My conference notes are on <a href=\"http:\/\/philosophi.ca\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/DigitalHumanitiesConcepts2015\">philosophi.ca : Digital Humanities Concepts 2015<\/a>. The conference brought together an extraordinary set of speakers who were influential in the field when I entered it. Susan Hockey, Michael Sperberg-McQueen, Nancy Ide, George Landow, Wilhelm Ott and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dh-concepts.tu-darmstadt.de\/index.php?id=110&amp;L=2\">the list goes on<\/a>. I would be hard pressed to imagine a conference I have been at better able to reflect on the history and ideas of humanities computing. The organizers Andrea Rapp, Michael Sperberg-McQueen, Sabine Bartsch and Michael Bender deserve much more praise than I was able to lavish on them.<\/p>\n<p>Among all the great papers I will mention:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Michael Sperberg-McQueen gave a very smart and well argued paper on descriptive markup arguing against its dismissal as enforcing hierarchies.<\/li>\n<li>Marco Passarotti talked about the Index Thomisticus (which he directs) and the Busa Archive. He brought some documents including some Gantt charts and early letters. I am definitely going to visit him and the archive in Milan.<\/li>\n<li>Fotis Jannidis gave a great paper on topic modelling and its temptations. He has very interesting stuff to say about how the method has been adopted by humanists.<\/li>\n<li>Julia Flanders gave a paper on &#8220;Looking for Gender in the History of DH&#8221; that when published will, I predict, become mandatory reading. She gives us a way forward after what happened at DH 2015. It was a truly wise and humble talk that could go a long way to providing an inclusive way forward.<\/li>\n<li>Nancy Ide gave a great overview of the separate trajectories taken by DH and Corpus Linguistics.<\/li>\n<li>Peter Robinson gave a call for open editions and walked us through what that might mean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the speakers, there was a lot of reflection on the history of humanities computing and disciplinarity, though enframed by a German context. TU Darmstadt has an MA in Linguistic and Literary Computing (see image of the structure of the degree above) and is now developing an undergrad degree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TU Darmstadt MA LLC Structure Just left a most delightful conference on Key ideas and concepts of Digital Humanities in Darmstadt, Germany.
