SUMMARY:Stephanie Bosch Santana: "The Digital Worlding of African Literature: From Blog and Facebook Fiction to the Blockchain"
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Bosch Santana is Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Her work\, which has been supported by the Mellon foundation\, focuses on Anglophone and African language fiction from southern Africa. Her current book project examines an alternative history of literary forms in periodical print and digital media from the 1950s to the present. It argues that writers from South Africa\, Malawi\, Zambia\, and Zimbabwe have developed new genres of fiction in these media to imagine changing modes of interconnection across space. \nThis Cultural Studies Colloquium is part of the UCHRI Junior Faculty Lecture Circuit. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Building in Scalar and Exploring the Future of Scholarly Publishing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:With Craig Deitrich and Tara McPherson. This workshop will serve as an introduction to Scalar\, a free\, open source authoring and publishing platform designed for scholars writing media-rich\, long-form\, born-digital scholarship. Developed by The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture at the University of Southern California\, Scalar allows scholars to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose that media with their own writing in a variety of ways; to annotate video\, audio\, images\, source code and text using the platform’s built-in media annotation tools; and to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing\, including nested\, recursive\, and non-linear formats. The workshop will cover basic features of the platform\, including a review of existing Scalar books and a hands-on introduction to paths\, tags\, annotations and importing media. It will also cover more advanced topics including Scalar’s built-in visualizations\, annotating with media\, and a sprinkling of design theory by Craig Dietrich\, Scalar’s Information Design Director. \nThis event requires registration! | REGISTER NOW  \nCoffee will be available from 9:30 AM and lunch will be served at 12 PM for registered participants. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSC IGHERT Program\, Film + Digital Media\, HAVC\,  University Library\, Grad Division

SUMMARY:Designing Digital Scholarship: Art\, Feminism + the Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:With Craig Deitrich (Claremont Colleges) and Tara McPherson (USC) \nThe story of the digital humanities is often narrated at a decades-long history of the computational manipulation of print. What alternative histories are concealed by such a story? How might we imagine DH differently if we move beyond a focus on text toward multimodal expression and design? What audiences might such work reach? This talk will trace some of the alternate histories of DH\, paying particular attention to the visual and the political by engaging the work of feminists\, artists\, and scholars of color. \nMcPherson will also consider how scholarly evidence might be engaged anew through the aesthetic possibilities of the digital archive. By taking up the work of the Vectors Lab\, she will approach these questions through concrete examples of digital scholarship today. \n\n  \nCraig Dietrich is a digital artist\, scholar\, and educator. Deitrich is currently the Director of the Digital Humanities Research Studio at Claremont Colleges. \nTara McPherson is Associate Professor of Critical Studies at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. She is a core faculty member of the IMAP program\, USC’s innovative practice based-Ph.D.\, and also an affiliated faculty member in the American Studies and Ethnicity Department. Her research engages the cultural dimensions of media\, including the intersection of gender\, race\, affect and place. She has a particular interest in digital media. Here\, her research focuses on the digital humanities\, early software histories\, gender\, and race\, as well as upon the development of new tools and paradigms for digital publishing\, learning\, and authorship. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSC IGHERT Program\, Film + Digital Media\, HAVC\,  University Library\, Grad Division

SUMMARY:Anne MacNeil: “A new breed of critical edition: the role of digital humanities in transforming music scholarship”
DESCRIPTION:Hands on (Digital) Humanities with Prof. Anne MacNeil \nAnne MacNeil will give a demonstration of her digital humanities project\, IDEA Music\, and the new software toolkit\, Prospect\, that powers it. In the last year\, MacNeil’s close collaboration with programmer Michael Newton (UNC Digital Innovation Lab) and other members of the DIL community in developing Prospect has resulted in a powerful platform that has transformed IDEA Music into a multi-dimensional\, multi-media publication that challenges the tradition concept of “critical edition”. The presentation will include a brief video from Michael Newton about his conceptualization of the data science underlying Prospect\, together with MacNeil’s demonstration of the project administrator’s role in configuring relational databases and visualizations and of the front-end user interface (GUI). Also included will be a description of Professor MacNeil’s work with bioinformatics specialists in developing a model for music analysis using a modified Waterman algorithm\, originally developed for analyzing amino acids. \nCo-sponsored by the Music Department\, Italian Studies\, and The Gary D.

