Programme of the Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin 2015/16

Dear Colleagues,

we are delighted to announce that the final programme for this year's Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin is now online. You can find it at <http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/seminar2015> and at the bottom of this email.

The seminar series will start on Oct. 13 with a talk on "Thematic features for intertextual analysis" by Chris Forstall and Lavinia Galli Milić. This year's keynote lecture, entitled "Digital Philology, World Literature, and sustainable Global Culture", will be given by Prof. Gregory Crane on Oct. 27 in the Wiegandhaus of the DAI.

Seminars take place on Tuesdays (starting at 17:00 c.t.) on a fortnightly basis at the TOPOI building Dahlem or at the DAI.

We would also like to draw your attention to the possibility for students to attend the seminar as part of their curriculum. The seminar is now part of the academic programme of the Freie Universität under the name “Digitale Methoden in den Altertumswissenschaften” (see the FU’s course catalog <http://www.fu-berlin.de/vv/de/lv/236717?sm=181709>). 

The seminar is recognised with 5 credit points (ECTS): this requires the attendance of the seminars and a 15 minute poster presentation on one of the topics covered by the seminar series. The poster presentations can be either in English or German and will take place after the end of the seminars on 19.04.2016 in the TOPOI building Dahlem.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Matteo Romanello

on behalf of the organising committee
