CALL FOR PAPERS
2009 ASGLE Joint AIA/APA
Panel
Philadelphia, PA, January 8-11 2009
The Publication and Study of
Inscriptions in the Age of the Computer
Organized by Paul Iversen and Tom
Elliott
The computer age has unleashed powerful new technologies that
enhance the study of Greek and Latin inscriptions, yet most scholars,
academic institutions and publishing houses are still not comfortable
with the idea of publishing inscriptions in a form that takes full
advantage of the new possibilities. The Society, therefore, welcomes
papers that discuss current or possible future computer-enhanced
initiatives in the areas of Greek and Latin Epigraphy. We are
particularly interested in papers that discuss theoretical applications
of new technologies to the field of epigraphy and the formulation of
international standards and protocols of publication and institutional
credit, especially digital projects that go well beyond the mere
encoding of the appearance of epigraphical sigla and indicia (which is
akin to putting old wine into new wineskins) to include the en-coding of
semantic and/or observational distinctions.
Abstracts will be
adjudicated anonymously by a committee of ASGLE
and should not be longer
than one page. Please follow the instructions
for the format of individual
abstracts that will appear in the October
issue of the APA Newsletter.
Abstracts should be sent to: Paul A.
Iversen, ASGLE
Secretary-Treasurer, Department of Classics, Case Western
Reserve
University, 11201 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106-7111 or
paul.iversen
(at) cwru.edu. The deadline is February 1, 2008.
Please feel free to
forward this announcement to others.
