  ddh20 : Data and Digital Humanities 2020

  The digital humanities offer a particularly rich research field of studies for data processing, apart from those of the hard sciences and the social sciences. Indeed, the humanities are rarely subject to privacy principles (privacy by design, GDPR…) that affect most social science works and are not just about digital or binary data. Moreover, in DH the data pre-exist and are most often already known if they are not collected and formalized. In this specific context, we propose in this track to question the practices resulting from the constitution of corpus and uses of data in humanities.

  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  Text as object in the Middle Ages

  The International Medieval Congress (IMC) is the largest medieval studies conference in the world. In line with the Special Thematic Strand in 2019 “Materialities” and the recent creation of the strand “Manuscript studies”, we organize sessions on “Text as object in the Middle Ages”. Texts, indeed, are at the same time an idea and a form. The latter is the result of a combination of inherited social uses and specific intentions by the various actors involved in transmitting the text as idea. This process begins with the authors, continues to the craftsmen (parchment and paper makers, copyists and chancery clerks, painters and illuminators, sculptors and weavers, booksellers…) and then on to possessors, readers, archives and libraries. All textual artefacts are concerned: manuscripts, charters, inscriptions, tapestries, seals, coins, etc.

  Table ronde interdisciplinaire

  Face à la multiplication actuelle des bases de données numériques et dans le cadre d'une recherche sur « Le livre scientifique : définition et émergence d'un genre (1450-1850) », associé à l'élaboration d'une banque de données de livres d'astronomie, Uranie, cette table ronde a pour but de s'interroger sur les attentes des chercheurs et des professionnels du livre à l'égard de ces outils. À partir d'expériences concrètes, faites ou en cours, il s'agit de réfléchir sur les nécessaires exigences intellectuelles qui doivent présider à l'utilisation de l'outil numérique, les choix des informations, l'architecture, mais aussi les contraintes et les possibilités techniques pour qu'il devienne véritable outil de travail et de recherche.
