Exploring Paratexts in Digital Contexts
This day-long workshop revolves around the notion of paratext, a literary theory first presented by French narratologist Gérard Genette in 1987 (Seuils / English translation "Paratexts. Thresholds of Interpretation" 1997).
Originally envisioned in relation to manuscripts and printed text, the theory of paratext ambitioned to describe how texts materialise through the distribution and presentation of textual and contextual information that accompanies and structures text.
In digital contexts, the paratextual dimension tends to exhibit new qualities.This workshop focuses on paratext theory in digital realms and explore how paratext may offer a common ground for scholars in information and library science and in other humanistic disciplines.Patricia Tomaszek - 07.12.2012 - 11:22

Digital Methods Winter School 2013 and Mini-Conference
The 2013 Digital Methods Winter School is devoted to emerging alternatives to big data. The Barcamp, Hackathon, Hack Day, Edit-a-thon, Data Sprint, Code Fest, Open Data Day, Hack the Government, and other workshop formats are sometimes thought of as "quick and dirty." The work is exploratory, only the first step, outputting indicators at most, before the serious research begins. However, these new formats also may be viewed as alternative infrastructures as well as approaches to big data in the sense of not only the equipment and logistics involved (hit and run) but also the research set-up and protocols, which may be referred to as "short-form method." The 2013 Digital Methods Winter School is dedicated to the outcomes and critiques of short-form method, and is also reflexive in that it includes a data sprint, where we focus on one aspect of the debate about short- vs. long-form method: data capture. To begin, at the Winter School the results of a data sprint from a week earlier (on counter-Jihadists) will be presented, including a specific short-form method for issue mapping.

Interactions: Shelley Jackson
About Shelley Jackson
Shelley Jackson is the author of the virtually-canonized hypertext novel Patchwork Girl published by Eastgate. Jackson was recently selected as a Village Voice Writer on the Verge. Jackson describes herself as the lovechild of Samuel Beckett and Pippi Longstocking. On her website, ineradicablestain she writes: "Shelley Jackson was extracted from the bum leg of a water buffalo in 1963 in the Philippines and grew up complaining in Berkeley, California. Bravely overcoming a chronic pain in her phantom limb, she extracted an AB in art from Stanford and an MFA in creative writing from Brown. She has spent most of her life in used bookstores, smearing unidentified substances on the spines, and is duly obsessed with books: paper, glue, and ink.

What are Digital Humanities?
Digital Humanities is a buzzword and as such, the very concept and related research approaches are subject to immensely opinionated discussions both in printed and digital media, inside as well as outside of academia. But what are digital humanities? A new discipline within the ‘traditional’ or one opposed to the ‘traditional’ humanities? A mere set of methods and technologies imported from computer sciences? Or a certain way of perceiving and engaging with modern humanities research?
