Perspectives interdisciplinaires et méthodologiques pour l’étude de l’animal dans l’Antiquité et au Moyen-Age

Programme

Les recherches menées au sujet des animaux non humains ont connu récemment un vif regain d’intérêt, et se sont déployées sur des approches variées. En laissant de côté une distinction trop rigide et artificielle entre, d’une part, animaux conçus uniquement comme ressources économiques et, d’autre part, comme supports symboliques “bons à penser” dans toutes les directions, de nouvelles perspective ont été ouvertes dans les dernières décennies. De l’étude des folksonomies zoologiques [Guasparri 2004, Li Causi 2003, Zucker 2005] aux enquêtes ciblées pour identifier la place de certaines espèces dans l’encyclopédie culturelle ancienne [Bettini 1998, Bodson 1978, Detienne-Vernant 1979, Franco 2003, Trinquier 2004, Voisenet 2000] la recherche anthropo-zoologique issue des disciplines historiques et philologiques a intégré certains acquis d’autres branches scientifiques comme l’écologie cognitive, l’anthropologie culturelle, la sémiologie, les Human-Animal Studies et les Critical Studies.

Programme

Les textes ayant joué un rôle de premier plan dans la diffusion médiévale des savoirs se caractérisent souvent par une tradition manuscrite vaste et complexe qui reflète aussi bien leur succès que des habitudes de lecture différentes selon les époques et les milieux. Face à ces traditions textuelles abondantes, le philologue est nécessairement confronté au problème du classement des témoins, ou au moins de l’étude des grandes lignes de l’histoire du texte, préalable indispensable à tout travail d’édition ou même de réflexion sur le texte. Si la méthode « manuelle » de construction des stemmas, issue de la philologie du XIXe siècle, conserve sa valeur heuristique, elle se heurte souvent, dans le cas de ces traditions, à l’abondance des témoins (dont la liste est fréquemment complétée par de nouvelles découvertes) et aux phénomènes de contamination. Alors que des méthodes nouvelles, assistées par une approche numérique, ont été développées depuis une quinzaine d’années, il est intéressant de réunir des spécialistes d’édition de textes latins à tradition manuscrite dense et complexe et de chercheurs en humanités numériques et stemmatologie pour faire le point sur les outils que ces nouvelles méthodes peuvent apporter dans le domaine de l’ecdotique de ce type de textes: comment ces outils permettent-ils de mieux classer les témoins, de mieux orienter le chercheur travaillant sur leur histoire, ou encore de faciliter la présentation d’une édition conservant un maximum d’éléments liés à la spécificité des différents témoins ? Nous souhaitons par cette journée d’étude discuter des méthodes et des perspectives ouvertes par (1) les outils et les programmes de confrontation textuelle et de calculs de distances, et (2) les modèles de visualisation et de représentation des relations inter-manuscrites (dendrogrammes, arbres phylogénétiques, cardiogrammes, etc), ainsi que (3) des implications de ces nouvelles approches sur les règles d’encodage des textes en XML-TEI.
The texts which have played a leading role in the medieval diffusion of knowledge are often characterized by extensive and complex manuscript tradition that reflects both their success as different reading habits according to the times and environments. Faced with these abundant textual traditions, the philologist needs to address the problem of classification of witnesses, or at least must study the outline of the history of the text, as a prerequisite to any editing work or even to correctly assess the text. If the «manual» method of constructing stemmas, elaborated by the philologists of the nineteenth century, retains its heuristic value, it often comes up in the case of these traditions against the abundance of witnesses (the list being besides frequently supplemented by new discoveries) and contamination phenomena. While new methods, aided by a digital approach, have been developed over the past fifteen years, it is interesting to bring together specialists editing Latin texts characterized by dense and complex manuscript tradition and researchers in digital humanities and stemmatology in order to review the tools that these new methods can bring to improve the edition of such texts and the understanding of their manuscript tradition: how do these tools help better classify witnesses, orientate the researcher working on them, or facilitate a text display capturing in the edition the major elements linked to the specificity of the different witnesses? In this workshop we aim at discussing methods and perspectives opened by (1) the tools and programs for textual confrontation and document distance calculations, (2) visualization and representation templates of inter-relationships handwritten (dendrograms, phylogenetic trees, cardiograms, etc.) and (3) the implications of these new approaches to encoding rules text in XML-TEI.

SW4SH 2016 will be held in conjunction with the 13th ESWC 2016 Conference which takes place between 29th May and 2nd June in Heraklion, Crete, Greece.
SW4SH 2016 is a continuation of the SW4SH workshop series initiated at ESWC 2015 which aims to provide a leading international and interdisciplinary forum for disseminating the latest research in the field of Semantic Web for the preservation and exploitation of our scientific heritage, the study of the history of ideas and their transmission.

Classicists and historians are interested in developing textual databases, in order to gather and explore large amounts of primary source materials. For a long time, they mainly focused on text digitization and markup. They only recently decided to try to explore the possibility of transferring some analytical processes they previously thought incompatible with automation to knowledge engineering systems, thus taking advantage of the growing set of tools and techniques based on the languages and standards of the semantic Web, such as linked data, ontologies, and automated reasoning. The iconographic data, which are also relevant in history of science and arise similar problematic could be addressed as well and offer suggestive insights for a global methodology for diverse media.

On the other hand, Semantic Web researchers are willing to take up more ambitious challenges than those arising in the native context of the Web in terms of anthropological complexity, addressing meta-semantic problems of flexible, pluralist or evolutionary ontologies, sources heterogeneity, hermeneutic and rhetoric dimensions. Thus the opportunity for a fruitful encounter of knowledge engineers with computer-savvy historians and classicists has come. This encounter may be inscribed within the more general context of digital humanities, a research area at the intersection of computing and the humanities disciplines which is gaining an ever-increasing momentum and where the Linked Open Data is playing an increasingly prominent role.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion about the methodological approaches to the specificity of annotating “scientific” texts (in the wide sense of the term, including disciplines such as history, architecture, or rhetoric), and to support a collaborative reflection, on possible guidelines or specific models for building historical ontologies. The iconographic data, which are also relevant in history of science and arise similar problematic could be addressed as well and offer suggestive insights for a global methodology for diverse media. A key goal of the workshop, focusing on research issues related to pre-modern scientific texts, is to emphasize, through precise projects and up-to-date investigation in digital humanities, the benefit of a multidisciplinary research to create and operate on relevantly structured data. One of the main interests of the very topic of pre-modern historical data management lies in historical semantics, and the opportunity to jointly consider how to identify and express lexical, theoretical and material evolutions. Dealing with historical texts, a major problem is indeed to handle the discrepancy of the historical terminology compared to the modern one, and, in the case of massive, diachronic data, to take into account the contextual and theoretical meaning of terms and segments of texts and their semantics.
