The interpretation of children’s writings has often presented a particular challenge to Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM), as the represented child has historically been deprived of agency, and children’s writings are neither ‘literature’ nor traditional display objects. In this article we will explore the methodologies of representation that are associated with the merging of children’s history and digital humanities. We will lay out an approach for digitally representing children’s writings held in museums. We will demonstrate the possibilities that have been put forward by librarians, archivists and curators internationally, and explore the tools and approaches that have emerged from the field of digital humanities for re-presenting the agency of the child creator and the child visitor within memory institutions. Moreover, in this article we will propose that the digital environment facilitates a critical site of experimentation in displaying children’s collections that allow creator, object, context, critique, and visitor to be equally valued.

The move towards the digital humanities will see a growing interest in digital tools, such as Ebooks. This study examines the opinions and perception of historians about how Ebooks and other digital tools affect the research process. Findings indicate that historians are concerned that the digital environment reduces the possibility of chance encounters with a text. They continue to recreate the environment that encourages serendipity to occur within their field, and would readily welcome tools that facilitate this.Le passage vers les humanités numériques ira en grandissant, grâce à la popularité des outils électroniques et des livres électroniques particulièrement. Cette étude examine les opinions et les perceptions des historiens quant aux livres électroniques et autres outils numériques dans le cadre de leur processus de recherche. Les résultats indiquent que les historiens se soucient du fait que l’environnement électronique puisse réduire les possibilités de découvertes fortuites dans les texte. Ils continuent de récréer un environnement qui suscite la sérendipité dans leur domaine et adopteraient volontiers un outil qui leur faciliterait la tâche à cet égard.

Multisensory Experience

Noisefest! is an interactive, multisensory experience centered around a small Maine town and rooted in the sounds and noise of its streets. Comprising a Virtual Reality tour, soundwalks and remixes, a 2D laser cut geographical map with Arduino controllers, and a Futuristic noise intoner, one of the objectives of this collaborative, transdisciplinary, and theory-based project is to create concrete opportunities for students to participate in the “real” world and engage with the materiality of noise and its manifestations by interacting with the soundscape through novel, interactive, and multisensory practices. Noisefest! is also an example of how one can creatively and artistically extend the reach of the digital humanities beyond the borders of academia and into the public realm.

New Challenges

This chapter describes how the new emerging digital environment challenges historians’ existing training and practice of source criticism. In an environment with increasing amounts of digitized data and digital methods there are new requirements for historians to develop new skills as well as new more extensive provenance data. Historians are faced with new challenges regarding new increasing demands for transparency and open scholarship that has comes with the growth of digital humanities in general and with digital history in particular. The old demands that historical research has to be well documented and reproducible has to be adapted to the promises and pitfalls of the new digital environment which especially means developing and adapting new standards and practices for what counts as good data management. The study discusses how the FAIR data principles can offer valuable guidance, but also how they cannot be implemented without supporting services that take into account different types of data and the data lifecycle.

RESUMO Este artigo examinará as fronteiras de contato das linhas de pesquisa de língua estrangeira com a cultura digital.Essas se estendem entre o ambiente analógico e digital na produção de conhecimento e pesquisa no Brasil. Mais especificamente, argumento que a pesquisa de línguas se serve da cultura digital para o desenvolvimento e a atualização de sua pesquisa. Este ensaio integra o estudo, em andamento, que é parte do projeto Language Acts and Worldmaking;e permite concluir que é preciso um maior engajamento multilíngue dentro das humanidades digitais e o entendimento de como estas duas áreas de contato se comunicam e colaboram entre si.Palavras-chave: Cultura Digital; Pesquisa; Línguas Modernas; Humanidades Digitais.ABSTRACT This article examines the contact boundaries between modern languages research and the digital culture. These boundaries extend between the analogue and digital environment in the production of knowledge and research in Brazil. More specifically, I argue that modern languages research draws on the digital culture for the development of its discipline and range of investigation. This essay is part of the ongoing study carried out by the Language Acts and Worldmakingproject and concludes that greater multilingual engagement is required within the Digital Humanities, as well as a more extensive understanding of how these two areas of contact communicate and collaborate.Keywords: Digital Culture; Research; Modern Languages; Digital Humanities.

