Paper & Pixel: Digital Humanities in Indology

22.-27.07.2014

PROGRAMM & EINLADUNG

Privatdozentin Dr. Heike Oberlin <heike.oberlinspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de>
Dr. des. Elena Mucciarelli <elena.mucciarellispam prevention@indo.uni-tuebingen.de>

The core of the Summer school is to develop and deepen the knowledge of young scholars and researchers working on textual material by using methods of the digital humanities. Especially with regard to manuscripts and rare books, this workshop deals with the process of digitizing, text structuring and encoding and its benefits for research. By using means of the digital humanities textual sources can be analysed in multiple ways and there are chances for new interdisciplinary approaches.

We will concentrate on material from the geographical area of India, with a special focus on South India. Actually there are quite a lot of projects in international Indology starting to apply methods of digital humanities to Indological resources (corpora). The Summer school is meant to give new input to students and researchers to develop their skills with regard to the technical issues as well as the conceptualization and organization of this kind of textual material. All scholars invited are involved in manuscriptology as well as in digital processing and the display of texts.

The Summer school aims at bringing together different scholars with experiences in this field and offer the students the chance to join this platform for exchange of knowledge and of best practices.

Supported by the Institutional Strategy of the University of Tuebingen (DFG, ZUK 63) / DFG-Workshop im Rahmen der Exzellenzinitiative der Universität Tübingen, zusammen mit der UB Tübingen und dem eScience Center.
