Der Beitrag INVITATION: Presentation of the relaunch of the MHDBDB and IZMF/IMAREAL book presentation erschien zuerst auf IZMF - Interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Mittelalter und Frühneuzeit.

The disciplines involved in the study of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period developed an interest in the application of Digital Humanities (DH) methods at an early stage. They have contributed significantly to the formation of DH as a scientific discipline and can now build on a broad DH expertise and large and complex data treasures.

In recent years, many new questions and working methods for sources and objects from the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period have been added to this field – it’s time to present some of them in a lecture series: Students will learn how DH methods are applied and what possibilities they offer from a disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective. They will also be shown how DH approaches are used to analyse different types of sources (images, literary and historical text sources, objects, historical maps, archaeological survey data, music, etc.).

The spectrum ranges from the use of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distant viewing, DNA sequencing and network analysis to digital editing and annotation. Working with digital 3D models and GIS-based analyses as well as approaches from game studies and citizen sciences will also be a focus.

The lecture will take place every Monday from 5.15 pm to 6.45 pm from 2^nd October 2023 in the Georg Eisler lecture theatre (E.003 U1.003) at UNIPARK (Erzabt-Klotz-Straße 1, 5020 Salzburg). The lectures will also be recorded and will be available on UniTV after editing.

You can also follow the lecture online via Microsoft Teams.

Here you will find a list of the lectures as well as all access links – each lecture has the same link! The recordings of the lectures already presented can be accessed on UniTV-The Salzburg University Television.

From an interdisciplinary perspective, the series of lectures gives a historical overview to the thematic complexes of university and anniversary. Not only the University of Salzburg and its historical development will be taken into account, but also the wide range of aspects that are connected with the inception, the self-image and the external perception of universities in medieval and modern Europe to this day. These include, for example, their position in the context of medieval and early modern educational policy, the changing forms of organizing lessons and teaching canon as well as questions of representation and staging or the relationship between university and politics and its effects on the perception of educational institutions. Particular attention should be paid to the material dimensions of education, knowledge and knowledge transfer. The main goal of this course is to understand the university as a social as well as a real building in all its differentiated facets. The anniversary also offers the opportunity to discuss the topic of “anniversary celebrations”. This takes the content-related focus of the IZMF with regard to the interdisciplinary research of historical cultures into account.

The lecture will take place every Monday from 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. from Oct. 03, 2022 in HS Agnes Muthspiel (E.002 U1.002). The lecture will also be available online. You may also rewatch certain episodes via UniTV.

The focus, of course, will be on Dante’s poetic and philosophical, Italian and Latin works. Following our interdisciplinary approach, the manifold interrelations with theology, philosophy and poetry of the Latin and vernacular Middle Ages will be dealt with next to those with antiquity, the massive interferences with visual arts and music, and, last but not least, defining the profiles of political developments of those Middle Ages that Dante shaped in his work and that shaped him and them.

The lecture will take place every Monday from 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. from Oct. 04, 2021 in HS 1 (Thomas Bernhard).
The lecture will also be available online. You may also rewatch certain episodes via UniTV.

The questions within a history of things cannot be reduced to what they looked like, manufactured, spread, used, and charged with meaning. Rather, it asks how they are connected to each other and to people. Because people gain information about the material world and move within it by recognizing references and forming references. And also the theoretical concepts of things, their concepts, their connections and (symbolic) meanings can only be related to the practices associated with them. Thus, in order to be able to answer questions about the relationship between people and material culture, things must become observable as objects in the constellations, configurations and scenarios in which they are in some way significant or acting components.

The lecture series is offered as an analogue lecture format until further notice, the maximum room occupancy of the lecture hall is 40 people. Access is made according to the order in which the students arrive. Once the maximum occupancy number has been reached, access is no longer possible. The lecture can be followed online via Webex (sound and PowerPoint presentation). The access data is provided on Blackboard.

If access to the university’s premises is restricted again due to Covid measures, there will be a switch to digital teaching only.

The lecture will take place on Mondays from 17.15 to 18.45 (from 05.10.2019).

The lecture series was converted to the online format. Registered students can access the Blackboard. Access for external listeners can be requested by email from linda.beutel@sbg.ac.at
