Digital Classicist London 2012: Call for Papers
Digital Classicist London 2012: Call for Papers
January 24th, 2012 by Gabriel Bodard The annual Digital Classicist London seminar series on the subject of research into the ancient world that has an innovative digital component will run again in Summer 2012.
We warmly welcome contributions from students as well as from established researchers and practitioners. Themes could include digital text, linguistics technology, imaging and visualization, linked data, open access, geographic analysis, serious gaming and any other digital or quantitative methods. While we welcome high-quality application papers discussing individual projects, the series also hopes to accommodate broader theoretical consideration of the use of digital technology in Classical studies. The content should be of interest both to classicists, ancient historians or archaeologists, and to information scientists or digital humanists, and have an academic research agenda relevant to at least one of those fields.
The seminars will run on Friday afternoons (16:30-18:00) from June to mid-July in Senate House, London, hosted by the Institute of Classical Studies (ending early this year to avoid clashing with the Olympic Games). In previous years collected papers from the seminars have been published in a special issue of Digital Medievalist; a printed volume from Ashgate Press; a BICS supplement (in production). The last few years’ papers have been released as audio podcasts. We have had expressions of interest in further print volumes from more than one publisher.
There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend, so please enquire).
To submit a paper for consideration for the Digital Classicist London Seminars, please email an abstract of 300-500 words togabriel.bodard, by midnight UTC on April 1st, 2012.
More information will be found athttp://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2012.html

The Humanities and Heritage
I have a little personal research project partially on the backburner, my own view of digital humanities. To improve my viewpoint I have been reading articles on the Internet (our library is a bit behind in this area) on definitions of humanities, for I think that is part of the problem in defining “digital humanities”. Lo and behold I found this (interesting if ironic) definition of humanities, with a strong emphasis on heritage:
National Endowment For The Humanities
According to the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act, “The term ‘humanities’ includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.”
Update
I am revising and updating this site in January 2012 so there may be a few new changes. I don’t know if I will keep stocking this blog with CFPS etc, as other people create handy design and digital media CFPs. Anyway please forgive me if some things change dramatically.
Please also note I am no longer handling postgraduate submissions to the College of Creative Arts, Massey University, please contact them directly via this web page:

upcoming publications
I am trying to get everything published as I tidy up my academic backlog.
I think I mentioned two journal articles were published last year
Tost, L., & Champion, E. (2011). Evaluating Presence in Virtual Heritage Projects. International Journal of Heritage Studies (Taylor & Francis). DOI:10.1080/13527258.2011.577796 OR http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13527258.2011.577796

Two book chapters should also appear in 2012 or maybe even 2013:
Travels in Intermedia[lity]: ReBlurring the Boundaries, Bernd Herzogenrath, ed. Interfaces: Studies in Visual Culture Series, Dartmouth College Press, 2012. NB Not in stock or not yet published, expected: June 2012. URL: http://www.upne.com/1611682595.html
Champion, Erik. “History and Heritage in Virtual Worlds” in Grimshaw, M. (Ed.). (Pending). The Oxford Handbook of Virtuality. New York: Oxford University Press.
Current state of abstract: The potential of virtual reality technology applied to history and to cultural heritage appears to be rich and promising. Teaching history through digitally simulated ‘learning by doing’ is an incredibly understudied research area and is of vital importance to a richer understanding of culture and place. However many issues await to confront us: potential confusion between what is the past and what is history; the issue of realism when applied to the simulated portrayal of history and heritage; effective and meaningful interaction; the ownership of cultural knowledge before during and after it is digitally transmitted across the world; and how we can evaluate the successes and failures of this field.
There are also two edited journal special issues (for Games and Culture, and Virtual Reality), that are either at the publishers or waiting with me.
And also an edited book project, on game mod design and theory, which I promise is still likely to be published this year.
Hope I have not forgotten anything! EDIT: I did forget an article for the International Journal of Architectural Computing, with Andrew Dekker, on biofeedback, should be published (when it arrives) here: http://multi-science.metapress.com/content/121497/

DIGITAL PHYSICALITY | PHYSICAL DIGITALITY SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
Digitality is the condition of living in a world where ubiquitous information and communication technology is embedded in the physical world. Although it is possible to point out what is “digital” and what is “real,” the distinction has become pointless, and it has no more explanatory power for our environment, buildings, and behaviour. Material objects are invested with communication means, teams are communicating even when not together, and buildings can sense and respond to the environment, each other, and to inhabitants.
Digital is no longer an add-on, extra, or separate software. Reality is partly digital and partly physical. The implication of this condition is not clear however, and we need to investigate its potential. We have to search for new strategies that acknowledge the synergetic qualities of the physical and the digital. This is not limited to artifacts or what we design, but it also influences the process, methods, and what or how we teach. For the conference therefore, we are looking for contributions that explore this synergy.
Authors are encouraged to submit their work on the conference theme.
Subjects may be, but are not limited to: CAAD curriculum. Modes of production. New design concepts and strategies. Mass customization. Collaborative design. Digital aids to design creativity. User participation in design. Generative design. Virtual architecture. Shape studies. Virtual reality. Precedence and prototypes. Web-based design. Design tool development. Human-Computer Interaction. Simulation, prediction, and evaluation. City modelling. Digital applications in construction.

