Come on #MultilingualDH folks, what are you waiting for?

You want to use a #StaticSiteGenerator and need to support #multilingual sites? It’s now easier than ever! For quite a while, #Pelican had a great plugin for that use case. Now I helped migrate it to the new plugin format, which means that it can easily be installed from #PyPI. https://github.com/pelican-plugins/i18n-subsites #MultilingualDH #MinimalComputing

Wir haben das Treffen der AG #MultilingualDH übrigens ausgelagert: Hoffend, dass die MV nicht überzieht, treffen wir uns um 19:00 bei Naane in Bielefeld City (vegan stuff available). Wer Lust hat, sich mit uns auszutauschen, Kekse, Bier und Hafermilch zu konsumieren, oder einfach das Bielefelder Nochnichtsoganznachtleben kennenzulernen, kann gern dazustoßen. Wir haben bestimmt auch ne Reisegruppe nach der MV beim AG-Poster zwischen C und D (glaub ich). #DHd2025

"Wer ist nicht dabei" ist übrigens ein Thema, das wir immer und immer wieder diskutieren: Man erinnere sich an die Karte der letzten #DH in Graz. Da sind viele nicht dabei. Und auch in DE sehen sich große Teile der #multilingualDH Community noch nicht angesprochen oder vertreten durch den @DHd. Das wollen wir in der AG @mldh ändern und den Verband inklusiver machen. #DHd2025
Ich stelle mich dieses Jahr für den @DHd Vorstand zur Wahl. Ich vertrete da Themen wie #MultilingualDH oder #DHBib, will mich aber für noch ein weiteres Thema stark machen: Ich finde, dass Wissenschaft deutlich politischer werden muss angesichts der politischen Gesamtlage. Ob Prekariat, Hierarchien, Gatekeeping, reaktionäre Kulturkämpfe, Themen wie #SafeguardingResearch… Gerade der @DHd kann und sollte helfen, betroffene Forscher:innen/Forschung als Supportnetzwerk zu unterstützen. #Dhd2025
Anlässlich der @DHdKonferenz versuchen wir's mal mit einer Reaktivierung des AG-Accounts. Kein Versprechen, dass das jetzt dauerhaft funktioniert. Ansonsten gern auch den Convenors folgen für engmaschigere Konferenzbegleitung:

