all tools in this domain which are useful to researchers (not only 'CLARIN tools'), so please get in touch if your favourite software application or online interface is not yet included. For comments, changes or additions, please email resource-families@clarin.eu.   More information: CLARIN Resource Families CLARIN Café on Online and Desktop Tools for Querying a Language Corpus  Blog post about the Café Elisa Gorgaini 2 May 2023

Alternatively, they may deconstruct fictional or virtual pasts, as seen in Shadow of the Colossus, or combine both approaches, like in Siberia. Joanna Wojdon is Professor of History at the University of Wrocław, Poland, member of the Steering Committee of the International Federation for Public History, co-organizer of the Public History Summer School in Wrocław, editor of Public History in Poland (Routledge, 2021) and co-editor, with Dorota Wiśniewska, of Public in Public History (Routledge, 2021).

New Impact Story: Chatbots and Copyright - CLARIN Café Addresses Key Issue for DH The release of ChatGPT, Bing Chat and, more recently, GPT-4, has turned the spotlight on language models and generative chatbots. The interest in AI-generated language data and human-machine interaction is significant, underpinned by extensive coverage in the media. However, many of the discussions tend to focus on the chatbots’ ability to produce content, and their potential uses in the future. Few address the specific issues relevant to those working with digital language resources.   CLARIN’s legal experts - the CLARIN Legal and Ethical Issues Committee, or CLIC - made this topic the focus of the latest CLARIN Café. Entitled 'Do Chatbots Dream of Copyright?' Copyright in AI-generated Language Data, the Café brought together a group of experts from different fields in order to explore the legal implications of working with or using AI-generated texts, and specifically whether these texts can—and should—be protected by copyright.

Do the historians gathered in the Tensions of Europe network have a particular relationship to archives, to sources, and to their research materials? What does being a historian of technologies, infrastructures, or networks imply, and is there a singularity regarding sources and archives? It is this relationship to the archives, to the sources, to the historical material at large, to the spatialities, and materialities as well, that this conference invites us to question. The issue of “Surprising Sources” can be understood in two ways: first by reflecting on a source that is surprising in its form (use of a series of stamps, unpublished data, a natively digital archive, material traces like abandoned factory, pipes, etc.), and second by presenting a source that is surprising in its content…

The Digital Turn had promised to ‘free’ knowledge from subjectivity. But as the reassuring promises of objectivity and accuracy based on notions of quantitative, computational, automated, and unsupervised turned out to be illusory, is digital scholarship even more biased than the interpretative act itself? As there is no such a thing as ‘neutral data’ or ‘objective methods’, what is now the role of the digital scholar? Is Critical Digital Humanities the answer? In this presentation, Lorella Viola will first analyse many of the different ways in which reality has been transformed by technology: the pervasive adoption of big data, the fetishisation of algorithms and automation, the digitisation of education and research. She will argue that the full digitisation of society, accelerated by th…

In this research seminar, we will discuss the ongoing extraction of data from the administrative archives of Dudelange, relying on an automated transcription, with layout detection and the automated extraction of temporal and spatial information from these sources to create historical maps. The city of Dudelange has entered a partnership with the C²DH, for which they shared their residential cards. These administrative forms contain information on the population movements in and out of the city. These are being scanned and transcribed. For the transcription, the project uses Transkribus to restitute not only the textual content of these administrative forms but also their structure, e.g., for each field, a tag is attached. Secondly, for the blocs of texts, a script to detect place and time information is being developed internally. All these steps should lead up to the structuration before import of the data to be visualised on a map and open these rich collections for further analysis, on the history of migration, housing, public health etc. We invite all interested persons to join the discussion on how to improve this pipeline and share other potential uses for the extracted material.    Wednesday, 19 April 2023 14.00 - 15.00 C²DH Open Space Maison des Sciences humaines, 4th floor   https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/logo_research_seminars_content_list.png?itok=r2xDOs_L Research seminar with Estelle Bunout. 19 April 2023 Contemporary history of Luxembourg Archives Data Science Digital methods Digitisation Visualisation Research seminars Published Hide image in content detail

Cette journée d’études interrogera donc la pluralité de ces interactions, mais aussi l’éditorialisation de la bande dessinée historique et, plus largement, les diverses façons dont les auteur.es contemporain.es s’emparent de l’histoire dans la bande dessinée.   Vendredi, 28 avril 2023 9h45 - 17h45 Mai…

There have been quite a few GLAM Workbench updates over the last month, here’s some notes. (See February’s update for more recent changes…) General developments After many months of work, all thirteen Trove repositories within the GLAM Workbench have been updated to include standard configurations, integrations, and basic tests. This will make ongoing development and maintenance much easier. Docker images of every repository are now built automatically whenever the code changes. These images can be used across multiple computing environments, including cloud services such as Binder, Nectar, and Reclaim Cloud, as well on a local computer. This means users have more options for running the notebooks within a consistent, pre-configured, and tested environment. With all the Trove repositories …

