Last year’s successful forum series continues this Fall 2019,
with a new line up of discussions dedicated to supporting and celebrating
Digital Humanities (DH) work being done by students, staff, and faculty on
campus. Please join us to learn about the exciting advancements being made by
the DH community here at Nebraska.
On September 25, 2019, at 3:30 pm two projects by three
speakers will be presented in the Peterson Room (221), Love Library. Laura
Weakly, metadata encoding specialist in the University Libraries, will talk
about the interesting finds and challenges that can be encountered when trying
to encode correspondence in her talk “All that Glitters Will Not Be Encoded:
Fun Finds and Fiction in Historical Correspondence.”
Professors Brian Pytlik Zillig, digital initiatives
librarian, and Stephen Ramsay, Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor, English
Department will discuss “Muybridge I,” a collaborative art installation
involving animation by Pytlik Zillig and music by Ramsay. The work, a looping
three-minute video, originates in the photography of Eadweard Muybridge,
Victorian photographer and author of the seminal “The Human Figure in Motion,”
published in 1887.
On
November 13, 2019, the next DH Afternoon will feature discussions by Linda
Garcia Merchant, co-founder, Chicana Por Mi Raza Digital Memory Collective, and
