Author(s): Michailo Romanjuk,Zinaida Smutchak / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 31/2017

One of the important factors in the formation of their own national policy is taking into account the current migratory trends in the context of Ukraine's participation in European and global migration space. The purpose of the article is to study the nature of intellectual migration in Ukraine, clarifying the main reasons for its distribution process and identifying key measures to reduce the volume of emigration of scientists.Particular threat to social-economic development of country and sustainable development of society is intellectual migration, because the formation of highly qualified scientific personnel, the accumulation of intellectual capital, increase scientific and technological potential of the country is one of the important factors of economic and social progress. The most intensive emigration from Ukraine of highly qualified specialists (doctors and candidates of sciences) was observed in 90 years of the twentieth century. The main destinations during this period were Russia, the USA, Israel.Every year the number of Ukrainian labour immigrants increases. Ukraine is considered one of the largest donor of workforce. From the standpoint of preserving intellectual potential, it is important to implement the mechanism for the return of migrants to their homeland (transfer to temporary migration).

Doświadczenie bez nazwy. „Oświęcim” ≠ Auschwitz

Author(s): Agnieszka Dauksza / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2016

Dauksza examines the status of non-Jewish Polish concentration camp survivors. Their wartime experience and the way in which they functioned after the war has always been and continues to be different from the Jewish experience. Based on empirical studies, Dauksza argues that the problem is that their experience is ‘an experience without a name’: unable to name it, they are also unable to experience what happened to a significant group of Poles during the occupation. The question concerns not only actual former prisoners and their relatives – as the framework of post-memory transfer would suggest – but also individuals who for several years lived in fear of being deported, as well as those who witnessed the deportation of others, including Jews.

Русские в Трёхречье: исторический экскурс

Author(s): Andrey Zabiyako / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2016

The article deals with history of formation of the Russian enclave near Trekhrech’ye (Sanhe, the District of Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, the People's Republic of China).

Nowa Humanistyka: w poszukiwaniu granic

Author(s): Agata Bielik-Robson / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

Bielik-Robson proposes a critical analysis of the New Humanities. Despite the seeming continuity of emancipatory approaches, she argues, the New Humanities are not founded on enlightenment philosophy but on Heidegger and his unconditional critique of modern subjectivity and its Machenschaft, i.e. its calculating attitude to the world, to which it does not feel connected. The lack of connection also signifies a lack of ties: the unbridled subject of calculating rationality turns out to be the source of unlimited violence towards being. The New Humanities oppose the hubris of such a notion of subjective freedom by trying to identify its limits: to link it with existence once again, and in this way to tie it up, to entrap and tether it. The goal is to experience the ‘blessing of limits’: not to make a progressive or transgressive move towards the exit, but to make a regressive move, somewhat like the prodigal son – a manoeuvre that the tragic Greeks described as nostos or ‘return home’.

WHAT ARE STUDIA DIGITALIA?

Author(s): Willard McCarty / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

More than half a century ago an American professor of English literature, Joseph Raben, founded Computers and the Humanities, the first journal in the field. In the first article of its first issue Louis Milic wrote with uncommon clarity of vision that,The true nature of the machine is unknown to us, but it is neither a human brain nor a mechanical clerk. The computer has a logic of its own, one which the scholar must master if he is to benefit from his relations with it. Its intelligence and ours must be made complementary, not antagonistic or subservient to each other…. The computer can be made an extension of man only if it opens avenues we have not suspected the existence of. (1966: 4)

DIGITAL DOCUMENTARY EDITING OF ST PATRICK’S EPISTLES. LINKING THE MANUSCRIPT WITNESSES TO THE CANONICAL TEXT

Author(s): Roman Bleier / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

St Patrick of Ireland, the fifth-century missionary and bishop, wrote two epistles which are commonly referred to as Confessio and Epistola ad milites Corotici. These two texts survive in seven medieval manuscript witnesses which were copied centuries after Patrick’s time. This article discusses digital transcriptions of these manuscript witnesses. The transcriptions were encoded using the encoding standard of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) following a documentary editing approach. The transcriptions will be the core of a new digital documentary edition. This edition is meant to be a research tool for the exploration of the medieval documents, but at the same time it is a mediator between the manuscript witnesses and existing text-critical editions and translations of the texts. This mediator function is achieved by including markers of lines and chapter of a canonical edition and links to an existing text-critical edition online. In the final section a few examples will briefly be look at that illustrate what kind of analysis will be possible and what visual presentations of the transcriptions will be incorporated in the new edition.

STRETCHING THE BOUNDARIES OF PUBLISHING: THE OPEN WEB PLATFORM AND THE ALTERNATIVES

Author(s): Nicolaie Constantinescu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Today’s scientific practice makes data the first territory for analysis and publishing becomes the rich context for cross referencing and interpretation. Scholarly publishing practices, editing and publishing in general have been shaped by the printing press and later on fashioned by the launch of the scientific journals starting in 1665 with the Philosophical Transactions by the Royal Society. Trends are mounting towards a self-publishing model, let that be under a known editorial label or in a self-sustained environment under university’s press umbrella or by the help of online free existing tools and services. All of the practices lend themselves to one purpose: being indexed, being parsed, mined for data, and emerging as valuable contributions to the field and become relevant. This paper explores some the new tool chains the Open Web Platform offers and some alternatives to be considered in the daily editing workflows. The envelope of the existing technologies is pushed further to step into the future world of deep learning and artificial intelligence. An exploratory tab will be set on the possibilities self-publishing is presenting the researchers in terms of tools and publishing platforms other than the regular channels.

MEDIA ARCHAEOLOGY OF INSTITUTIONAL ARCHIVES?