The history of European integration and Europeanisation has developed into a varied field that has moved on from an initial focus on the vision and achievements of the founding fathers. However, even though women played a vital part in the European project launched after the Second World War, their role has yet to be fully explored. Women tended to remain in the background until they began to be more readily accepted, from the mid-1970 onwards, as political leaders, particularly following the first European elections by direct universal suffrage (1979) and the appointment of the first female European Commissioner (1989). By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and divers methodological backgrounds, the conference aims to analyse the topic of women from a variety of perspectives including…

How do historians shape conceptions of history? How do these conceptions structure narratives and argumentation? And how do historians represent these structures by the design of their publications? Traditional text formats seem to favor the representation of linear progression: Text flows from beginning to end, mostly sequentially. Chapters and sections serve as means of hierarchization. This structure resembles the flow of time in history, on the one hand, and the logical ‘architecture’ of academic sense-making, on the other hand. However, complex conceptions of history like global entanglements, time layers, or spatial history resist the linear logic of the text. The same applies to data-driven research, when DH scholars present their interpretations, refer to data and visualizations, a…

In this session, we will not only discuss, but also touch, tinker, draw, and stitch our way to a collective understanding of conceptual matters: where making in the digital humanities currently is, and where we might want it to take us.   Subtitle:  with Cassandra Hradil, DH Specialist Image for Left Column:

The talk critically discusses the opportunities and challenges of developing serious video games on contested past. Vít Šisler, the lead game designer of the critically acclaimed historical games Attentat 1945 and Svoboda 1945: Liberation, will revisit the games’ development process and summarise key lessons learned during the latter. In particular, the talk will focus on the intersections and tensions between authenticity and fiction, realism and schematisation, and narrativity and procedurality. Vít Šisler is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Information Science and Librarianship at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts in Prague. He is also a co-founder of Charles Games, an indie game studio pushing the boundaries of narrative and serious games. He was a lead game designer of the award-winning video games Attentat 1942 (Best Learning Game, Games for Change 2018) and Svoboda 1945: Liberation (Grand Jury Award, IndieCade, 2022).     Thursday, 30 March 2023 16.30 – 18:00   Maison du Savoir, Auditorium 3.530, Belval Campus and online: https://unilu.webex.com/unilu/j.php?MTID=m555a452fb98f430094f0a6d5e907af88   Free entrance.

Following our last post focusing on Critical Discourse Analysis, today we highlight an automated document enrichment pipeline for automated interview coding, proposed by Ajda Pretnar Žagar, Nikola Ðukic´, Rajko Muršic in their paper presented at the Conference on Language Technologies & Digital Humanities, Ljubljana 2022. As described in the "Essential Guide to Coding Qualitative Data" (https://delvetool.com/guide), one of the main field of application of such a procedure is Ethnography, but not only. Thanks to qualitative data coding it is possible to enrich texts through adding labels and descriptions to specific passages, that are generally pinpointed by means of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis softwares (CAQDAS). This can be valid for several fields of applications, from the humanities to biology, from sociology to medicine. In their paper, Pretnar Žagar, Ðukic´ and Muršicˇ illustrate how relying on a couple of taxonomies (or onthologies) already known in anthropological studies may represent an asset to automatize and hasten the process of data labelling. These taxonomies are the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) and the ETSEO (acronym for Ethnological Topography of Slovenian Ethnic Territory) systematics. In both cases we deal with taxonomies elaborated and applied in ethnographic research in order to organize and better analyze concepts and categories related to human cultures and traditions.

The office building is one of quintessential architectural typologies of the twentieth century. Without any doubt, moreover, “the office” is one of the social institutions that has contributed to the formation and definition of modernity in the broad sense. Yet remarkably, historical research has only recently begun to pick up on the office building and its corresponding “office cultures”. In this seminar, I will explore some recent historiographical approaches, including Delphine Gardey’s notion of the office building as a “technical-organisational complex”. For Gardey, the office is characterised by an interplay of architectural/technical infrastructures (the “hardware”) on the one hand, and normative ideas on the occupants’ behaviour (the “software”) on the other hand. This combined focus on both architecture and its managerial determinants is also at the heart of the ongoing BUREU project.  Having started in 2022, BUREU is a transnational research project (C²DH / University of Leuven) that aims to expand our knowledge of office buildings, their planning, and their usage. It does this through a series of case studies on EU institutions in Brussels and Luxembourg. This way, BUREU also aims to contribute to existing scholarship on “hidden integration” processes in Europe. Besides sketching the project’s general research aims, I will also provide some tentative research results on the European Investment Bank and its late-1970s headquarters on Kirchberg.   Wednesday, 15 February 2023 14.00 - 15.00 C²DH Open Sapce and Webex 15 February 2023 BUREU: EU office buildings between architectural “hardware” and managerial “software”, 1950s-2000 Design European infrastructures European integration History of technology Oral history Political history Post-war era Transnationalism Visual and material culture Research seminars Published Hide image in content detail

