Digitising Patterns of Power
Newsletter No.2 / May 2018
|
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Colleagues,
We do hope that our new DPP Newsletter finds you well. Due to legal regulations of the European Union on privacy issues and personal data, which will come into power on 25 May 2018, we are sending our DPP Newsletter to you before this very date.
At the same time we are also sending a separate e-mail (apart from this Newsletter) to all of you, in which we are asking for your active consent,
if you would like to continue receiving our DPP Newsletter after 25 May 2018, i.e. in the future. Such a step and decision needs your active consent
according to the new regulations. We do hope that you will continue to follow and share our endeavours in Digital Humanities.

As PI of the Digital Cluster Project DPP, I would like to announce that the DPP Newsletter will continue to be sent to our readers also after the successful completion of DPP in January 2019. It will bear a new name, the HistGeo Newsletter, and will be published by the Long-Term-Project Tabula Imperii Byzantini (TIB)" at the Austrian Academy of Sciences three times a year as contribution to the field of Digital Humanities and GIScience in Historical Geography and in symphony with the work of the Commission for the Historical Geography and Spatial Analysis of Byzantium of the Association Internationale des Etudes Byzantines (AIEB).
As DPP team we are very much looking forward to participating with three sessions at the International Medieval Congress (IMC) in Leeds in 2018. Moreover, we will organise a DPP Lecture on 11 June 2018 in Vienna. In May 2018 we were visited by the Professors Toni Filiposki and Boban Petrovski within the framework of the project "The Ethnonym of the Vlachs in the Written Sources and the Toponymy in the Historical Region of Macedonia".
We wish you in advance a pleasent and nice summer and do hope to meet at least some of you in Leeds.
Yours sincerely,
the DPP team

DPP at the IMC in Leeds 2018
|
At the International Medieval Congress (IMC) in Leeds (2-5 July 2018) our project DPP will cooperate on the one hand with two colleagues, namely Javier Castiñeiras López and Mariña Bermúdez Beloso, who are experts in History, History of Art and Digital Humanities, from the University of Santiago de Compostela and on the other hand with two other scholarly projects of the PI Mihailo Popović.
The first scholarly project, which is represented in session No. 640 (3 July 2018, 11.15-12.45), is FWF Austrian Science Fund Project P 30384-G28. It is entitled "Byzantino-Serbian Border Zones in Transition (1282-1355)". The project’s two scholarly co-workers, Vratislav Zervan and Bernhard Koschicek, and the PI Mihailo Popović will introduce the aims and the first scholarly results of the project to the audience. It has begun in October 2017 at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and has a duration of four years.

News on the Project
"The Ethnonym of the Vlachs"
|
Within the framework of the joint scholarly project entitled "The Ethnonym of the Vlachs in the Written Sources and the Toponymy in the Historical Region of Macedonia" the Professors Dr. Toni Filiposki and Dr. Boban Petrovski (both "Ss. Cyril and Methodius" University, Department of History, Skopje) stayed from 6 May until 13 May 2018 in Vienna, where they did research in the libraries of the University of Vienna as well as the Austrian Academy of Sciences and undertook consultations on scholarly issues with the Austrian project team in Vienna.
The project’s scholarly co-worker Jelena Nikić, BA has continued to input project-related data, which was researched by Nikola Minov, Boban Gjorgjievski and Vladimir Kuhar from the "Ss. Cyril and Methodius" University, into the DPP OpenAtlas Database.

At the same time the Team Department of Geography and Regional Research (University of Vienna) has implemented the Case Study "The Ethnonym of the Vlachs" into the map-based online application (DPP Mapviewer), which will enable the users to query the data of this project online at the end of DPP in January 2019.
In June 2018 Mihailo Popović as the Austrian project leader and David Schmid, BA as scholarly co-worker will travel to Skopje in order to conduct research on the interplay between the resident population and the nomads (i.e. the Vlachs) in the historical region of Macedonia from the 11th to the 16th century based on archival material as well as the published bibliography in the archives and libraries and based on surveys in situ.

The Second DPP Lecture of 2018
|
The second DPP Lecture of the year 2018 will take place on Monday, 11 June 2018. Mag. Dr. Elisabeth Nowotny (Institut für Museale Sammlungswissenschaften, Donau-Universität Krems, Austria) will speak on "Manifestation von Macht – Am Beispiel des Bestattungsplatzes des frühmittelalterlichen Zentralortes von Thunau". The archaeological evidence located on an elevation called Schanzberg in the north of Lower Austria will be presented and analysed. Excavations have been undertaken in situ since the year 1965. The acquired evidence indicates that this very location was a central place in the Early Middle Ages in the triangle Frankish Empire, Moravia and Bohemia. Mrs. Nowotny will present data deriving from a burial ground and its social aspects to the audience. The organisation of this fascinating lecture was accomplished by Mag. Dr. Stefan Eichert based on his scholarly project "Die March-Thaya Region vom Früh- zum Hochmittelalter".
