THE DIGITAL IMAGE: Pictorial Arts and Information Technology
Conference at Bergen Airport Hotel 17-19 October 1991.
This conference will be arranged by the Department of Art History,
University of Bergen, the Norwegian Computing Centre for the
Humanities, and IBM Bergen Scientific Centre.
In the course of the last decennium the development of information
technology has provided possibilities for storage, analysis and presentation
of stills and moving pictures through computer technology. This field is
rapidly developing, and the technology is able to meet more and more of the
demands for quick and easy access to varied kinds of information.
In Norway as well as abroad, there are in progress, or completed, a number
of projects concerned with research in and dissemination of art and culture
historical topics through the use of modern multimedia technology. The new
methods of analysis and presentation are also being employed in the analysis
of film and film history.
At the conference in Bergen, the technological basis for this type of
professional humanist work will be presented through speeches and
demonstrations. Researchers from some of the leading international
institutions will present their projects, and there will be presentations of the
R&D being carried out in this field in Norway.

Dag Bergmann, Project Docim, Dept. of Egyptology, Uppsala University, Sweden

WOMEN'S STUDIES AND COMPUTING
The Clarendon Press (Oxford) plans to issue its first special-
topics version of The Humanities Computing Yearbook in 1993. As
editor of that collection, I can announce that HCY:3 will be
devoted to reports on the use of Computing in the inter-
disciplinary field of Women's Studies.
My first editorial goal is to gather information about
applications of computer technology to the diverse issues faced
by scholars in Women's Studies. My second goal is to assign
experienced researchers in each of the disciplines to write
review essays on the best work in that field. I anticipate
essays on Anthropology, Art, Education, History, Literature (in
several languages), Music, Philosophy, Political Science,
Psychology, Religion, Sociology and . . . (open to other
suggestions)
To achieve these ends, I request that computing scholars active
in Women's Studies PLEASE SEND OFF-PRINTS of the essays they have
about research that relied on computational technology. (These
need not specifically refer to computers). If the computing
connection is not emphasized in the essay, please include a short
description of reasons for using computers, and a statement of
gains and/or losses realized because of the choice.I am also
interested in essays submitted for publication, and statements
about work in progress. I plan to choose review-essay writers
from those who send their work for inclusion in the collection.
There will also be room for essay-length reports on especially
important projects.
Jargon neither necessary nor encouraged. Clear, non-technical
writing sought, especially from anyone who wishes to propose
herself as a review-essay writer.
PLEASE PASS THIS CALL FOR OFFPRINTS AND REVIEWERS ON: to those
whose work should be recognized in this field-defining collection
of reports on Women's Studies and Computing.
Send offprints, descriptions of research, letters of inquiry,
etc. to:
Rosanne G. Potter, Chair
Women's Studies Program
247 Ross Hall
Iowa State University
Ames, Iowa 50011
Deadline for First Draft Submissions: June 1, 1991
