Ethnopoetics names an informal movement in poetry and scholarship dating to the late 1960s but has come more broadly to designate writing that reflects a heightened awareness of the artfulness of oral and traditional poetries and the ways in which diverse verbal arts illuminate world cultures; this writing can also reflect innovative theorizing and practices of representational practices, including transcription/translation. Coined by Jerome Rothenberg, ethnopoetics involves collaborations among poets, storytellers, singers, anthropologists, translators, linguists, and literary scholars. This project was initiated at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, as a project of the graduate English course in comparative literature: Orality, Ethnopoetics, and Digital Humanities ENGL 766/866 in Summer of 2021. Students in ENGL 757-857 - Digital Composition, Literature, and Pedagogy contributed in the Fall of 2021. We hope to be able to work with a broader range of contributors in the future.
21st-century literacy involves negotiating digital environments and making informed decisions about one's online presence. MyDomainIUP Provides each student with a personalized, lifetime* domain (www.studentname.com) and the means to manage it. MyDomain fosters critical awareness and empowers students to define and craft their own online presence, showcasing their academic accomplishments and/or preparing for career (professional website, portfolio, etc.). Workshops, technical support and tutoring support student participants. This pilot with Cook Honors College students is sponsored by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Cook Honors College, and a School of Graduate Studies grant to the Center for Digital Humanities and Culture.Introductory slide show (2018).
The Center for Digital Humanities and Culture (DHC) at IUP supports scholarship, proof-of-concept explorations, and project applications of digital technologies in Humanistic inquiry. It recognizes that today technology saturates the entire academic sphere, from classroom, to library, to lab. It aims to facilitate conversation, collaboration, and resource sharing amongst specialists within the disciplines. It seeks to make connections between new technologies and traditional knowledge areas, as the academy navigates the "print-to-digital" paradigm shift. Former projects include Audibleword.org, Reading Rebooted, and the Open Source Toolkit. Our current project is developing a Women's Diary archive with Dr. Tanya Heflin, using Omeka.
This work has been facilitated by the NEH Hipstas project. A preliminary research report on my work with "versioning" appears at U Penn's Jacket 2: "Distanced sounding: ARLO as a tool for the analysis and visualization of versioning phenomena within poetry audio"