Author(s): Gábor Palkó / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

In his book entitled What is media archaeology Jussi Parikka suggests that it is possible to outline and develop a ‘hardcore’ media archaeology not only of the hard drive and software but their official use as a database, as information management systems as well. But is it possible at all to give a media archaeological account of the formal-institutional digital media practices, to provide a deep and material media archaeology of, say, a scholarly text archive as TextGrid or Deutsches Textarchiv? In my paper I try to check the ability of Parikka’s argument to answer these questions.

A LOW TE(A)CH APPROACH TO DIGITAL HUMANITIES

Author(s): Liviu Pop / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Technological fatigue is spreading due to the increased arrays of technological branches and the rapid pace of development. Keeping up with the latest and newest might prove not only difficult and tiring, but also not necessarily recommended to beginners in digital humanities. A more “back to the basis” approach might be more useful for students that don’t have technical backgrounds.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA VISUALIZATION: TEACHING ART HISTORY THROUGH TIMELINES

Author(s): Voica Puşcaşiu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

This research wishes to consider the venerable, but relatively marginal use of timelines as means of visualizing coexisting historical events and figures with special emphasis on Art History, a domain where it loses many of its inherent faults and manages to functional. The use of digital tools in humanities research is on the rise, yeilding interesting results as the timelines are now able to take on new forms. The benefits are thus increased and this chronological representation complements the traditional and established method, especially when it comes to teaching a subject that contains such ample amounts of data.

EXIST DB OR SAXON/C IN PHP. A COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO APPROACHES FOR XSLT 2.0 BASED WEBSITES

Author(s): Christian Schwaderer / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

XML and XSLT are very popular technologies among Digital Humanists. However, when it comes to deploying an XSLT 2.0 processor into a website infrastructure some difficulties arrise. This paper discusses two possible approaches for doing XSLT 2.0 transformations on the fly on a Web (Application) Server: Saxon as a PHP extension and Saxon within the popular XML database eXist. The conclusion shows, that both solutions have their pros and cons. In the end, however, the PHP solution wins.

THE DIGITISATION – MEASURING PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL PRESENCE

Author(s): Liana Stanca,Cristina Felea,Ramona Lacurezeanu,Christian Schuster / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The aim of the present study is to create the profile of persons who have become aware of their need to have a specific tool to move intelligently in an urban space. The research is conducted within the frame of smart cities literature and approaches cities from the perspective of the presence of Information and Communication Technologies in all areas of social, economic and political life. In this context, smart people are considered to be persons who use the advantages of technology to obtain information-knowledge and are capable to identify the need of a smart tool to assist them in various domains. A concept map is created that is interpreted as a tool to measure the physical and virtual presence of senior undergraduate students in Economic Informatics in places significant for academic information and knowledge transfer. The authors try to demonstrate the importance of combining data mining and social network analysis methods so as to carry out a complex analysis of the problem and validate by their findings important research by Fortunato, Girvan, Papadopoulos, Adedoyin-Olowe et al.

BRINGING BOSCH ALIVE THROUGH MULTIMEDIA

Author(s): Voica Puşcaşiu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

When one talks about “digital art” there are a great number of very different manifestations that could potentially fall into this category. One of the first things to keep in mind is the fact that as a term “digital art” does not refer to any particular style or aesthetic, thus the great variety. Much rather it is a medium through which artists choose to present their ideas. However as with all things digital, this can take on a lot of different facets, the digital turn has provided not only the opportunity for art archival and dissemination, but also as an extensive creative tool whose only limit lies in the imagination and/or technical skill of the author. To put it simply, digital art can range from works created entirely with the use of a computer and software, to alteration done with the help of the digital medium. It can include appropriation of other classical works that receive new life and meaning through this approach.

Author(s): Valentin Trifescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2017

nțeles în sens larg, fără pretenția unor redefiniri sau reinterpretări teoretice, postmodernismul a avut în spațiul cultural românesc manifestări vizibile mai ales în domeniul literar, muzical ori al artelor vizuale. În ceea ce privește cercetarea științifică din domeniul umanioarelor, puțini au fost cei care au avut vocația sau curajul de a fi contemporani-cu-epoca-lor în stil dar și în conținut. Cu alte cuvinte, cercetarea științifică românească a rămas cantonată în vechile tipare metodologice, tematice și stilistice, păstrând „toți nasturii închiși la cămașă” și constrângerea unei cravate deja demult demodate, purtate pe post de marcă a seriozității academice. Cu toate acestea, câțiva cercetători cu o deschidere interdisciplinară mai amplă – asemenea unor temerari experimentatori ai „stilului neastâmpărat” în cercetare sau a unora care știu-să-se-joace-serios și să facă din actul lecturii academice o plăcere nu numai pentru creier, dar și pentru urechi sau ochi, cum sunt (pentru a intra în logica lui Trei ) clujeanul François Bréda, sibianul Gheorghe Manolache ori bucureșteanul Bogdan Ghiu – au abordat subiecte marginale ori metisate într-o scriitură cu certe valori estetice, nefăcând rabat, în același timp, de la rigorile științifice. Importantă pentru acești cercetători a fost realizarea unor texte polivalente, structurate pe mai multe paliere de înțelegere, cu trimiteri mereu subversive „pour les connaisseurs”, dar care, nu în ultimul rând, trebuie să producă plăcere. De cele mai multe ori, tehnica (de codare) folosită pentru lansarea mesajului ideatic apelează la: jocuri de cuvinte, întreruperi, pauze, puncte de suspensie, paranteze, slashuri, sublinieri, ruperi de ritm, fragmente, aluzii, linkuri, travestiuri, mixaje, combinații neașteptate ori kitschuri de toate felurile (de limbaj, bibliografic, tematic, discursiv etc.).
