Zotero

Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 6o
FromWikipedia
•Zotero is free and open-source reference
management software to manage
bibliographic data and related research
materials.
•The name Zotero is loosely derived from
an Albanian verb meaning to master.
•Zotero was developed by Center for
History and New Media (CHNM) at
George Mason University (GMU)

FromWikipedia
•On many websites such as library
catalogs, PubMed, Google Scholar,
Google Books, Amazon.com, Wikipedia,
and publisher’s websites, Zotero shows
an icon when a book, article, or other
resource is being viewed. By clicking this
icon, the full reference information can
be saved to the Zotero library.

FromWikipedia
•Zotero users can generate citations and
bibliographies through word processor
plugins, or directly in Zotero, using
Citation Style Language styles. Zotero
allows users to create their own
customized citation style.

FromWikipedia
• In 2008, Thomson Reuters sued the
Commonwealth of Virginia and George
Mason University, based on the claim
that Zotero’s developers had, in
violation of the EndNote EULA,
reverse-engineered EndNote and
provided Zotero with the ability to
convert EndNote’s proprietary .ens styles
into Citation Style Language styles

The narrative crisis
•20th century culture was built onnarration. Ex :•War is not a crisis but a path towards liberation
•Democraty is not a mode of governance it is force
to free humanity
•Apple does not sell computer and phones, it the
story of two men with a vision : Giving power to
the creative people
• the Y2K millenium bug was the last
great narration.

The narrative crisis
•Narration has become more complex
over time.
•TV series are much more complex than
before.
•This has been measure by a group of
DH101 student last year

Infinite stories
•A transformation of story arcs
•ex 1 : Grey’s anatomy and the
neverending story.
•ex 2 : World of Warcraft and
personalized narration

Time as a variable
•ex 1 : CSI and spatiotemporal puzzles
•ex 2 : Lost and multiple temporal
threads
•ex 3 : Heroes and time as a narrative
variable
• Infinite stories in four dimensions

The central scientific challenge of the project isqualifying, quantifying and representing uncertainty andinconsistency at each step of this process.
my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 84o
How can we detect and correct inconsistencies ? How canwe represent uncertainty ?

(1) Such kind of projects needs an ethics ofrepresentation. An ethics of representation imposes acertain level of formalism.
my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 86o
(2) Aligning different data sets also imposes an additionallevel of formalism. There is a need for semanticframework capable of coding historical information andmeta-historical information.
my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 87o
(3) Eventually, with simulation, algorithms tend to play abigger role in historical debates.
my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 88o
These three evolutions create a shift in historicalpractices, introducing algorithms as new mediators.

How should we communicate this new research to a largeaudience ? Venice with its 30 million visitors / year is oneof the best place to imagine the museum of the future.

my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 95o
Is research in the Humanities about to undergo anevolution similar to what happened to life sciences 30years ago ?
my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 96o
This evolution is characterized by projects at a new scale,beyond what any single research team can do.
my header
Digital Humanities 101 - 2013/2014 - Course 3 | 2013 97o
We need to foster a new generation of Digital Humanistsready for this shift.
