New shape of sharing: networks, expertise, information

A forum on current issues in European librarianship

The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information continues conversations begun at the New Directions Symposium held in Frankfurt in 2017. This multi-day forum of panel presentations, a poster session, and interactive breakout sessions on key issues facing Western European collections and public services will encourage both structured and unstructured debate. We will advance our understanding of the challenges and initiate action in three areas: design new models for collaborative collection development and services; explore a growing range of content and format types and what they mean for libraries and researchers, and highlight the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process.

The persistence of the ephemeral: perspectives on evanescent objects

Scripta manent : si l’on en croit l’ancien lieu commun, le propre de l’écrit est de se conserver dans le temps, qu’il s’agisse de palier les failles de la mémoire, d’officialiser un acte, ou de transmettre une représentation de la parole. Pourtant, cette pérennité de l’écrit est tributaire de celle du medium qui le véhicule. Or, celui-ci, loin de se conserver éternellement, est au contraire sujet aux vicissitudes du temps. Dès lors, l’acte de conservation repose sur une volonté particulière, par laquelle s’exprime une valorisation de certains documents plutôt que d’autres. C’est cette valeur sélective accordée à ce qui est digne d’être conservé qu’il s’agira d’interroger lors de cette journée d’études consacrée aux textes, aux images imprimées et aux formats non pérennes du Moyen Âge à nos jours.

Digital Wellness

Open Information Science Review

Since its inception, the digital humanities has considered the question “what is it to be human in relation to machines in the digital age?” This issue of Open Information Science asks for papers that consider how we can understand “digital wellness” as part of the ongoing inquiry into what acts, representations, and understandings exist around human-ness in the digital era. Particularly, this volume seeks to explore the possibilities of digital wellness provided through a range of disciplines and forms. We invite papers which consider architectures, platforms, and diverse disciplinary engagements with the opportunities and challenges surrounding digital wellness.

Writing/Translating social media

Social media are now an integral part of our daily lives and the plurality of uses and misuses of those tools is striking : they range from personal interactions to corporate advertising or political campaigning, and from passive consumption of content to creative practices. Through their interfaces and because of their relation to time and topicality, social media trigger specific modes of writing and translating; they also impact the whole chain of publishing, redefine readership and raise archival issues. On could also mention the recent concentration of mainstream media within the GAFAM and an increased relianceon machine-generated content. We therefore welcome contributions that examine the process of writing and/or translating social media from a creative writing, translation studies, institutional, sociological or economic perspective.

Call for papers - History

Tradition, transition, innovation

À travers ces trois termes, ce sont les questions de transmission, d'adaptation, d'héritage ou de réappropriation des idées, des textes, des techniques qui sont envisagées. Les jeunes chercheurs en histoire, histoire de l'art, archéologie, philologie, etc. sont invités à répondre à cet appel, quelle que soit la période qu'ils étudient, et quelle que soit l'aire géographique concernée. Il s'agit de s'interroger les concepts de temporalité, de temps court et de temps long, tels qu'ils ont pu être vécus, ou au contraire ignorés par les contemporains, et d'observer comment cette problématique peut être un objet d'études dans tous les champs des sciences humaines et sociales.
