SUMMARY:Digital Scholarship Seminar: Greta Franzini (Gottingen Centre for Digital Humanities) presents a paper on 'Study and automatic detection of text reuse occurring in historical texts'
DESCRIPTION:Greta Franzini\, University of G̦ttingen / University College London \nGrimms MÌ_rchen: Investigating an intertextual puzzle of fairy tales.   \nAs the name suggests\, the Electronic Text Reuse Acquisition Project (eTRAP) concerns itself with the study and automatic detection of text reuse\, and particularly that occurring in historical texts. Text reuse takes various forms\, ranging from verbatim quotations to paraphrasing and allusions\, and can happen within one language or across multiple languages. Historical texts pose numerous challenges to automatic reuse detection due to the fragmentary and inconsistent survival of works\, but also because of the synchronic and diachronic evolution of language. Unlike modern texts where sources are quoted and cited\, historical texts are not always so transparent\, thus opening up exciting opportunities for intertextual research.     \nOur case study\, the famous fairy tale collection Kinder-und HausmÌ_rchen by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm\, is a prime example of textual and cultural collision. The Brothers collected and adapted their stories from earlier works\, some of them dating as far back as the seventh century BC. The text reuse units contained in their tales\, the motifs\, allow us to digitally investigate cross-cultural parallels at both small and larger scales. Our analysis of motifs is aided by two additional datasets: a corpus of 36\,000 digitised personal letters belonging to the Grimm family and a list of the books owned by the Brothers. These textual resources give us a window into the writing of the tales\, helping us better understand the puzzle of intertextual relations between the Grimm collection and their predecessors or followers. The letters disclose conversations the Brothers had between themselves and with their acquaintances\, while the books carry their sources of knowledge and inspiration. \nThis talk will elaborate on the aims\, methods and progress of this new research project\, with a view to eliciting a rich discussion on the potential of automatic text reuse detection for the study of intertextuality at scale. \nGreta Franzini completed her Classics BA and Digital Humanities MA degrees at King’s College London. Greta is currently completing a PhD at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and works as a full-time researcher at the G̦ttingen Centre for Digital Humanities. Greta’s interests lie within the fields of Classical philology\, Manuscript Studies and Textual Criticism. Previously\, she worked as a Research Associate at the Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig. As of July 2015\, Greta is an Executive Board member of Digital Medievalist and Associate Editor of the Digital Medievalist Journal.

DESCRIPTION:SPI Seminars: Space\, Place and Identity Research Cluster Seminar Series: Patricia Garcia (Translation Studies\, U.Nottingham)\, ‘Human Spatiality and the Fantastic: Transgressions of Literary Realism’.\n“Human Spatiality and the Fantastic:  \nTransgressions of Literary Realism”  \nby \nDr. Patricia GarcÌ_a \n(Translation Studies/Spanish\, U. Nottingham) \n Wednesday\, 17 February at 1 p.m.  \nMoore Institute Seminar Room – GO10\, \nHardiman Research Building\, NUI Galway \nThanks to the Spatial Turn in the Humanities and Social Sciences we now know that space is not a simple container of our existence: our spatial abilities perform a crucial role in our construction and perception of reality. In literature\, space is a dimension that typically generates verisimilitude. The reader can identify that the action is set in a realistic fictional world thanks to a variety of spatial markers. However\, how does space intervene in the transgression of literary realism? This talk will start with a reflection on the concepts of space and place in Postmodernity in order to explore four fundamental categories of space in narratives of the fantastic: body\, boundary\, hierarchy and world. \nSPI Seminars – Space\, Place and Identity Research Cluster Seminar Series \nPlease note change of time to 1 p.m.

SUMMARY:Screening of Documentary Film\, 'All Politics is Local' by Dr Chris Eipper\, Australian Anthropologist.
DESCRIPTION:ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL \nABSTRACT \nIn Ireland\, “If you’re hungry enough\, you’ll dig up the tar on the road with your teeth to get a vote.” It’s not only the other parties that are a threat to you\, it’s your running mate. Indeed\, it’s the internal rivalry that can be the most bitter and acrimonious\, as well as the most entertaining. Based upon three decades of ethnographic research\, All Politics is Local is the first feature-length documentary depiction of Irish politicians from an ethnographic (rather than a journalistic) perspective. A narrative of the 2007 electoral campaign in Cork South-West\, it portrays the fray from within. As such\, it aims to make an academic contribution to Irish studies that is designed to inform and explain as well as to entertain.

SUMMARY:The Centre for Drama\, Theatre and Performance Speaker Series presents: Christina Wilson (University of Connecticut\, Fullbright Sholar) - 'Sam Shepard's America on the Irish Stage and in the Archive'
DESCRIPTION:As part of a special series “Mining the Theatre Archives @NUIG”\nOn their website\, the Abbey Theatre includes Sam Shepard in a roundup of playwrights whose work they have “premiered and nurtured.” As the only non-Irish writer on this list\, Shepard’s appeal to the Abbey (and their appeal to him) is curious. Drawing from materials in the archive\, this talk will situation Shepard’s presence within a longer history of American playwrights on the stage of Ireland’s national theatre before turning to a reading of Shepard’s specific concerns. In both his revision of canonical works and creation of new plays for the Abbey\, I argue that Shepard presents a much older relationship between the US and Ireland–one that begins in the Ulster Plantation and the subsequent first wave of Irish immigrants to colonial America. Consistently invoking the historical present\, Shepard uses this figure of the Scots-Irish to critique the violent and mythological foundations of America in the wake of the War on Terror. \nChristina Wilson is a PhD candidate from the English Department of the University of Connecticut and a Visiting Fulbright Student Scholar in Theatre Studies at NUIG. Her dissertation\, Scots-Irish Frontiers across 20th- and 21st-century American Literature\, traces how the Scots-Irish figure is used as metaphor in various cultural texts. Previous publications have appeared in Irish Studies Review\, Canadian Journal of Irish Studies\, and the book Imagining Human Rights in Twenty-First-Century Theatre: Global Perspectives.

