This year’s series of Digital Humanities Afternoons will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 25 in Love Library, Peterson Room. The afternoons will feature a new lineup of discussions dedicated to supporting and celebrating digital humanities work being completed by students, staff and faculty on campus.
During the talk, Laura Weakly, metadata encoding specialist in the University Libraries, will talk about the interesting finds and challenges that can be encountered when trying to encode correspondence in “All that Glitters Will Not Be Encoded: Fun Finds and Fiction in Historical Correspondence.”
Professors Brian Pytlik Zillig, digital initiatives librarian, and Stephen Ramsay, Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor of English, will also present at the event. Pytlik Zillig and Ramsay will discuss “Muybridge I,” a collaborative art installation involving animation by both speakers. The work originates in the photography of Eadweard Muybridge, Victorian photographer and author of the seminal “The Human Figure in Motion” published in 1887.
