#ComputationalHumanities

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
Michael Piotrowski

Had an interesting discussion today.

In linguistics, when hiring a postdoc (with some teaching load), you can definitely ask for a trial lesson on, say, the basics of morphology for first-year BA students. If you hold a PhD in linguistics, regardless of your specialty, you should know enough about morphology to do this.

If we wanted to do this in #ComputationalHumanities (or #DigitalHumanities), what might be an equivalent?

Tricky question, huh?

@neumarcx yes, I know it was @lysander07 et al's* proposal, should have made that clearer.

Please do not generalise from this unfortunate experience that the temp for "structured data topics in the DH community" is low or hostile per se. Please continue to propose contributions from this area!

Also as a way to keep/bring #DigitalHumanities and #ComputationalHumanities together (there will be a talk on this topic by Manuel Burghardt at the @DHdKonferenz).

@mxp Thanks for the text! I think spelling out the Atlantic-Continental divide in #DigitalHumanities / #ComputationalHumanities is really insightful (and I'd love US colleagues to read the text and voice their view on the matter). I share the feeling that the humanities / Geisteswissenschaften difference plays a role here, but I'd like to hear more about how you'd describe it. (I have a vague idea, but I'm not sure it's the same as yours.)

With "Introducing Digital Humanities to Theology", Volume 1 of the Compendium Computational Theology has been published, simultaneously in German <books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/hei> and English <books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/hei>. Although the starting point was to introduce theologians to #DigitalHumanities and #ComputationalHumanities, it is also a wonderful introduction to DH in general with great contributors!

Mit „Forschungspraktiken in den Digital Humanities“ ist Band 1 des Kompendiums Computational Theology erschienen, und zwar zeitgleich auf Deutsch <books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/hei> und Englisch <books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/hei>. Obwohl der Ausgangspunkt war, Theolog*innen an die #DigitalHumanities und #ComputationalHumanities heranzuführen, ist es auch allgemein eine wunderbare Einführung in die DH mit tollen Beitragenden!

💡 A rich and wonderful program at the Computational Humanities Research #CHR2024! Kudos to the organizers @comphumresearch, #AarhusUniversity! Many facets of computational approaches in the Humanities are being discussed. Looking forward to the Lightning Talk session shortly and excited to contribute myself: "Second-Order Observation through AI: Towards a Humanistic Approach to Augmenting Human Intellect."