SUMMARY:Launch of an Archives Search System
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Launch of an Archives Search system.\nI’m writing to invite you to a short session on Wednesday related to the university’s archives and a new system for searching them which has been developed. The event takes place at 5.15 in Special Collections and will take around 20 minutes – with brief intros and demos. Refreshments will be served after!  \nThe archives constitute crucial resources for a great deal of the work that goes on in the Institute. The new search system (CalmView) enables cross searching of holdings in a way that will seriously increase access to linked information. Being there would be a great way to show support and find out how to make even more of what we have.  \nI hope you can make it. For catering purposes you could let Ann Cullinane know if you’re able to come but do join us regardless (ann.cullinane@nuigalway.ie).

SUMMARY:Digital Scholarship Seminar - Prof Scott Rettberg and Dr Anne Karhio (University of Bergen)
DESCRIPTION:Digital Scholarship Serminar Series Spring 2016\nWe are pleased to announce the Spring 2016 series of Digital Scholarship Seminar! Presentations in this series touch on topics as diverse as electronic poetry\, intertextuality\, digital ethics\, Late Antique epic poetry\, and quantitative approaches to book history. Full details of the schedule are available in the attached poster. \n The first event of the series takes place on Tuesday 2 February at 12pm in Hardiman Building Room 1001. Two speakers currently based at the University of Bergen\, Prof. Scott Rettberg and Dr Anne Karhio\, will present papers that explore\, respectively\, the development and outcomes of the Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice (ELMCIP) project\, and the prominence of remediation over born-digital writing in the Irish electronic literature landscape. Lunch will be provided after what promises to be a stimulating session. As ever\, all are welcome. \n 12-2pm // Tuesday 2 February // Room 1001 (First Floor) Hardiman Research Building // Facebook event page \nScott Rettberg\, University of Bergen \nThe ELMCIP Project\, Electronic Literature Knowledge Base\, and Data Visualization Research Outcomes \nThe HERA-funded collaborative research project Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice (ELMCIP) that took place from 2010-2013 was one of the largest European-funded digital humanities research projects led by a Nordic partner in recent years. Led by PL Professor Scott Rettberg and the Electronic Literature Research Group at the University of Bergen\, the project included seven partners from six countries\, and resulted in outcomes including books\, articles\, an online anthology of European digital literature\, several films\, and an open-access research database. This presentation will both provide an overview of this project and focus specifically on one of its ongoing products\, the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base\, and on new types of research outcomes including “distance reading” data-mining and visualization projects that can be derived from it. \nAnne Karhio\, University of Bergen / NUI Galway \nBorn Digital\, Gone Digital: Irish poetry in the New Media \nThe role of digital media in poetic production and dissemination in Ireland in recent years has been registered by a number of scholars and institutions\, though the wider implications of adopting these new technologies have so far been patchily explored. One of the areas hitherto neglected is the relationship between born-digital poetry (in other words poetry written specifically in\, and for\, digital media) and the various digital remediations of poems previously disseminated in print. While Irish cultural institutions have been quick to adopt the possibilities offered by new technologies to bring existing poetry to new readers and in curating poetry in various online contexts\, born-digital poetry\, or e-poetry\, has been slower to emerge\, and has also attracted less critical attention. Through examples of recent poetry and poetry-related projects\, this presentation seeks to outline some of the literary\, cultural and institutional dimensions of born-digital and digitally remediated poetry in Ireland. \nScott Rettberg is Professor of Digital Culture in the Department of Linguistic\, Literary\, and Aesthetic Studies at the University of Bergen\, Norway. He holds a Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature (University of Cincinnati\, 2002). Rettberg was the project leader of ELMCIP (Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice)\, a HERA-funded collaborative research project from 2010-2013. Rettberg is the author or coauthor of novel-length works of electronic literature and other digital narrative and poetry projects including The Unknown\, Kind of Blue\, Implementation\, Toxi*City\, Hearts and Minds: The Interrogations Project and others. His creative work has been exhibited both online and at art venues\, including the Beall Center\, the Slought Foundation\, The Krannert Art Museum\, and elsewhere. Rettberg is the cofounder and served as the first executive director of the nonprofit Electronic Literature Organization.  \nAnne Karhio is a holder of Irish Research Council’s ELEVATE International Career Development Postdoctoral Fellowship\, co-funded by Marie SkÌÉåâodowska-Curie Actions. Her project on new media technologies and representations of landscape in contemporary Irish poetry is carried out at the University of Bergen\, Norway\, and the National University of Ireland\, Galway. She is a co-editor of Crisis and Contemporary Poetry (Palgrave MacMillan\, 2011) and has published number of critical essays on 20th and 21st century Irish writing.  \nConnect with DSS: Website | Facebook | Mailing list
