“…The current academic climate demands public engagement and accountability. The ETCL is committed to these ideals by exploring social knowledge creation in both theory and practice, as evinced in the initiatives discussed above and published work by ETCL researchers (see Arbuckle et al 2014;Arbuckle and Christie 2015;Crompton, Powell, Arbuckle, Siemens, et al 2015;Siemens et al 2010;Siemens, Crompton, Armstrong et al 2012;Siemens, Timney, Leitch et al 2012a;Siemens, Timney, Leitch et al 2012b). Broad research scans will continue in the ETCL as trends and norms develop and change.…”

Social knowledge creation, citizen scholarship, interdisciplinary collaborations, and university-community partnerships have become more common and more visible in contemporary academia. The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL) currently focuses on how to engage with such transformations in knowledge creation. In this paper we survey the intellectual foundation of social knowledge creation and major initiatives undertaken to pursue and enact this research in the ETCL.

“…e DMSEG has engaged in iterative development, creating the Social Edition of the Devonshire Manuscript in Wikibooks, seeking direction from the advisory group to work out the best ways to meet the needs of the community of Early Modern and Renaissance scholars that the group represents (Siemens et al, 2012). e advisory group applauded both the content and uptake of the Social Edition of the Devonshire Manuscript in Wikibooks, but expressed reservations about both the mutability of the text and, for scholars outside of the Digital Humanities, the participation barrier created by having to learn to write wikicode in order to contribute to the edition.…”

This article draws on the Social Edition of the Devonshire Manuscript’s RDFa encoding practice as a case study of how to formalize statements about entities on the Web in a way that is machine-parsable. RDFa encoding allows machines to become collaborators with human readers in the discovery of new connections between entities (people, places, and events) even between websites. The edition’s encoding is motivated by the INKE Modelling and Prototyping team’s guiding research question about the implications and impact of real-time applications in relation to traditionally static knowledge objects. The authors argue for the value of bringing texts into communication with other texts, through RDFa, allowing virtual collaboration even when the scholars behind the projects do not know one another.

This Handbook is a research-based book that attempts to define the field, and to gesture towards future configurations in the light of developments over the past thirty years. The Handbook will build on and complement existing overviews of early modern women’s writing but will have a more conceptual and theoretical focus in addition to extending historical and critical work. It will also integrate the disciplinary challenges raised by early modern women’s writing more fully into critical work on the Renaissance—again, this differentiates this work from other wide-ranging volumes on the topic. It seeks, through a range of approaches, to ask larger questions about women’s writing and its relationship(s) to writing and culture more generally. Implicitly it questions the category of ‘women’s’ writing, by examining how far gender and constructions of gender inflect authorship, reception, and style, and how we can integrate provisional and partial identifications into our understanding of early modern women’s discourse. We are keen to integrate intersectionality into the analysis of early modern women’s writing, focusing on a range of key issues—region, class, race, ethnic identity, marital status, profession, language. In particular, the chapters will interrogate the degree to which women’s writings and their innovations in fact spearhead a number of key developments in thought and writing over the course of the seventeenth century. The emphasis throughout is on innovation as a response to specific cultural, ideological and sometimes very local conditions.