When the first cases of what would be later recognized as AIDS were diagnosed in France, Belgium and the UK in late 1981 and early 1982, the European Community had no legal competence to deal with the emergence of a new disease. More than that, it had no competence to act in the field of public health, which had remained the prerogative of the member states since the beginning of the European integration. But as all member states detected some cases in the following months or years, and as the fear of a deadly pandemic rose in the European public opinion, the EC, which was simultaneously going through a new dynamic of integration (leading to the enlargements of 1982 and 1986, to the Single European Act in 1987, and to the Maastricht Treaty in 1992), was under pressure to “do something” and…

This conference will present current research on video game heritage in Switzerland, implying two research projects, Pixelvetica (2021-2022) and Confederatio Ludens (2023-2027). Pixelvetica provided a report on the current state of preservation in Switzerland, including guidelines aimed at politicians, heritage institutions, or game developers. We will present and discuss the conclusions from this report. Confederatio Ludens, a joint project of four universities (HKB, UNIBE, ZHdK, UNIL), will start in February 2023 and addresses a gap in the understanding of the Swiss video game industry and its cultural impact in the 20th Century. This project draws on existing research and will present and discuss the methodological challenges we are facing, for example in terms of oral history (many key actors are still alive), analysis of source code, and digital archiving. The talk will also introduce the field of game studies and its importance in understanding the broader cultural and societal context of video games. Yannick Rochat is a professor assistant in game studies at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland (Department of Language and Information Sciences, Faculty of Arts). His research activities are dedicated to the study of video game and computer heritage in Switzerland as well as the use of video games for teaching. He borrows from digital humanities and mathematics for his research and teaching.   Wednesday, 22 February 2023 14.00- 15.00 Online: https://unilu.webex.com/unilu/j.php?MTID=mbaa64980cd804e57166d90aeeaa324b1 22 February 2023 Public history Media history Oral history Preservation Hands-on History Published Screenshot from GNU GPL game, GLtron.

In 1922, the U.S. Office of Indian Affairs ordered a photographic survey of every reservation in the West. The federal government planned to pass a law making all Native Americans citizens of the United States. The surveys would measure individual family’s readiness for citizenship. Among the Apsáalooke (Crow Nation), the Indian Agent surveyed 244 houses. While these surveys and photographs are instruments of surveillance, they also provide a unique snapshot into Crow daily life. However, the descendants of the families haven’t seen these photographs before. It is relatively easy to create a digital archive to rematriate the surveys. But is it possible to do something more? Can we reframe these images wrought of settler violence as family portraits? Rebecca S. Wingo is a scholar of the I…

These groups will serve as one of the primary vehicles for community building within the Association. They will help the Association become more inclusive, collaborative, and sustainable by providing spaces that respond to community needs. CIGs are meant to be flexible, so that CIGs can emerge, transform and disband as priorities change within the field. CIGs will receive support from the Association, including use of the Association’s social media channels, a place on the Association’s website, the opportunity to participate in Association events, regular chances to feedback on issues related to the CIG’s area of interest, and formal opportunities to collaborate with other CIGs and external organisations.

La conférence a pour ambition de comprendre le rôle des avocats et des juristes dans le développement du Luxembourg comme centre bancaire depuis plusieurs décennies. Benoît Majerus, enseignant-chercheur au Centre for Contemporary and Digital History décrira dans un premier temps le rôle des avocats d’affaires dans le développement de la place financière. Le regard de l’historien sera ensuite complété par celui du journaliste Pierre Sorlut du D’Lëtzebuerger Land qui se penchera sur l’émergence et le succès des cabinets d’avocats d’affaires au Luxembourg ainsi que leur contribution au développement de la place financière. Puis Catherine Bourin, juriste et membre du comité de direction de l’ABBL, qui est l’organisation professionnelle représentant la majorité des banques de la place, clôturera la conférence par une intervention intitulée « Le droit et la place financière : bilan et prospectives ».   Mercredi, 8 février 2023 Début: 19:00 heures Bibliothèque nationale du Luxembourg 37D Avenue John F.

Although Douglass never knew his birthdate, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. We celebrate this date as a moment for creating Black history together by hosting a transcribe-a-thon. What is Douglass Day?   Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, we gather thousands of people to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. We frequently focus on important Black women’s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020), Mary Church Terrell (2021), and plenty more to come in future years.

