This document follows up the release of the recommendation of the Consortium 3D for the Humanities available in open access on the HAL platform in 2018. These first recommendations were mostly included into the guide “Guide pour la rédaction d’un cahier des charges de numérisation en 3D” published by the French Ministry of Culture in the context of the National program to digitize and to valorize cultural content.

International audience; In open access: https://classics-at.chs.harvard.edu/volume/classics18-ancient-manuscripts-and-virtual-research-environments/This volume of Classics@ explores and analyses a methodological turn in ancient studies: the practice of presenting harvested data in ancient manuscripts within virtual research environments (VREs). What changes when research on ancient manuscripts occurs in a VRE, especially in early Jewish and Christian literature, New Testament, and Classical works? Does it matter if we undertake research in a digital medium rather than in a traditional print context? How does working with digital images and born-digital data intersect with the traditional print mentalities that have until recently defined philological research? Because VREs offer wide and usually free access to diverse information regardless of one’s geographical location, they continue to have an outsized influence on the research landscape of the humanities in more complex ways.

In Europe, most of today’s courthouses are symbolically silent. Because Justice not only needs to be done but also needs to be seen to be done, this project intends to exemplify the claim that images of justice have an important role to play in the maintenance of social bonds. The power of judicial images is a useful ally to revive the foundational principles of fair trial and due process. Drawing inspiration from visual studies, cultural legal history, legal anthropology, this multidisciplinary investigation aims at revealing the essential dynamic function of a civic allegory: its composition or invention, its role into the dissemination of meaning and the ways in which it was perceived by different audiences, in order to question to which extent this device fulfilled didactic, persuasive, mnemonic, evidential, or deontological functions.

Au sortir de la seconde guerre mondiale, la disqualification du racialisme scientifique s'est traduite par un abandon du concept de race dans de nombreux pays. Son usage dans les sciences sociales suscite de nombeux débats, notamment depuis le développement des recherches sur le racisme et les progrès en génétique humaine. À cette littérature revisitée le dossier apporte sa contribution en posant une question inédite : comment les organisations internationales, prises dans des injonctions contradictoires et des pratiques nationales contrastées, gèrent-elles la question raciale ? Les auteur·es retracent les « petits arrangements » de ces organisations dans la prise en compte de la race, de l’après-guerre à nos jours. Chaque moment historique se prête à des bricolages. Les logiques institutionnelles, de coopération ou de rivalité, pèsent également. L’attention portée aux archives ainsi qu’aux acteurs et actrices permet de mettre en lumière les impensés, les figures imposées, les tractations et les accords de circonstances.

LE STUDIUM Multidisciplinary Journal. This is the final version of the article, which has been published in final form at http://www.lestudium-ias.com/content/citations-renaissance-imitation-mass-crim; Building upon recent developments in digital music scholarship, Citations: The Renaissance Imitation Mass investigates similarity and borrowing in music on a massive but detailed scale, using digital tools that only a few years ago were beyond our grasp. Our work focuses on the craft of musical counterpoint, and how musicians of the sixteenth century transformed pre-existing pieces to make intricate cyclic compositions from familiar sounds. The CRIM team, an accomplished group of scholars and data scientists active in Europe, North America, and Australia, will assemble a diverse collaborative network of music scholars and students at colleges, music schools and university graduate programs, extending the reach of digital scholarship to new users, and building new communities.

Published in Zenodo; Si discute dell’incendio che devastò Torino nel 69 d.C. Nella città erano stati acquartierati i Batavi e la Legione XIV. Dopo una lite sorta tra i soldati, Vitellio ordinò alla legione di lasciare la città. La notte che la legione partì, i fuochi dei bivacchi lasciati accesi provocarono l’incendio. In questo articolo vi mostro come la vicenda è stata riportata in letteratura, travisando il testo di Tacito che narra l’accaduto, per dar la colpa ai Batavi.

LE STUDIUM Multidisciplinary Journal. This is the final version of the article, which has been published in final form at : http://www.lestudium-ias.com/content/art-and-city-urban-space-art-and-social-movements-0; The proliferation of visual practices, engagements, and tactics on the streets and plazas of the cities connect art to the political constitution of local struggles on the one hand, and the global grassroots politics of the social movements, on the other. This project investigates the ideologies, relationships, meanings and practices that arise from the diverse interactions among the three social spheres: urban space, art, and social movements. In an innovative and multidisciplinary fashion, it addresses the pressing question in humanities and social sciences : How does art, as a cultural form, partake in contemporary urban transformations and social struggle ?