SUMMARY:Zephyr Frank: "Beyond Eyeballmetrics: Visualization and Analysis in Digital Scholarship"
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Hands on (Digital) Humanities Series \nThis talk explores the boundary between visualization and analysis in contemporary digital scholarship. It argues for a shift in focus from creating visualizations (and related tools) toward a more robust analytical practice based on quantitative measurement. In this sense\, visualization is seen as a useful but often insufficient step in the research process. A critical assessment of a series of examples of work from Stanford’s Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis will provide the foundation for the talk. \nZephyr Frank is Professor of History at Stanford and the Director of the Program on Urban Studies. He is also the founding director of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA). At CESTA\, Professor Frank directs the Spatial History Project. His most recent book is Reading Rio de Janeiro: Literature and Society in the Nineteenth Century (Stanford\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Workshop with Miriam Posner: "How Did They Make That?"
DESCRIPTION:Directions in Digital Humanities presents:\nMiriam Posner\nUCLA \nHead-and-Shoulder Hunting in the Americas:\nExploring\nLobotomy’s Visual Culture \nWorkshop: How Did They Make That?\n\nThe catch-all term “digital project” can refer to a daunting array of technologies and methods. For a newcomer (or even an experienced practitioner)\, it can be hard to know where to start. In this presentation\, we’ll examine a range of digital projects to get a handle on what’s out there. Then I’ll share some simple principles for figuring out the sources and technologies that constitute a “project.” You can use these principles to model your own project\, or just to understand and evaluate someone else’s. \n\n  \nMiriam Posner is the Digital Humanities program coordinator and a member of the core DH faculty at the University of California\, Los Angeles. A film\, media\, and visual culture scholar by training\, she frequently writes on the history of science and technology. She is also a member of the executive council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities. \nMore details click here!

SUMMARY:Miriam Posner: “Head-and-Shoulder Hunting in the Americas: Exploring Lobotomy's Visual Culture”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the University Library \nBetween 1936 and 1967\, Walter Freeman\, a prominent neurologist\, lobotomized as many as 3\,500 Americans. Freeman was also an obsessive photographer\, taking patients’ photographs before their operations and tracking them down years — even decades — later. In this presentation\, Miriam Posner details her efforts to understand why Freeman was so devoted to this practice\, using computer-assisted image-mining and -analysis techniques to show how these images fit into the larger visual culture of 20th-century psychiatry. \n\n  \nMiriam Posner is the Digital Humanities program coordinator and a member of the core DH faculty at the University of California\, Los Angeles. A film\, media\, and visual culture scholar by training\, she frequently writes on the history of science and technology.

SUMMARY:Quantifying Creativity: Art through the Eyes of Computation
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Data Science Initiative \n  \nIs the experience of art uniquely human? Can algorithms be artistic producers? Or\, do machines remove the context and meaning from creativity? As artificial agents generate media and evaluate originality\, how will we draw the line between human and machine aesthetics?