In this video, Drs. Stephanie Vie and Jennifer deWinter explain some of the tools digital humanists can use for critical discourse analysis and visualization of data collected from social media platforms. Although not all the tools they mention are open source, the majority of them have free to use or freemium versions, including AntConc, a free-to-use concordancing tool, or several Twitter data visualisation tools such as Tweeps map or Tweetstats. Even though the video does not provide just-as-good open source alternatives to Atlas.ti or MAXQDA (an obviously a recurrent question or shortcoming that is recurrently discussed on OpenMethods), it sets an excellent example for how to introduce tool criticism in the classroom alongside introduction to certain Digital Humanities Tools. After briefly touching upon both advantages and disadvantages of each tool, they encourage their audience (students in Digital Humanities study programs) to pilot each of them by using the same data-set and not only compare their results but also reflect on the epistemic processes in-between. Sharing the video on Humanities Commons with stable archiving, DOI and rich metadata is among the best things that could happen to teaching resources of all kinds.

The 19th century was a dynamic moment in the history of English, with vocabulary undergoing rapid changes. Two different strands of work within the Living with Machines project collaborated to explore how language about machines changed over time. Each strand drew on different disciplinary models for research and practice. Voluntary crowdsourcing (also known as citizen science or citizen history, or crowdsourcing in cultural heritage) and computational linguistics are well-developed fields with established methods and epistemologies.

New Impact Story: Voices from Ravensbrück: Multilingual Oral History This impact story showcases the Voices from Ravensbrück project, which has produced a curated set of multilingual oral history interviews with survivors from the Ravensbrück concentration camp for women. The new ‘Ravensbrück Oral History Resource Family’ comprises 38 audio interviews from different countries and presents a unique opportunity to study and compare these historical sources. The compelling topic and the way in which these interviews are presented makes them attractive and easy to work with, opening up many avenues for cross-disciplinary and multilingual research in a broad variety of fields. In addition, it represents a valuable resource for schools, higher education, the media, and society more widely.  Read the full impact story here. Karina Berger 14 December 2022

Holiday Greetings 2022 was another big year for CLARIN! Not only did we celebrate CLARIN’s 10th anniversary as a research infrastructure, and among other things published a book about the achievements after a decade of work, but the community has been able to come together once again in person as well as virtually at the hybrid edition of CLARIN’s Annual Conference in Prague. Over the course of the year, many CLARIN Cafés were held, research was showcased in the Impact Stories, CLARIN  training materials made their way to new user groups, and CLARIN launched its first promotional video. On this year’s holiday card, we proudly present some of these highlights with six hidden links, including a final message from Franciska de Jong, looking back at her time as Executive Director. Thank you for a wonderful year – happy holidays and best wishes for 2023! View the Holiday Card Elisa Gorgaini 14 December 2022

A Message from Franciska de Jong The end of 2022 is also the moment that I will step down as Executive Director of CLARIN European Research Infrastructure Consortium See: https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/strategy/european-research-infrastructures/eric_en read more . I started to work for CLARIN in the summer of 2015, the beginning of a journey that brought many moments of discovery, the unravelling of complexity, achievements, innovation and growth. Language matters, and therefore language resources matter. So leading the mission of making them findable and accessible, and pointing out the potential for impact along many dimensions of the richness that has been collected, annotated and deposited, in growing volumes and for a wide diversity of languages, has been a deeply rewarding role. The journey also brought many moments of personal inspiration and satisfaction, not least because of the many moments of warm collegial collaboration and exchange. And the future? The landscape of research infrastructures in which CLARIN is positioned is very dynamic and there always seem to be new horizons. But even though some of the envisaged scenarios for the future may never materialise, I trust that there will be a multitude of ways in which another generation of experts can show the way for CLARIN to be able to adapt to new conditions and policy frameworks. Being a crucial building block for any new stage that will result from the evolutionary path taken, that is what I wish for CLARIN. And of course that it can continue its role in enhancing the options for exploring the cultural and societal diversity that is reflected in language. Good vibes for 2023 and beyond!

Guidelines and Best Practices for Research-Based Teaching Blog post written by Iulianna van der Lek and members of the UPSKILLS project   Teaching and research constitute the two core activities in academia. Yet, they are typically planned, performed and evaluated separately, often by different teams. This means that many possibilities for cross-fertilisation between the two domains are missed. One way to avoid this is through engagement in research-based teaching (RBT), with a special focus on the integration of ongoing research into teaching. While the benefits of research-based teaching (RBT) are increasingly recognised, its practical and formal/administrative aspects in the area of language and linguistics still need to be elaborated. One of the main goals of the UPS…

I ended up trying to find references to countries in a collection of 90,000 OCRd books. Of course I struck a few problems along the way, and didn’t get nearly as much done as I’d hoped, but that was really part of the point – to find the problems and explore the possibilities.
