• Part 1: Seminar: How to transfer knowledge in a multilingual and pluricultural empire? A case-study from 19th-century Russia
  When we think about knowledge transfer in relation to translation, we often have spatially separated actors and objects in mind. Not only is translation carried out from one language to another, but this process also commonly takes place in different locations. In this lecture, I would like to explore this issue from a spatial perspective. Where, by whom and for whom is knowledge created in a multilingual and multicultural society such as that of Russia at the beginning of the 19th century? The subject of investigation is the History of the Russian State by Nikolay Karamzin that has been transferred into a wide variety of languages and (text) forms (including schoolbooks, an atlas, a picture book, popular summaries and an atlas) inside and outside Russia.
• Part 2: Workshop: Data visualisation for the Humanities — exploring disciplinary peculiarities and useful applications
  Visualisation is generally understood as the ability to present scholarly findings in an understandable way (and is thus predominantly directed towards a lay audience outside academia). However, visualisations can also convey complex processes and content and make a key contribution to generating scholarly knowledge. In this workshop, we will explore the added value of data visualisation in the processing, analysis and presentation of scholarly findings. We will develop low-threshold solutions that do not require knowledge of relevant computer programs or programming skills. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to identify elements of their research that could be visualised and create these visualisations independently, integrating them into their ongoing research.

Bionote:

Philipp Hofeneder (*1981) is an independent postdoctoral researcher from Vienna/Austria. With a background in Slavic Studies (Polish, Russian, Ukrainian) and Translation Studies, he is interested in historical phenomena of knowledge transfer and the associated forms of communication in multilingual and pluricultural societies (Habsburg Monarchy, Russian Empire, Soviet Union). For some time now, he has been applying methods from the digital humanities, including data visualisation, digital knowledge production and science communication.
