Jewish Studies is – and has been since Leopold Zunz’ Etwas über die rabbinische Literatur – a multi-disciplinary field that brings together scholars, topics and methods from across many academic disciplines. Additionally, Jewish Studies scholars are often involved in multi-disciplinary networks, cooperating and communicating with colleagues from a wide variety of fields. At the same time, research into Jewish history, culture, languages and the like is not limited to Jewish Studies departments, creating yet wider networks and even greater diversity.
The twelfth EAJS congress, “Branching Out. Diversity of Jewish Studies”, taking place in Frankfurt/Main (Germany) on 16-20 July 2023, will showcase the diversity that is an integral part of Jewish Studies: research topics that range from the Bible and ancient history to contemporary Jewish thought and culture, a multitude of different sources from all over the world, methods and approaches from archaeology to digital humanities, and a vast array of interdisciplinary networks and research approaches.
At the 12th EAJS Congress “Branching Out. Diversity of Jewish Studies", the EAJS Digital Forum will offer three tutorials over several days on topics in the digital humanities:
- Handwritten Text Recognition with eScriptorium (Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra, EPHE, PSL, F)
- Digital Editing with the Text Encoding Initiative (Thomas Kollatz, Academy of Sciences, Mainz, D)
- Text Analysis and Visualisation with CATMA vis-À-vis (Ophir Münz-Manor, Open University of Israel)
All tutorials start with an introduction in the afternoon of the opening day (Sunday 12:00-16:00). In early bird sessions on the following four days (Monday-Thursday 7:45-8:45), the topics of the tutorial will be deepened.
