Click on Knowledge

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Simon Frost, University of Southern Denmark <frost(a)litcul.sdu.dk> Date: Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 8:38 AM May I bring your attention to a forthcoming conference, Click-On-Knowledge 2011: Web-based Knowledge and Contemporary Scholarship 11–13 May 2011. As the title suggests, its quarry is how so-called web-based knowledge has and will effect humanities scholarship. The conference aims to gather providers of web-based knowledge and ordinary humanities users of the same (two groups who seldom meet and talk - or at least not enough). The keynotes, therefore, are selected to reflect these two groups. They include Professor Michael S. Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg IT-journalist Mark Malseed, author of The Google Story Professor Peter Naur, Computer Scientist and winner of the Turing Prize Professor Susan Schreibman, Director of the Digital Humanities Observatory (DHO), the Royal Irish, Academy, Dublin Dr. Linda Bree, Commissioning Editor, Cambridge University Press. Since the conference is also designed to be virtual, physical participation will not be necessary. Many people reading this list will not be in a position to cover travel costs to Copenhagen and, indeed, obligatory trans-oceanic travel for conferences may not represent the best future for global knowledge exchange. Copenhagen University’s IT Media and its prestigious Project Matterhorn will ensure that the online side of the conference runs according to plan. On a personal note, the conference strikes me (and it would, being one of the organisers) as a perfect opportunity not only to experiment with an online conference format but also to advance a discussion, which is already unavoidable, in a far more informed direction. I hope you feel encouraged to look through the conference website. The deadline for the cfp is 1 December 2010 Please address any correspondence to clickonknowledge(a)hum.ku.dk On behalf of the organising committee for Click on Knowledge Simon Simon R.

British Library posts Greek manuscripts to Web

by Thomas Mantzakides

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100927/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_greek_manuscripts LONDON – One of the world's most important caches of Greek manuscripts is going online, part of a growing number of ancient documents to hit the Web in recent years. The British Library said Monday that it was making more than a quarter of its 1,000 volume-strong collection of handwritten Greek texts available online free of charge, something curators there hope will be a boon to historians, biblical scholars and students of classical Greece alike. Although the manuscripts — highlights of which include a famous collection of Aesopic fables discovered on Mount Athos in 1842 — have long been available to scholars who made the trip to the British Library's reading rooms, curator Scot McKendrick said their posting to the web was opening antiquity to the entire world. McKendrick said that London could be an expensive place to spend time poring over the Greek texts' tiny, faded script or picking through hundreds of pages of parchment. "Not every scholar can afford to come here weeks and months on end," he said. The big attraction of browsing the texts online "is the ability to do it at your own desk whenever you wish to do it — and do it for free as well." Although millions of books have been made available online in recent years — notably through Google Books' mass scanning program — ancient texts have taken much longer to emerge from the archives. They don't suffer from the copyright issues complicating efforts to post contemporary works to the Web, but their fragility makes them tough to handle. They have to be carefully cracked open and photographed one page at a time, a process the British Library said typically costs about 1 pound ($1.50) per page. The library has moved aggressively to put large swathes of its collection online, from 19th-century newspapers to the jewels of its collection — The Lindisfarne Gospels, a selection of Leonardo da Vinci's sketches and the Codex Sinaiticus, the oldest surviving complete copy of the Christian Bible. The library's Greek manuscript project was funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, which supports Greek-related initiatives in arts and culture. Another batch of about 250 documents are due to be published online in 2012.