RESUMO Compreendendo as humanidades digitais como um território transdisciplinar que objetiva a divulgação, circulação, valorização e preservação do conhecimento e da pesquisa, bem como do livre acesso aos seus dados e metadados através de ferramentas e possibilidades que a tecnologia e o ambiente digital proporcionam, e identificando a ciência da informação como um campo interdisciplinar que estuda a informação, seus fluxos e processos, das origens à sua transformação em conhecimento, percebe-se uma evidente área de interseção entre ambas. Todavia, em que bases essa relação vem se constituindo? O objetivo geral deste artigo é identificar a produção científica sobre humanidades digitais no âmbito da ciência da informação nos periódicos brasileiros da área. A pesquisa será exploratória em uma abordagem quali-quantitativa, iniciando-se pela revisão de literatura em ciência da informação e humanidades digitais que irá propiciar uma análise conceitual comparativa entre as duas áreas em questão. Em seguida, serão identificados os periódicos de ciência da informação no Brasil e os artigos publicados entre 2011 (data da publicação do Manifesto das humanidades digitais) e 2018, onde o termo “humanidades digitais” aparece no título do artigo, nas palavras-chaves e/ou no resumo. Após a identificação dos artigos, será feita uma análise dos autores e resumos. Espera-se com esta pesquisa a compreensão da relação entre ciência da informação e as humanidades digitais, mensurando a produção científica da primeira sobre a segunda, conhecendo seus atores e origens e analisando esta relação.Palavras-chave: Ciência da Informação: Humanidades Digitais; Periódico; Artigo Científico.ABSTRACT Understanding the digital humanities as a transdisciplinary territory that aims at the dissemination, circulation, valuation and preservation of knowledge and research, as well as free access to its data and metadata through tools and possibilities that technology and the digital environment provide and identifying the Information Science as an interdisciplinary field that studies the information, its flows and processes, from the origins to its transformation into knowledge, one perceives an evident area of intersection between both. However, on what bases is this relationship being constituted? The general objective of this article is to identify the scientific production on Digital Humanities in the scope of Information Science in the Brazilian periodicals of the area. The research will be exploratory in a qualitative-quantitative approach, starting with a literature review in Information Science and Digital Humanities that will provide a comparative conceptual analysis between the two areas in question. Next, we will identify the periodicals of Information Science in Brazil and the articles published between 2011 (date of publication of the Manifesto of the Digital Humanities) and 2018, where the term "digital humanities" appears in the title of the article, in the keywords and / or in the abstract. After the identification of the articles, an analysis of the authors and abstracts will be made. This research is expected to understand the relationship between information science and the digital humanities, measuring the scientific production of the first and second, knowing their actors and origins and analyzing this relationship.Keywords: Information Science; Digital Humanities; Periodical; Scientific Article.

Abstract This paper proposes a methodology to address the problem of the representation of Greek and Roman geography in the digital environment. As classical geography was not only a graphic representation of the world, but a multi-layered cultural system based on specific notions and concepts, it is now necessary to go beyond the taxonomy of place-names and their visualization on modern maps. The interpretation of ancient geography as a ‘mental model’ implies the importance of different and complementary aspects which should be addressed systematically: the expression of distances, the language of spatial orientation, the definition of environmental landmarks. For each of these aspects an integrated digital methodology is proposed, either implementing existing infrastructures or focusing on new strategies. The conclusion establishes a workflow to be tested on the corpus of the Geographi Graeci Minores, and extended to a variety of other texts.

Drawing on Karin Bijsterveld’s triple definition of noise as ownership, political responsibility, and causal responsibility, this article traces how modern Japan problematized noise, and how noise represented both the aspirational discourse of Western civilization and the experiential nuisance accompanying rapid changes in living conditions in 1920s Japan. Primarily based on newspaper archives, the analysis will approach the problematic of noise as it was manifested in different ways in the public and private realms. In the public realm, the mid-1920s marked a turning point due to the reconstruction work after the Great Kantô Earthquake (1923) and the spread of the use of radios, phonographs, and loudspeakers. Within a few years, public opinion against noise had been formed by a coalition of journalists, police, the judiciary, engineers, academics, and municipal officials. This section will also address the legal regulation of noise and its failure; because public opinion was “owned” by middle-class (sub)urbanites, factory noises in downtown areas were hardly included in noise abatement discourse. Around 1930, the sounds of radios became a social problem, but the police and the courts hesitated to intervene in a “private” conflict, partly because they valued radio as a tool for encouraging nationalist mobilization and transmitting announcements from above. In sum, this article investigates the diverse contexts in which noise was perceived and interpreted as such, as noise became an integral part of modern life in early 20th-century Japan.
