Um breve guia para as Humanidades Digitais

As digital methodologies, tools and skills become increasingly central to working in the humanities, questions concerning the foundations, project outcomes, evaluation and design have become urgent. The specifications provide a set of criteria to guide those actually working in the Digital Humanities, as well as those who are asked to evaluate and fund Digital Humanities researchers, projects, and initiatives

Media language: Video practices

This project explores the blog as a context considering the articulations between the context and content (blog and videos) forming this project. In order to do so, hyperlinks to practitioners’ videos (uploaded to individual Vimeo accounts), are gathered together on a blog page. Contributors are asked to consider the prompt of a glass of water for a video-based active reflection on their practice. A glass of water is an object of the everyday, yet one often present in interviews; this project started as a series of interviews. The water or the glass can be present or not present in the video, for example materiality could be considered, or perhaps the ‘publicness’ connected with the water glass at a site of presentation could be explored. Other ways may be found. This is a collaborative work where practitioners survey their individual use of media through the prescribed method of digital video. The result of the work can be accessed on Seminar Project website ( http://www.kmbosy.com/blog/seminar-project)

Undiagnosed Phenylketonuria Can Exist Everywhere: Results From an International Survey

peer reviewedMany countries do not have a newborn screening (NBS) program, and immigrants from such countries are at risk for late diagnosis of phenylketonuria (PKU). In this international survey, 52 of 259 patients (20%) with late diagnosed PKU were immigrants, and 145 of the 259 (55%) were born before NBS or in a location without NBS. © 2021 The Author

Practicing Geohumanities

The age-old confrontation between two cultures—humanities and science—obscures the fact that their traditions are fundamentally similar in several respects. A primary source of the continuing fracture between the two cultures might simply be practitioners’ preference for exclusionary ontological or epistemological worldviews, expressed most directly through the differing discipline-based standards of evidence that practitioners deploy or are willing to accept. In this article, I consider the nature of practice in the nascent geohumanities by uncovering the tracks of recent convergences in geography and the humanities, and by reflecting on case studies from my own recent work. Three aspects of transdisciplinary scholarly dialogue are highlighted: the standards of practice, the quality of work produced, and the ensuing pedagogy. I suggest ways of replacing the opacities of intellectual difference with the transparencies of recognition; how the outcomes of transdisciplinary practice might be judged; and practices in the transdisciplinary classroom.人文与自然这两种文化间历久弥新的冲突，掩盖了两者的传统在本质上有若干相似面向的事实。这两种文化之间持续摩擦的主要来源，可能纯粹关乎实践者偏好排他性的本体论或认识论之世界观，且绝大部份直接透过实践者所部属或愿意接受的不同领域根据的证据标准表现之。我透过揭露晚近地理学与人文学科的趋同历程，并反思我自身晚近工作的案例研究，以此考量晚近地理人文学科实践的本质。我将凸显跨领域学术对话的三个面向：实践的标准、生产着作的素质，以及随之而来的教学法。我提出以认可的透明度取代知识差异的晦涩、跨领域实践成果的评量方式，以及跨领域课堂中的实作。La interminable confrontación entre dos culturas—humanidades y ciencia—oculta el hecho de que sus tradiciones son fundamentalmente similares en varios respectos. Una fuente primaria de la fractura persistente entre las dos culturas podría ser simplemente la preferencia de los practicantes por las visiones ontológicas o epistemológicas excluyentes del mundo, expresados de manera más directa a través de estándares discrepantes de evidencia, de origen disciplinar, que los practicantes despliegan o que están inclinados a aceptar. En este artículo, considero la naturaleza de la práctica en las nacientes geohumanidades, poniendo de manifiesto las huellas de recientes convergencias en la geografía y las humanidades, y reflexionado sobre estudios de caso de mi propio trabajo recién desarrollado. Hago énfasis sobre tres aspectos del diálogo erudito transdisciplinario: los estándares de la práctica, la calidad del trabajo producido, y la pedagogía resultante. Sugiero la manera de remplazar las opacidades de diferencia intelectual con las transparencias de aceptación; cómo podrían juzgarse los resultados de la práctica transdisciplinaria; y las prácticas en el aula transdisciplinaria