SUMMARY:Patrick Murray-John\, “Latent Data: How\, Where\, And Why (Digital) Humanists Discover Data Hidden In Plain Sight”
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Murray-John will argue that data and the humanities have long held a close and fruitful interrelationship. Data in humanities research is not new; it is the capacity of new technology to do more with data that creates a sense of difference\, possibility\, and even anxiety. This talk will begin by looking at centuries-old treatment of data in the humanities\, and explore how humanists are rediscovering the data in their corporations. \n\nDr. Patrick Murray-John is a Research Assistant Professor and Omeka Developer Manager at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. He has a B.S. in Mathematics from Iowa State University\, and an M.A. in English Literature and Ph.D. in Anglo-Saxon Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Besides helping to develop Omeka\, he uses it and other tools to experiment with making data part of public humanities projects. A recent project of his\, the US Museums Explorer\, an Omeka site built on data released by the Institute for Museum and Library Services\, was recently cited as an example of using open data in the Center For the Future of Museums’ “Trends Watch 2015”. \nThis event is targeted to tool developers\, researchers\, librarians\, archivists\, instructors\, and graduate students from across the UC system. The event is open to all interested and will be especially of interest to those already working in Omeka to develop digital asset libraries\, curate research material\, teach visual arts\, or cultivate digital literacies. \n  \n\nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Lisa Snyder: "The Devil is in the Detective Work: Researching and Reconstructing Cultural Heritage Sites with Special Emphasis on The World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893"
DESCRIPTION:One might argue that the creation of a computer reconstruction of a cultural heritage site requires a curious mix of academic training\, detective work\, and obsession. Unlike automated or algorithmic technologies that record extant sites and artifacts\, building a three-dimensional computer model of an ephemeral or long-demolished environment combines traditional historical methods with new technologies and results in an entirely new form of scholarly publication. Rather than a printed monograph\, the hours spent in search of obscure details buried in primary source materials or pouring over archival manuscripts and photographs are transformed into an interactive learning environment for interrogation by students and secondary scholars. Using her computer reconstruction of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 as a case study\, Snyder will address the process of researching and reconstructing historic urban environments\, the challenges of translating multi-media research materials into a cohesive computer model\, and the opportunities for teaching and learning afforded by this new form of scholarship. (And\, yes\, obsession will be discussed.) \nLisa M. Snyder (Ph.D. UCLA) is an architectural historian and research scholar with UCLA’s Institute for Digital Research and Education (IDRE) and is an Associate Editor of Digital Studies / Le Champ Numérique. From 1996 – 2013 she was a senior member of the Urban Simulation Team at UCLA. Snyder’s primary research is on educational applications for three-dimensional computer models of historic urban environments. She developed the reconstruction model of the Herodian Temple Mount installed in 2001 at the Davidson Center in Jerusalem\, and is currently working on a reconstruction model of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition that is shown regularly at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. In 2010 she received an NEH-Digital Humanities Start-Up grant (HD-50958-10) for the development of a software interface (VSim) that provides users with the ability to craft narratives in three-dimensional space as well as the ability to embed annotations and links to primary and secondary resources and web content from within the environments. This work is continuing under an NEH Digital Humanities Implementation Grant (HK-50164-14). Snyder is also co-PI on “Advanced Challenges in Theory and Practice in 3D Modeling of Cultural Heritage Sites\,” an NEH Summer Institute being hosted at UMass Amherst in June 2015 and at UCLA in June 2016 (HT-50091-14). \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Michael Ashley: "Mukurtu CMS: Differential Access for the Ethical Stewardship of Cultural and Digital Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:Try and recall a family secret\, or a cherished memory shared between you and a parent or sibling. Now imagine holding on to that memory so that it could be shared with your descendants in 20 years\, or 200. How would you preserve it\, in what form? Who has access to it now\, and how will that memory be held and transferred from generation to generation? From a single moment to the wider experiences of communities\, oral histories and endangered languages\, the intimate interchanges that define codes and protocols for sharing do not easily translate to the digital exchange of the world wide web. In this discussion\, we will look at where we’re failing and succeeding to connect with indigenous priorities for differential access to cultural content\, and what this means for all of us in developing informed exchanges for the digital humanities. We’ll explore Mukurtu CMS\, a free and open source platform designed specifically to address some of these challenges and how community based agile software development can help to humanize the Internet. \nMichael Ashley\, CEO\, Center for Digital Archaeology & Director of Development\, Murkurtu CMS. Dr. Michael Ashley is Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Digital Archaeology (CoDA)\, a non-profit company affiliated with UC Berkeley that creates and leverages data management technologies for the preservation and sharing of cultural heritage. He is developing Codifi\, an innovative mobile solution for turning buried content into discoverable\, data-driven stories. Michael is the Director of Development of Mukurtu CMS\, an open source content management solution for Indigenous communities to share\, license and curate their digital heritage. He received his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in 2004\, where he went on as faculty and staff to co-found several initiatives\, including the award winning Open Knowledge and the Public Interest (OKAPI)\, and the Media Vault Program\, a digital preservation and access framework for the university’s museums and archives. An archaeological photographer by training\, Michael was the Media Team lead for the Çatalhöyük Research Project for 7 years. \n  \n\n  \nPlease join the IHR Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required.

SUMMARY:Rachel Deblinger: "Making Memories/Motifs: Holocaust Memory & the Unexpected Inspiration of Digital Humanities"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required.
