The Digital Humanist

From Domenico Fiormonte:

We are happy to announce the publication of our new book: L’umanista digitale, by Teresa Numerico, Domenico Fiormonte and Francesca Tomasi (Il Mulino, Bologna, 2010).

This work follows the collective Informatica per le discipline umanistiche (ed. by Teresa Numerico and Arturo Vespignani, 2004), a small best-seller in our field, as it was widely used in many humanities computing courses across Italy. In the last six years so many things have changed, so we decided to write a completely different book, and organized it around the idea of an essential “digital trivium”. Not just an introduction to DH, but a critical reflection on current tools (Google, among others) and practices.

Duris of Samos

Here is a post on a new conference on the fragmentary author Duris of Samos, which will be held in Paris in late 2010:

Douris de Samos (env. 340 – 280), polygraphe, auteur d’ouvrages relevant de la critique littéraire, de l’histoire de l’art, sans doute de la musicologie, et surtout de livres historiques. Il reste 96 fragments de l’œuvre de Douris, essentiellement tirés de ses textes historiographiques. Le naufrage presque total de l’œuvre de Douris a longtemps obscurci la place qu’il a occupée dans la tradition historiographique: mais les jugements opposés qu’il a suscités laissent à penser qu’il était non seulement lu et commenté à l’époque d’Auguste, mais qu’il a influencé l’historiographie issue des traditions hellénistiques. La perception de la personnalité de Douris dans l’histoire littéraire et dans l’encyclopédisme antique est l’un des angles d’approche qui doivent être retenus dans cette journée d’étude.