We invite authors to submit original research papers for the issue scheduled for May/June 2012, under the title
Augmented Culture**
Gabriela Celani and Eduardo Nardelli
Guest editors
Deadline January 15th, 2012
Augmented Culture talks about a combination of interdependent social and technological meanings in a complex, multiple, interactive and interconnected context. It acknowledges that a new social and cultural paradigm is being developed as the old barriers of time, space and language are ruptured and transcended. In our knowledge-based civilization, we inhabit interconnected societies where new relational forms are configured. Additionally, cultural expressions have been qualitatively augmented starting from their integration with information and communication technologies, which have dramatically enhanced not only their creative and reflective processes, but also the realization and construction of cultural objects.
In this sense, an Augmented Culture compels us to investigate the wide and complex spectrum of the variables that express the interdisciplinary, collective and participative constructions of our present age, so strongly related to visual culture, information culture and interface culture. Thus, we consider it necessary to concentrate, to expand, to spread and to share exploratory, descriptive or explanatory experiences and productions of such phenomena. The attempt is to define a multidimensional theoretical framework that while recognizing today’s state-of-the-art and tendencies, providing us with a critical viewpoint.
Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers that have not been published elsewhere and are not currently under consideration for another journal. The submissions should be full-length papers (3000 – 5000 words, maximum length 6000 words) complete with illustrations reporting original research or practice.
Papers must be submitted only by the IJAC online system at http://www.architecturalcomputing.org/review/author/submit.php Please type “Augmented Culture” in the “Optional Comments” box in the form.

8th Conference of the International Committee for Design History and Design Studies
History marks territories that in some way or another are reflected in design. Since the first ICDHS conference, held in Barcelona in 1999, significant steps were taken to draw attention to the nature of design studies, practice and history in a wider world context. Parallel to that, the configuration of design landscapes has been significantly altered by education, technology and national state policies intended to promote local industries and sites by means of design.
The 8th ICDHS conference, “Design Frontiers: territories, concepts, technologies”, aims to discuss how design history and design studies may push the limits of design knowledge. The frontiers of design may be challenged by the exploration of new territories, by the establishment of new concepts, by the emergence of new technologies, as well as by rediscovering the past and by finding new ways of applying current wisdom.

The Connected Past: people, networks and complexity in archaeology and history
University of Southampton 24-25 March 2012
http://connectedpast.soton.ac.uk/
Organisers: Tom Brughmans, Anna Collar, Fiona Coward
Confirmed keynote speakers: Professor Carl Knappett and Professor Alex Bentley
Over the past decade ‘network’ has become a buzz-word in many disciplines across the humanities and sciences. Researchers in archaeology and history in particular are increasingly exploring network-based theory and methodologies drawn from complex network models as a means of understanding dynamic social relationships in the past, as well as technical relationships in their data. This conference aims to provide a platform for pioneering, multidisciplinary, collaborative work by researchers working to develop network approaches and their application to the past.
The conference will be held over two days immediately preceding the CAA conference (Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology), also hosted by the University of Southampton (http://caa2012.org), allowing participants to easily attend both.
The conference aims to:
• provide a forum for the presentation of multidisciplinary network-based research
• discuss the practicalities and implications of applying network perspectives and methodologies to archaeological and historical data in particular
• establish a group of researchers interested in the potential of network approaches for archaeology and history
• foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaborative work towards integrated analytical frameworks for understanding complex networks
• stimulate debate about the application of network theory and analysis within archaeology and history in particular, but also more widely, highlight the relevance of this work for the continued development of network theory in other disciplines
We welcome contributions addressing any of (but not restricted to) the following themes:
· The diffusion of innovations, people and objects in the past
· Social network analysis in archaeology and history
· The dynamics between physical and relational space
· Evolving and multiplex networks
· Quantitative network techniques and the use of computers to aid analysis
· Emergent properties in complex networks
· Agency, structuration and complexity in network approaches
· Agent-based modelling and complex networks
· Future directions for network approaches in archaeology and history
Please email proposed titles and abstracts (max. 250 words) to:
connectedpast@soton.ac.uk by November 20th 2011.
