    Digital Publishing in the Arts and Humanities
    (Ohio State University. Humanities Institute, 2012-11-20) Schlosser, Melanie; Selfe, Cynthia; Carlson, Wayne
    On Tuesday, November 20, 2012 from 3:00-4:30 pm in 165 Thompson Library, the Humanities Institute and the Digital Arts and Humanities Working Group hosted a panel discussion on "Digital Publishing in the Arts and Humanities." Panelists Melanie Schlosser (The Ohio State University Libraries), Cynthia Selfe (The Ohio State University, Department of English), and Wayne Carlson (The Ohio State University, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies and Dean of Undergraduate Education) explored ways in which publishing is changing in the arts and humanities, and led a discussion on the opportunities and pitfalls inherent in the world of digital publishing. The digital environment has enabled exciting new forms of scholarship, and made it possible to communicate and collaborate more openly and effectively. It also poses significant challenges for the traditional, print-based publishing ecosystem, and for those responsible for evaluating scholarship – including promotion and tenure committees. Panelists explored these issues with a diverse audience of OSU faculty and staff.

    Visualizing "Big Data" in the Arts and Humanities
    (Ohio State University. Humanities Institute, 2012-09-26) Labov, Jessie; Staley, David J., 1963-; Ulman, H. Lewis
    Panelists David Staley (Associate Professor, The Ohio State University Department of History), Jessie Labov (Assistant Professor, The Ohio State University Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures), and H. Lewis Ulman (Associate Professor, The Ohio State University Department of English) explored the place of data visualization as a form of humanities scholarship, with visualization as the hermeneutic act that allows humanists to read "big data." The panel described the concept of a Humanities Visualization Studio at The Ohio State University to conduct such humanistic readings of big data. Questions centered around defining "big data" in the context of the humanities, how humanists read big data, how our interests and goals with reading big data differ from that of scientists, and how visualization and visual hermeneutics is critical to the effort to read that data. As we read our texts, humanists seek not better models or predictive certainty, but rather patterns of interpretive insight. Reading big data is an occasion for humanists to assert our approach to knowledge: to champion the value of meaning, interpretation and insight in contrast to the logic of scientific prediction and control.