Call for Papers: International Conference on “#Metaphors of #Religion” October 27–29, 2025, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.
This conference hosted by @sfb1475 invites scholars from different fields to discuss #metaphor research (including computational approaches) in a comparative perspective. Confirmed keynote speakers are Eve Sweetser and Gerard Steen. Submission deadline: February 28, 2025 #DigitalHumanities #MultilingualDH #ReligiousStudies https://sfb1475.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/en/news/article/international-conference-on-metaphors-of-religion-october-2729-2025-ruhr-university-bochum-germany/ 
sfb1475.ruhr-uni-bochum.deInternational Conference on "Metaphors of Religion" October 27–29, 2025 | Ruhr University Bochum, GermanyThe Collaborative Research Center 1475 (CRC 1475) at Ruhr University Bochum invites submissions for its International Conference on “Metaphors of Religion: Comparative Perspectives, Theoretical Potential, and Methodic Innovation”, to be held October 27–29th, 2025.
This interdisciplinary conference will explore the critical role of metaphors in shaping religious meaning across traditions, texts, and contexts. With contributions from diverse disciplines, the event aims to foster innovative discussions on how metaphors function as foundational elements in religious language.
Keynote Speakers
Eve Sweetser (University of California, Berkeley)
Gerard Steen (University of Amsterdam)
Key Topics and Questions
We welcome submissions on themes that engage with, but are not limited to, the following topics:
Religious Metaphor and Meaning-Making: What role do metaphors play in the emergence of religious language? How is metaphor connected to notions such as ‘holy languages?’
Comparative Metaphor Studies: How do different religious traditions (e.g., Buddhism, Christianity, Daoism, Islam, Zoroastrianism) utilize similar or divergent metaphors to address themes of salvation, conduct of life, or imaginaries of the divine? For example, to what extent do we find metaphors of Light, Way, or the Human Body across different traditions?
Cognitive (and) Linguistic Approaches to Religious Metaphor: How do cognitive linguistic theories of metaphor (e.g., mapping and blending theories) illuminate the unique challenges of religious language?
Historical and Cultural Shifts in Religious Metaphors: What historical and, in particular, interreligious factors shape the development and transformation of specific religious metaphors? How do metaphors adapt or reconfigure in response to cross-cultural encounters?
Digital and Computational Approaches to Metaphor Analysis: Which new methods can be employed to analyze religious metaphors at scale, particularly across languages and cultures? How can digital humanities tools enhance our understanding of metaphor in religious contexts?
Materiality and Visuality in Metaphors: How do metaphors extend beyond language to religious artifacts, images, and other media? What are the methodological challenges in analyzing metaphors in non-verbal religious contexts?
Submission Guidelines
We invite contributions across a range of disciplines including religious studies, linguistics, area studies, philologies, sociology, anthropology, digital humanities, and beyond, to engage in a comprehensive dialogue on the role and impact of metaphor in religion. We invite proposals for the following formats:
Individual Papers: Please submit a 300–400-word abstract detailing your research question, methodology, and anticipated findings.
Panels: Organized panels with 3–4 presentations centered on a cohesive theme. Panel proposals should include an overview (300 words) and abstracts for each paper (300–400 words).
Roundtable Discussions: Proposals for roundtable sessions should outline the central theme, key questions, and expected contributions (300–400 words).
Submit your Proposal
Submissions are due 28 February 2025, and should include:
Title of the paper, panel, or roundtable discussion
Author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), and contact information
Abstracts (300-400 words as specified above)
Send your submissions to: sfb1475-coordination@rub.de

I am happy to report that Central European University has joined
@atclariah consortium (as observer for now) to become a more integral part of the vibrant Austrian DH community. As CEU's delegate, it was my pleasure to attend the consortium meeting (in German!) which also featured my first German talk! #multilingualdh

Continued thread
I finally managed to write up some of the thoughts that went into contributing the bibliographic information on Arabic periodicals and their known holdings to #Wikidata. I have published a preprint to Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/14112648. Feel free to share and to comment under this post.
ZenodoAdding Every Arabic Periodical Published Before 1930 to Wikidata: Moving the Scholarly Crowd-Sourcing Project Jarāʾid to the Digital CommonsThis paper documents the contribution of comprehensive bibliographic data on all Arabic periodicals published worldwide until 1930 to Wikidata. We discuss the need for such a data set, which originated with scholarly crowd-sourcing project Jarāʾid and comprises information on more than 3000 periodicals, about 2700 editors, and almost 350 holding institutions, the weaknesses of our original approach, and how the move to Wikidata, the largest public and open knowledge graph, addresses them. We demonstrate how Wikidata also satisfies the two predominant use cases of this data set not currently served by available library and discovery systems. Finally, we show how the move to Wikidata generates continuous engagement with wider Wikimedia communities and demonstrate the reusability of our approach with a second data set of periodicals from the Ottoman Empire.

New paper out: In “Annotating Metaphorical Mappings: An Implementation of Steen’s Five Step Method,” Stefanie Dipper and I explain how we use complex #Annotation to capture the conceptual structure of a #Metaphor and also document the researcher’s underlying assumptions. This is the core shared methodology in our @sfb1475 “#Metaphors of #Religion.” https://doi.org/10.46586/mp.258 #DigitalHumanities #MultilingualDH #ReligiousStudies

Keine attraktive Stelle von den Bedingungen her, aber ich mache für das Projekt eine Ausnahme vom "Keine befristeten Stellen bewerben", weil zufällig von mir mitbetreut.
Also falls jemand 'ne #PostDoc Zwischenfinanzierung braucht bis Mitte 2026, ein großartiges Team und viel Spielraum zum experimentieren sucht und Lust hat, wissenschaftliche Praktiken und Infrastrukturen zu untersuchen und zu kritisieren, here is your chance:
