Presentazione fatta da Roberto Barbera alla XIIth AIES Conference "Diagnosis, Conservation and Valorization of Cultural Heritage"

Phoebe Apperson Hearst měla velmi úspěšného vlastního syna Williama, který byl ale více jako jeho otec: tvrdý obchodník. Našla však jemnou, uměleckou duši v malíři Orrinu Peckovi (1860–1921), který byl údajně gay a který ji, ještě za života své vlastní matky, začal oslovovat „má druhá mámo.“ Na základě podrobného výzkumu jejich vzájemné korespondence v Peckově pozůstalosti se můžeme ptát, jak moc si byla progresivní, bohatá žena 19. století, jakou byla Phoebe Hearst, vědoma Peckovy sexuality a pokud ano, jestli s tím neměla problém, nebo šlo o nevyřčené tajemství mezi nimi? Jejich příběh představí historik umění Ladislav Zikmund-Lender. Phoebe Apperson Hearst had a very successful son of William, but he was more like his father: a tough businessman. However, she found a delicate, artistic soul in the painter Orrin Peck (1860–1921), who was allegedly gay and who, while still his own mother's life, began to address her as “my second mother.” Based on a detailed study of their correspondence in Peck's estate, we may ask how much a progressive, rich 19th-century woman like Phoebe Hearst was aware of Peck's sexuality, and if so, if she had no problem with it, or was it an unspoken secret between them? Their story will be presented by art historian Ladislav Zikmund-Lender.

Although the idea of Europe dates back to ancient times and was crystallised in the Enlightenment, the plan for European unification emerged in the second half of the 20th century as a consequence of an economic process based on a single market and a single currency. European integration is therefore a recent chapter in the history of Europe, one which has been written before our very eyes, but it remains fragmented into disparate national histories. In the 21st century, those writing the history of Europe find themselves confronted with a threefold challenge: they must meet the demands of the digital age, adjust to the paradigm shift within the historical discipline and navigate the geopolitical upheavals that the continent has been experiencing since 1989 (the fall of communism; the enlargement of the European Union; the many crises the EU has faced, including Brexit; the divide between institutions and citizens; the socio-economic consequences of the global crisis, including the COVID-19 health crisis; the new nature of transatlantic relations, etc.).

Durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung nimmt die Bedeutung von Forschungsdaten in den Geisteswissenschaften, insbesondere in den Digital Humanities, zu. Dabei rücken in den letzten Jahren verstärkt Open Science-Paradigmen, wie der möglichst offene Zugang zu den Daten und die FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable) in den Fokus. Diese bedeuten einen Paradigmenwechsel für Wissenschaftler*innen und Wissenschafts- und Gedächtnisinstitutionen und erfordern die Kooperation im Rahmen nationaler und internationaler Infrastrukturen. Zur Förderung guter Datenmanagementpraktiken verlangen verschiedene nationale und internationale Förderorganisationen bei Projektanträgen Auskunft über den Umgang mit nachgenutzten oder erstellten Forschungsdaten, z. B. in der Form von Datenmanagementplänen (DMPs). Inzwischen setzt sich die Erkenntnis durch, dass es nicht mit einem einmaligen Datenmanagementplan getan ist, sondern dass DMPs während des Projektverlaufs angepasst werden müssen, um das Forschungsdatenmanagement aktiv und unter Einbeziehung aller relevanten Stakeholder zu unterstützen und seine Potenziale auszuschöpfen (aktives Forschungsdatenmanagement). Hierfür wird im Rahmen eines DFG-Projekts das Werkzeug Research Data Management Organizer (RDMO) entwickelt. Der Vortrag gibt eine Einführung in die wichtigsten Begrifflichkeiten und Konzepte des geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschungsdatenmanagements und seine Bedeutung für die Sicherung der guten wissenschaftlichen Praxis, die Qualitätssicherung der Forschungsdaten und die Erhöhung des Impacts der Resultate digitaler geisteswissenschaftlicher Forschung und führt diesbezüglich in Funktionalitäten und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten des Werkzeugs RDMO ein.

Agencification phenomenon in the EU has led to concerns about controls over EU agencies’ actions. As the quantity and ‘quality’, i.e., strength of de jure powers, of EU agencies have grown in the last decades, so does the system of control over agencies show its development. The controls over all EU agencies with the de jure decision-making powers as well as the European Central Bank within the Single Supervisory Mechanism have been supported with the establishment of Boards of Appeal, which count 9 entities. Like with the agencification phenomenon however, the establishment and characteristics of the Boards vary greatly from agency to agency without clear indications as to why the differences (should) exist and what exact role and how much discretion (should) be given to the Boards. As this unclarities put the legitimacy of the system of controls of EU agencies under pressure, an attempt to build a common system of review of agency action by the Boards seems desirable. To contribute to this ultimate goal of our study, this chapter offers a historical overview of agencification and review of agency action in the EU, rationales behind the creation of agencies’ appeal bodies and an attempt of classification of different boards to enhance comprehension and development of a common system of review of agency action. For learning purposes, we look at the system of administrative review in the US. We base our analysis on relevant secondary legislation, such as agencies’ founding acts, rules of procedure, case-law in the EU and in the US and relevant academic literature.

Natural language processing (NLP) for detecting lexical semantic change and linguistic linked open data (LLOD) are two areas of research that have shown promising results in the latest years. However, their potential of being considered together for analysing and representing semantic change from a humanistic perspective needs further study and development. The talk will present an overview of theoretical aspects, NLP techniques and LLOD formalisms intended to this purpose, and will focus on a project developed as a humanities use case within the COST Action “Nexus Linguarum - European network for Web-centred linguistic data science.” The discussion will include preliminary thoughts on the conception of a system that combines dictionary information with corpus evidence, and provides multilingual diachronic ontologies for humanities research.

Carlos Domper ens parla de la seva investigació en progrés que té a veure amb els debats en curs sobre la democràcia.De com s'entén el procés de construcció de la democràcia en el segle XX i si el feixisme va desenvolupar un concepte de democràcia. Aquest té diferents definicions al llarg dels anys: des de la conceptualització com un sistema mesurable a la conceptualització com a conjunt d'instruments per gestionar la societat i que s'adapta a tota mena d'ideologies. També anomena el concepte de "democràcia liberal", el de "democràcia feixista", etc. Explica que, fent referència a les humanitats digitals, hi ha instruments que són molt útils per l'anàlisi de discursos, paraules o idees. son les eines d'anàlisis o "data mining". Amb les que a partir d'una base de dades de fonts digitalitzades es pot fer un recerca molt exhaustiva, però no sempre es troben digitalitzades. Una de les eines a les quals fa més referència és el "Google Ngram Viewer" que permet rastrejar la freqüència d'ús de paraules en el temps dins la base de dades de Google. També ha hagut de recórrer a les fonts clàssiques i analògiques: analitzant diferents publicacions físicament. 7129.mp4 7129.mp3 4
