The Humanist Discussion Group, today (Vol. 14, No. 86), includes
praise for an informal report on an interesting colloquium on
humanities computing, held at Kings College, London earlier this
year. The colloquium asked how best to =22conceptualise the application of
computing to the humanities=22 and where to look for the most helpful =
models.

As the commentator notes, the colloquium's course shifted =22from the
problem of machines dealing with ambiguity through to the
collaborative mysteries of community via the tension between
formalization and deformation.=22

Speakers at the May 13, 2000, colloquium were the following:

=2A Tito Orlandi, (Rome) =22Ideas for a Theoretical Foundation of
Humanities Computing=22

=2A Harry Collins,(Cardiff) =22Formalising humanities or unformalising =
science?=22

=2A Hasok Chang, (London) =22What philosophy tells us about experimental =
science=22

=2A Jerome McGann, (Virginia) =22Dialogue and Interpretation at the
Interface of Man and Machine. Reflections on Textuality and a
Proposal for an Experiment in Machine Reading.=22

=2A John Unsworth, (Virginia) =22Scholarly Primitives: what methods do
humanities researchers have in common, and how might our tools
reflect this?=22
