The course is organized in the context of ENArC – European Network on Archival Cooperation (EU Culture Programme 2007-2013) and co:op – Community as Opportunity. The creative Archives’ and Users’ network (Creative Europe. Support Programme for Europe’s Cultural and Creative Sectors from 2014).

Mar 9 – May 11 all-day

University seminar “Digital Edition”

Teacher: Vogeler, Georg, Ass.-Prof. Dr.phil. M.A.

Teacher: Vogeler, Georg, Ass.-Prof. Dr.phil. M.A.

How can the documents preserved in the archives be published with digital methods to satisfy requirements of scholarship? Preparing historical documents for research is a task in many humanities disciplines.

The result, the “scholarly edition” sees fundamental changes due the use of digital technologies: Not only a new, digital publishing medium takes the place of paper, but new forms of analysis, semantization, research and the production of multiple representation formats based on one edition (text) source have been developed.

The participants discuss the scholarly debate on the issue theoratically and work on practical examples coming from the scholarly domain of the participants, introducing fundamental techniques like TEI.

Legal Aspects of the Internet and New Media @ Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities
Mar 11 – Jul 1 all-day

University seminar “Legal Aspects of the Internet and New Media”

The internet has long been an integral part of private, academic and professional everyday life. Search engines, information services, internet platforms and social networks are just as naturally used by millions of users, as electronic forms of publication. Nevertheless, the legal framework, especially for the use and publication of digital resources in teaching and research are often inadequate and lead to significant limitations.

Teacher: Scholger, Walter, Mag.phil.

Teacher: Scholger, Walter, Mag.phil.

The course is devoted to the Austrian legal framework and will treat Copyright, Privacy, but also topics like computer security and ethical issues from a practical user’s perspective.
Also, we will look for international legal texts (such as EU Directives, UNESCO guidelines and the legal situation of neighboring countries), as well as alternative forms of publication such as Open Access and Creative Commons”.

Teaching material will be made available for download here.

Hranice. Historie. Lidé. @ Embassy of the Czech Republic in Vienna
Apr 23 @ 18:00 – 20:00

 

Invitation to the presentation of the conference transcript “Hranice. Historie. Lidé. – Grenzen. Geschichte. Menschen.”Capture

How does regional history evolve? How do people handle borders? How and when does the perceptionof history change in the peoples’ viewpoint and how does historiography react to this?

The conference transcript “Hranice. Historie. Lidé. – Grenzen. Geschichte. Menschen.”, resulting from a colloqium in Vranov nad Dyjí (CZ) in 2013, intents to approach and apprehend the phenomenon “border” from various scientifc angels as well as regional perspectives. This résumé not only outlines the read thread “border” but even more so illustrates how difficult it is to change people’s minds when legends, myths and traditional values and experiences are determinative. This book explains how – based on historic facts – the topic “border region Southern Moravia-Northern Lower Austria” is being experienced from a regional-historic perspective.
