A DH-Leavened Musicological Toolbox
No full textGraduate-level training in music research methodologies tends to ignore digital humanities work and overlook the use of digital tools created in support of new forms of reading. Training instead focuses on source material in the student’s area of interest. This material includes secondary and primary (archival) resources, as well as information resources, such as: monuments of music and critical editions; indexes; bibliographies and thematic catalogs; dictionaries and encyclopedias; digital libraries of scores or editions; and databases of period-specific newspapers or journals. Graduate students taking research methods courses already have a toolbox built from their experiences as musicians and students of music, including the ability to read and interpret music notation, to understand theoretical and analytical concepts in music, as well as a command of music history, including the canon of musical works.
Digital humanities has become a major area of academic endeavor at the “interface of technological development, epistemological change and methodological concerns." An important characteristic of digital humanities research has been its interdisciplinarity. We argue that graduate training in musicology needs to include coverage of methodologies applied by digital humanists in support of new forms of reading, not only to broaden the canon of research topics in musicology, but also to build common ground with researchers of other disciplines. We propose that librarians are well positioned to provide this expertise and training
La città di passaggio e il Dilemma del porcospino. Il service design come strumento per la co-progettazione di spazi dedicati ai minori in campi rifugiati
No full textWars, exoduses and infosphere are the three main actors of the deep social and cultural change that is crossing our century. The link between these three phenomena has brought to the stage the trajectories of nomadic and not (geo)localizable populations, generating a new way of living space and affection for places.
The geographies of living have changed. The verb "to take root" has been replaced by the verb "to settle" replacing the idea of space appropriation and giving it an ephemeral meaning.
The temporary trace of a passage finds its concrete representation in the "city of passage", the refugee city-camp.
A city that Man is led to escape in continuum -mentally or via social- because of its ontological dimension. A dimension saturated with words such as exclusion, diversity, marginality; defined by the philosopher Marc Augè: "non. place".
In fact, places are such when the entity space is combined with the time of memory and the desire to preserve a trace. This trace takes shape from an appropriation and a malleability of spatial geometries: an act of building, closely related to the temporal dimension that it determines.
In the city of passage this action is absent; this involves a caesura in the act of living.
Habitare (from lat. habitāre, orig. 'tenere', frequent. of habēre 'to have') in fact refers to the concept of permanence: the continuous and repeated having of a place, not in the sense of possession but in the sense of knowledge and confidence with it.
Living becomes an act when the space is worn like a skin, like a dress (the same etymology of inhabiting) that is known. It is in the knowledge and management of this skin that spatial identity is determined. A deep-rooted identity that is not afraid of confrontation with the dimension "other" and "of the other".
Can participatory design encourage and facilitate the cultural interchange between inhabitants and context, transforming the physical and social limes into a limen? A threshold that allows the passage to distinct and different cultural identities?
Who are the protagonists of this process aimed at creating public value?
And what tool can service design use to pursue this objective?
The discipline finds an answer to philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's hedge-hog dilemma through the multimedia co-design of space. The app Hedge-hog - an acronym that means hedgehog in English and that phonetically plays with the word edge: limit - promotes a stimulus to play and creativity through the co-organization and co-management of play and training activities between stakeholders: the minors who live in the camp, the volunteer service operating within it, the minors who live beyond the limit.
The network connection between the various transit cities also helps to overcome physical distance and in some camp-cities makes up for the absence of volunteers by streaming the same proposed activities.
This process, through the cultural and relational interchange, originates the creation of a present and conscious time, an affection to the place, a memory, the first necessary bricks in the construction of the city of tomorrow
A Twitter Case Study for Assessing Digital Sound
No full textAcademic and cultural heritage institutions around the world have made measurable strides in the development of digital sound archives oriented towards research and access, but their impact on scholarship and society has been little studied. Traditionally, impact has been measured by citations; yet these are problematic metrics for non-traditional outputs like sound recordings. Social media data provide a promising avenue of investigation for measuring scholarly as well as societal impact. Twitter in particular has been shown to provide a high number of references for cultural and research outputs in all disciplines. This study analyzes Twitter references pertaining to the collections of five digital sound archives: British Library Sounds, Europeana Sounds, the Internet Archive Audio Archive, PennSound and UbuWeb. Using text analysis methods to identify high frequency events and trends, and labeling them with a rubric designed for measuring the impact of digital heritage resources, this study provides preliminary insights on user values as they relate to digital sound collections. Despite the limitations of using social media data, the evidence gathered in this case study characterizes aspects of the use of digital sound collections, and may point to future priorities for the digital preservation of sound.Peer reviewe
Against the Grain: Reading for the Challenges of Collaborative DH Pedagogy
No full textThis article provides a critical review of the past five years of literature in digital humanities pedagogy and faculty-librarian collaboration, commingled with reflections on personal practice, which extend findings from the literature. Faculty-librarian partnerships in DH pedagogy reflect a rapidly evolving area of engagement calling for expertise in teaching, subject knowledge, scholarly communication, digital technologies, and DH research methodologies. Although there is a rapidly expanding body of literature on these partnerships, the challenges of the work tend to be minimized. This article expands upon commonly encountered difficulties, and it points to potential solutions and best practices.Peer reviewe
