昨年度、京都大学文学研究科・文学部公開シンポジウムにおいて、文学研究科附属文化遺産学・人文知連携センターは、「デジタル人文学」の4人の専門家を呼び、シンポジウムを開催しました。デジタル人文学は、人文情報学、さらに英語のDigital Humanitiesをそのまま用いた用語でも呼ばれ、デジタル技術を用いて文化資源・人文資料の保全・展示・分析・教育を行う学際的な研究分野です。さらに今年度はKyoto University Digitization Hub of the Humanities, Social and Cognitive Sciences (KUDH)というワーキンググループを設け、8月22日から26日まで、KUDH Basics: LaTeXワークショップを開き、数学や物理学、文系ではとくに社会科学や認知科学の論文でよく用いられる組版ソフトLaTeXの講習を行いました。
そしてこの度、人文知連携の旗印のもと、本学の人文科学研究所および本学図書館から、デジタル人文学で活躍する3人の研究者を中心に、ヨーロッパおよびアメリカ合衆国から、7人のデジタル人文学の研究者・実践者を招き、国際学会を開催する運びとなりました。取り上げられる分野は、デジタルコーパス、文字符号化、デジタルアーカイブの3つですが、扱われる文化資源は、漢字文化圏、西洋古代、古代エジプト、古代マヤと広範です。参加者の時差なども考慮し、通常は2日連続で行われるところを、2-3時間のセッション4つに分け、第1-aセッションは10月2日、第2セッションと第3セッションを10月16日、第1-bセッションを10月23日に開催します。第1-aセッションと第1-bセッションは同じテーマのセッションです。各研究発表は40分ですが、その後20分と十分な質問時間を設けております。デジタル人文学、DHに関心のある皆様のご参加をおまちしております。

KUDH International Conference 2021: “Digital Transformation in the Humanities”
Last year, the Innovative Hub of Inter Humanities, the Graduate School of Letters, Kyoto University invited four experts in the field of Digital Humanities (DH) to participate in a symposium open to the public. Digital Humanities is an interdisciplinary research field that uses digital technology to preserve, exhibit, analyze, and educate about cultural resources and humanities materials. This year, we also established a working group called Kyoto University Digitization Hub of the Humanities, Social and Cognitive Sciences (KUDH), and from August 22 to 26, we held KUDH Basics: LaTeX, a workshop on LaTeX, a popular formatting software used in mathematics, physics, and in the humanities, especially in social sciences and cognitive sciences.
And now, under the banner of “Inter Humanities” cooperation, we have decided to hold an international conference, inviting three researchers active in Digital Humanities from Kyoto University, and seven researchers and practitioners of Digital Humanities from Europe and the United States. The three areas to be discussed are digital corpora, character encoding, and digital archives. The cultures to be covered are wide-ranging, including the Chinese character cultural sphere, Western antiquity, ancient Egypt, and ancient Maya. In consideration of the time zone difference of the participants, the conference will be divided into four 2-3 hour sessions instead of the usual two consecutive days, with Session 1-a to be held on October 2, Sessions 2 and 3 on October 16, and Session 1-b on October 23. Sessions 1-a and 1-b are on the same topic. Each research presentation will last 40 minutes but will be followed by 20 minutes of ample time for questions. We look forward to seeing you there if you are interested in digital humanities and DH.
