    Clio-Guide. Ein Handbuch zu digitalen Ressourcen für die Geschichtswissenschaften

    Get PDF
    Im Frühjahr 2016 erschien erstmals das Handbuch zu digitalen Ressourcen für die Geschichtswissenschaft. Nur zwei Jahre später erscheint nun eine zweite, erweiterte und aktualisierte Auflage des Handbuchs. In der Einführung zur ersten Auflage war bereits darauf hingewiesen worden, dass es einige thematische Lücken gab – ein Umstand, der unvermeidlich war, angesichts der thematischen Breite des Handbuchs – in der PDF-Version umfasst es immerhin 1.109 Seiten. Zudem ist das Feld der digitalen Geschichtswissenschaft schnelllebig und durch rasche Veränderungs- und Entwicklungsprozesse gekennzeichnet. Die Tatsache, dass die Guides intensiv genutzt werden, hat die HerausgeberInnen motiviert, eine zweite Auflage früher als ursprünglich geplant zu publizieren und damit zumindest einige der inhaltlichen Lücken zu füllen. So hat etwa Rüdiger Hohls für den Teil A „Digitale Arbeitsformen und Techniken“ einen Guide Digital Humanities und digitale Geschichtswissenschaften verfasst, der grundlegend in ein Thema einführt, das zum Kontext aller Clio-Guides gehört. Mit dem Guide Zeitungen von Astrid Blome wird in Teil B „Sammlungen“ ein für Neuzeit- und Zeithistoriker zentraler Quellentypus behandelt und die derzeit verfügbaren digitalen Zugriffs- und Nutzungsoptionen umfassend vorstellt. Der Guide Niederlande, Belgien und Luxemburg, eine Gemeinschaftsarbeit von Ilona Riek, Markus Wegewitz, Christine Gundermann, Bernhard Liemann und Esther Helena Arens, füllt im Teil D „Regionen“ unter den Ländern Westeuropas eine Lücke und ergänzt die bereits vorliegenden Guides. Das in der Einführung zur ersten Auflage angesprochene Fehlen eines Guides zur Jüdischen Geschichte konnte mit der zweiten Auflage ebenfalls behoben werden. Anna Menny, Miriam Rürup und Björn Siegel haben einen umfassenden Guide Jüdische Geschichte im deutschsprachigen Raum verfasst. Mit dem Guide Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust von Laura Busse und Oliver Gaida liegt ein Guide zu einem für die deutsche Zeitgeschichte zentralen Thema vor. Dies gilt in gleicher Weise für den Guide DDR von Henrik Bispinck. Sämtliche schon vorliegenden Guides der ersten Auflage wurden in die zweite Auflage übernommen. Für eine umfassendere konzeptionelle Überarbeitung bestand hier kein Anlass; es wurden in einigen Fällen formale Korrekturen durchgeführt sowie nicht mehr gültige URLs aktualisiert und Verweise auf nicht mehr existierende Ressourcen gelöscht. Allen Autorinnen und Autoren sei für Ihre Arbeit herzlich gedankt; insbesondere denjenigen, die sich der Mühe unterzogen haben, einen neuen Guide für diese zweite Auflage zu verfassen. Dies ist nicht selbstverständlich. Wir hoffen auf eine intensive Rezeption aller Clio-Guides als Lohn für Ihre Mühe. Die HerausgeberInnen. Berlin, Göttingen und Potsdam im Mai 201

    The Center for Reflected Text Analytics (CRETA) develops interdisciplinary mixed methods for text analytics in the research fields of the digital humanities. This volume is a collection of text analyses from specialty fields including literary studies, linguistics, the social sciences, and philosophy. It thus offers an overview of the methodology of the reflected algorithmic analysis of literary and non-literary texts

    Creating Through Mind and Emotions

    Get PDF
    The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) Creating Through Mind and Emotions were compiled to establish a multidisciplinary platform for presenting, interacting, and disseminating research. This platform also aims to foster the awareness and discussion on Creating Through Mind and Emotions, focusing on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design and Social Sciences, and its importance and benefits for the sense of identity, both individual and communal. The idea of Creating Through Mind and Emotions has been a powerful motor for development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts

    A Survey on User Interaction with Linked Data

    Get PDF
    Since the beginning of the Semantic Web and the coining of the term Linked Data in 2006, more than one thousand datasets with over sixteen thousand links have been published to the Linked Open Data Cloud. This rising interest is fuelled by the benefits that semantically annotated and machine-readable information can have in many systems. Alongside this growth we also observe a rise in humans creating and consuming Linked Data, and the opportunity to study and develop guidelines for tackling the new user interaction problems that arise with it. To gather information on the current solutions for modelling user interaction for these applications, we conducted a study surveying the interaction techniques provided in the state of the art of Linked Data tools and applications developed for users with no experience with Semantic Web technologies. The 18 tools reviewed are described and compared according to the interaction features provided, techniques used for visualising one instance and a set of instances, search solutions implemented, and the evaluation methods used to evaluate the proposed interaction solutions. From this review, we can conclude that researchers have started to deviate from more traditional visualisation techniques, like graph visualisations, when developing for lay users. This shows a current effort in developing Semantic Web tools to be used by lay users and motivates the documentation and formalisation of the solutions encountered in the studied tools.

    Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer

    Get PDF
    The three concepts mentioned in the title of this book refer to different forms of contact between two or more literary phenomena. Transfer, reception, and translation studies all imply the ‘travelling’ and the imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. The volume includes 38 essays dedicated to research in this area that have previously been read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna

    Neolithic land-use in the Dutch wetlands: estimating the land-use implications of resource exploitation strategies in the Middle Swifterbant Culture (4600-3900 BCE)

    Get PDF
    The Dutch wetlands witness the gradual adoption of Neolithic novelties by foraging societies during the Swifterbant period. Recent analyses provide new insights into the subsistence palette of Middle Swifterbant societies. Small-scale livestock herding and cultivation are in evidence at this time, but their importance if unclear. Within the framework of PAGES Land-use at 6000BP project, we aim to translate the information on resource exploitation into information on land-use that can be incorporated into global climate modelling efforts, with attention for the importance of agriculture. A reconstruction of patterns of resource exploitation and their land-use dimensions is complicated by methodological issues in comparing the results of varied recent investigations. Analyses of organic residues in ceramics have attested to the cooking of aquatic foods, ruminant meat, porcine meat, as well as rare cases of dairy. In terms of vegetative matter, some ceramics exclusively yielded evidence of wild plants, while others preserve cereal remains. Elevated δ15N values of human were interpreted as demonstrating an important aquatic component of the diet well into the 4th millennium BC. Yet recent assays on livestock remains suggest grazing on salt marshes partly accounts for the human values. Finally, renewed archaeozoological investigations have shown the early presence of domestic animals to be more limited than previously thought. We discuss the relative importance of exploited resources to produce a best-fit interpretation of changing patterns of land-use during the Middle Swifterbant phase. Our review combines recent archaeological data with wider data on anthropogenic influence on the landscape. Combining the results of plant macroremains, information from pollen cores about vegetation development, the structure of faunal assemblages, and finds of arable fields and dairy residue, we suggest the most parsimonious interpretation is one of a limited land-use footprint of cultivation and livestock keeping in Dutch wetlands between 4600 and 3900 BCE.NWOVidi 276-60-004Human Origin

    Taphonomy, environment or human plant exploitation strategies?: Deciphering changes in Pleistocene-Holocene plant representation at Umhlatuzana rockshelter, South Africa

    Get PDF
    The period between ~40 and 20 ka BP encompassing the Middle Stone Age (MSA) and Later Stone Age (LSA) transition has long been of interest because of the associated technological change. Understanding this transition in southern Africa is complicated by the paucity of archaeological sites that span this period. With its occupation sequence spanning the last ~70,000 years, Umhlatuzana Rock Shelter is one of the few sites that record this transition. Umhlatuzana thus offers a great opportunity to study past environmental dynamics from the Late Pleistocene (MIS 4) to the Late Holocene, and past human subsistence strategies, their social organisation, technological and symbolic innovations. Although organic preservation is poor (bones, seeds, and charcoal) at the site, silica phytoliths preserve generally well throughout the sequence. These microscopic silica particles can identify different plant types that are no longer visible at the site because of decomposition or burning to a reliable taxonomical level. Thus, to trace site occupation, plant resource use, and in turn reconstruct past vegetation, we applied phytolith analyses to sediment samples of the newly excavated Umhlatuzana sequence. We present results of the phytolith assemblage variability to determine change in plant use from the Pleistocene to the Holocene and discuss them in relation to taphonomical processes and human plant gathering strategies and activities. This study ultimately seeks to provide a palaeoenvironmental context for modes of occupation and will shed light on past human-environmental interactions in eastern South Africa.NWOVidi 276-60-004Human Origin