Ημερίδα: «Αρχεία και μετά την ψηφιοποίηση, τι;» http://www.avarchive.gr/default.php?pname=Home&la=1 Το Εθνικό Οπτικοακουστικό Αρχείο συμμετέχει στη διοργάνωση της ημερίδας «Αρχεία: και μετά την ψηφιοποίηση, τι;» που διοργανώνεται από την Ελληνική Αρχειακή Εταιρεία με συνδιοργανωτές, εκτός από το ΕΟΑ, τα Γενικά Αρχεία του Κράτους και την Ειδική Γραμματεία για τη Διοικητική Μεταρρύθμιση. Η Ελληνική Αρχειακή Εταιρεία (E.A.E.), μέλος της οποίας είναι και το ΕΟΑ, συμπληρώνει φέτος 20 χρόνια δημιουργικής παρουσίας στα αρχειακά δρώμενα της χώρας. Παρακολουθώντας τις εξελίξεις της αυτοματοποίησης και του εκσυγχρονισμού των πολιτιστικών φορέων, καθώς και τις μεταβολές που αυτές συνεπάγονται σε θέματα τεκμηρίωσης, διαχείρισης και προβολής της αρχειακής πληροφορίας, η Ε.Α.Ε. αναλαμβάνει την πρωτοβουλία να αποτυπώσει και να συστηματοποιήσει τις ποικίλες δραστηριότητες των προγραμμάτων ψηφιοποίησης καθώς και τις δυσκολίες ή τους προβληματισμούς που προέκυψαν κατά τη διάρκεια της υλοποίησής τους. Το ΕΟΑ, έχοντας με επιτυχία υλοποιήσει το έργο "Κρατική Ταινιοθήκη: Ψηφιοποίηση και Διάθεση Οπτικοακουστικού Υλικού" στο πλαίσιο του Επιχειρηματικού Προγράμματος "Κοινωνία της Πληροφορίας, και διαθέτοντας ήδη το ψηφιοποιημένο υλικό μέσω της ιστοσελίδας του συμμετέχει με ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον στη σημαντική αυτή πρωτοβουλία της Ε.Α.Ε. Θεωρώντας ότι στο Γ ΚΠΣ γράφτηκε μια σημαντική ιστορία ψηφιοποιήσεων με ιδιαίτερη συμβολή στη διάσωση και ανάδειξη της πολιτιστικής μας κληρονομιάς επιχειρείται, στο πλαίσιο της ημερίδας, η ποιοτική ανάγνωση και αποτίμηση της προοπτικής της δουλειάς αυτής και η ζύμωση για την πρόσφατη ιστορία των ψηφιοποιήσεων που έχει ιδιαίτερη σημασία ως προς την προοπτική της αντίστοιχης πρακτικής μέσα από τις δυνατότητες που ανοίγονται στο νέο πλαίσιο. Στόχος της ημερίδας είναι η ανάπτυξη ενός διαύλου διαρκούς επικοινωνίας μεταξύ των ενδιαφερομένων φορέων και η ανταλλαγή εμπειριών ώστε να συμβάλλουμε στην αναμφισβήτητα σημαντική αποστολή των έργων ψηφιοποίησης, που είναι η ανάδειξη και η προσβασιμότητα των πολιτιστικών τεκμηρίων της χώρας μας. Η ημερίδα πραγματοποιείται στις 30 Σεπτεμβρίου 2010, στην Αθήνα με την υποστήριξη του Ιωνικού Κέντρου στις εγκαταστάσεις του οποίου θα διεξαχθεί (Ιωνικό Κέντρο, Λυσίου 11, 105 56 Πλάκα). Η συμμετοχή στην ημερίδα είναι δωρεάν και μετά το τέλος των εργασιών θα χορηγηθούν βεβαιώσεις συμμετοχής. Δηλώστε έγκαιρα τη συμμετοχή σας συμπληρώνοντας την σχετική αίτηση.

Theophilos - Exhibit and booklist

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Theophilos @ Benaki Museum Theophilos : Works from the Collection of the Emporiki Bank The exhibition contains a group of twenty paintings from the art collection of the Emboriki Bank of Greece. It offers the public an opportunity to see up-close a representative sample of the oeuvre of this painter from Mytilene, which records in his characteristic manner his involvement with painting. The works in the collection include a selection of the usual themes chosen by Theophilos Hadjimichael: scenes from history or mythology; images taken from postcards and old lithographs or photographs; landscapes; and images of everyday life. The collection of these twenty works by Theophilos, shown in the exhibition, belongs to the Emboriki Bank of Greece since the 1980s and, with rare exceptions, this is the first time it will be shown to the public in its entirety. The exhibition is accompanied by the Emboriki Bank of Greece’s publication *** Theophilos (Athens, 1967), edited by Yannis Tsarouchis and Yiorgos Manousakis*** and with texts by Yannis Tsarouchis, a publication that brings together over 300 works by the artist. Throughout the duration of the exhibition there will be showings of the special tribute filmed for the series Paraskinio (Backstage), entitled "2003 – Theophilos Again?", directed by Lakis Papastathis.

Save the Warburg Library!

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joel Kovarsky <joel(a)theprimemeridian.com> Date: Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 12:42 PM http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/sep/30/save-warburg-library/ The concluding paragraph reads: "Recent articles in the German and Swiss press have called attention to the Warburg's travails. If the University of London insists on following through with its plan, perhaps the German authorities can find the means to bring the Warburg back to its original home. That would certainly be preferable to watching as philistines demolish a great European institution." This plea by Anthony Grafton and Jeffrey Hamburger appears in the most recent issue of _The New York Review of Books_, although the article in the print version is longer and more detailed than the one online. This reflects part of an ongoing effort to draw attention to the problems faced: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-20/warburg-institute-saved-from-nazis… . Grafton's article is an extension of a piece, written on 8 April 2010, which was critical of certain administrative moves within major British universities (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/apr/08/britain-the-disgrace-o…; this earlier article is only partially accessible at no charge).
