Call for Papers: Epigraphy.info IX. Workshop

Posted on 2024-10-08 by davideibeck

Dear colleagues,

The ninth Epigraphy.info workshop will take place in Aarhus (Denmark) from 2-4 April 2025. The workshop will be hosted by the Past Social Network Project and the Social Resilience Lab, Department of History and Classical Studies at Aarhus University, supported by the Center for Humanities Computing, and by The Museum of Ancient Art, Aarhus University.
   The workshop traditionally brings together researchers and enthusiasts of digital epigraphy to discuss the current trends and issues of the discipline (see https://epigraphy.info/ for details of previous workshops). The meeting will include presentations and a poster session, as well as training sessions and meetings/hackathons of the existing working groups. We welcome any proposals for meeting activities adapted to a variety of formats:
• Research papers for scholars who want to present their project or results
   (a) proposals for participation in the thematic panel Social networks and epigraphy, see link for details.
   (b) on any other topic of potential interest to the community
• Posters to present news, education projects, updates on existing projects etc.
• Hands-on sessions. We are exploring different options such as hackathons and presentations of a new tool followed by training. If a group thinks it would be useful for the community, we encourage you to present a proposal. If you would like to offer more extended training, please, reach out, so we can accommodate you.


Participation:
The meeting will be planned as an in-person event but with the option to attend and discuss some parts of the programme remotely. Additionally, we may record some of the presentations and talks and make them available via the Epigraphy.info YouTube channel, as well as place the posters on the Epigraphy.info website. Presenters are welcome to upload their contributions to Zenodo and link them with the Epigraphy.info community, see Publication for details.


Bursaries:
We are currently investigating the option to provide financial assistance to PhD students and independent researchers interested in presenting in person at the workshop. Please indicate in the submission form if you would like to be considered. We will provide updates on the Epigraphy.info websites in November.


Publication:
In accordance with the FAIR principles, Epigraphy.info as a community strongly supports the publication of all contributions on Zenodo under the umbrella of the Epigraphy.info community, which allows assigning unique DOIs to the publications and enhances their accessibility. We encourage the participants to publish their presentations, posters and other content on Zenodo and link them to the Epigraphy.info community.


We are currently investigating publishing the most interesting and conceptually challenging contributions as an edited volume dedicated to a) social networks and epigraphy, or more broadly, b) digital approaches in epigraphy. Interested contributors should be able to deliver a draft of their paper by mid-2025 for the volume to be published in 2026 as part of the Aarhus Studies in Mediterranean Antiquity, Aarhus University. Please indicate your interest in the attached form.


Submit your proposal:
If you would like to participate in the Epigraphy.info workshop in Aarhus, please fill in the attached form and upload your abstract (250 words for papers and posters, 500 words for hands-on sessions) before November 15th 2024. The Steering Committee will notify selected participants and circulate a provisional program by the end of December.


Proposal submission form


We are very excited to see you in the happiest city in the world (according to the Happy City Index in 2024). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Epigraphy.info Steering Committee (info@epigraphy.info).


On behalf of the Steering Committee and the local organisers,

I. ‘Digital Greek and Latin Epigraphy’ provides an overview of digital tools for the study of Greek and Latin inscriptions, including ongoing projects and teaching methodologies
II. ‘Digital Papyrology’ covers the fundamental principles of papyrology and demonstrates how digital techniques have transformed the field
III. ‘Multilingual-Multicultural Digital Infrastructures’ offers insights into the interplay between language, culture, and digital infrastructures, based on the many digital corpora and resources which focus on ancient languages
IV: ‘How to create Linked Open Data (LOD)?’ presents examples of how Linked Data can be used in the study of ancient written artefacts

We invite you all to try out the ENCODE course (to enhance your digital competences in the study of ancient writing cultures), use it as course or training material, and send us your feedback!

Dear readers, shortly after our Tyche Supplement 15 was printed, the follow-up volume is now available! Here, too, we are applying the print on demand principle, which means that we are now accepting pre-orders! A digital edition can also be found in our webshop and costs just € 65.-.

https://shop.verlagholzhausen.at/collections/tyche-supplement/products/tyche-supplementband-16

Description of the book:
Written as a volume of distinct exhaustive studies, ‘Latin Inscriptions form the Legionary Fortress of Apulum’ is more than a  technically crafted corpus of inscriptions, treating each discovery as a  ripe source for unique information on Roman army life and politics.
The inscriptions discovered in the legionary fortress of Apulum, the capital of Dacia, are exceptional finds, exclusively in situ, most of them from the headquarters (principia), but also from the barracks area. Because of this particular quality, they are more than individual texts, also becoming objects that, because of their precise findspot may reveal valuable information on use of space, private or public functionality of monuments or iconographic language of the political acts of the army.

In the volume one can find collective or individual statue bases of emperors, on their precise findspot, lists of centurions and special dedications by important officers and governors, the emergence of Serapis in the official spaces of the army, the worship place of the century in the barracks and not last, the first double confirmation (epigraphic and archaeological) of a military prison. With an inventory of the earlier epigraphic finds in the fortress, the volume attempts to suggest the magnificent view that one could have had when strolling through a legionary fortress: alleys between barracks decorated with statues and altars to the genii, crossroads with garnished sundials and the principia courtyard filled with imperial statues on impressive marble bases, finally the sanctuary of the eagle, where only Jupiter and Mars were also tolerated. Because of its multi-level of information provided, the volume could be a valuable instrument both to the student of the Roman army and epigraphy and to the experienced scholar, envisaging wider, more inclusive approaches

(Posted for Gabriele Conte.)

The University of Pisa is pleased to announce the launch of a new Summer School programme: ‘Ancient Egyptian Magic and Astronomy: Texts and Practices’. The Summer School is an intensive 7-day academic programme that aims to introduce students to the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian magic and astronomy. Classes will take place between 16 and 22 September 2024 and will be held fully online.

Italian and international experts in the field of Egyptian philology and archaeology will hold lessons on specific aspects of Egyptian magic, introducing the students to the main instruments and topics and focusing on significant case studies. Students will learn who were the magicians and practitioners of ancient Egyptian magic, what texts and objects were used to heal and protect, how the Egyptians interpreted the signs of the sky, and how they used them to gain insight into future events.

The Summer School is designed for students, professionals of Cultural Heritage, and people wishing to deepen their knowledge of Egyptology by having first-hand experience of the research conducted by scholars on specific topics.

The deadline for submitting applications is July 15, 2024.
