Alleen maar. Maar er heerst ook wel enorm een cultuur van "zo is het nou eenmaal" en "we hebben toch maar geluk dat we zo'n vrije en interessante baan hebben"
Ik heb dit ook net gelezen en moet eerlijk gezegd bijna huilen. Het is allemaal zΓ³ herkenbaar. Ook dat je je levenskeuzes van dit alles af laat hangen.
"Hoeveel postdocs er precies aan de VU rondlopen is niet eens bekend." Goed stuk over de werkomstandigheden van postdocs, waarvan deel ook van toepassing zal zijn op andere academici met tijdelijk contract, zoals docenten.

Just listened to a great podcast interview with @suzettevhaaren.bsky.social on her book
The Digital Medieval Manuscript: Material Approaches to Digital Codicology! #medievalsky

Dear friends, this post marks the second step of our relaunch - did you notice the URL in the picture? That's right, Medievalcats now has a home on the internet π€: medievalcats.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de. We are very excited to finally announce our homepage!
Frontispiece of "Guldener Himmels-SchlΓΌssel; Das ist: hoch-nothwendige Unterrichtung/ recht und vollkommenlich zubeichten" (VD17 12:105109E ) from a 1692 printed book copy featuring the digital correction of fingers scanned during the process.
A loud shout out to the finger image removal technologies. You all contribute to making #bookhistory with access to the originals worth while:
This happens when fingers that were used to hold down a book's page to be scanned were captured, and a software repairs this space automatically.

Heute ist @andrearapp.bsky.social bei uns!! Freue mich!
Thanks! I noticed it too, haha. But this is a very good answer.
Medieval and early modern historians, or others who use digital collections! π
When using a digital library/collection for research, are you more focused on individual (digital) manuscripts/books or on the broader context of the library?
What does a (digital) library mean to you?
Answers are π
not a reference many people get, even our Dutch friends!
Aagje and Betje are not entirely impressed... (yet!)
Danke dir! Wir sehen uns bald in Bochum!π€

CfP for IMC Leeds, 6-9 July 2026 The Endless Scroll: Digital Approaches to Medieval Time Sponsor: Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts, Iceland Submission deadline: 1 September 2025 The Icelandic Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts invites contributions that explore how digital methods and tools can illuminate, represent, and reinterpret medieval temporalities. While we particularly welcome research with a focus on the Northern World, this call is open to comparative or globally situated projects across disciplines, periods, and geographies that approach time as both a subject of inquiry and a structuring principle. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to): Visualising medieval perceptions or structures of time Tools and technologies for measuring, representing, or distorting medieval time Digital editions of computus texts Digital reconstruction of objects or texts, lost or transformed over time Manuscript temporality (e.g. mise-en-page, palimpsests, gloss traditions, marginalia) using computational approaches Modelling temporal rhythms in liturgy, agriculture, politics, or narratives Analysis of long-term temporalities in environmental, climatic, or landscape data Artificial intelligence and the automation of temporal interpretation Temporal modelling in metadata, databases, markup languages, and DH infrastructures Interface design and user experience in projects that convey or manipulate medieval temporalities Re-mediating or reimagining medieval time in games or immersive digital environments Temporal poetics and the aesthetics of time in digital medievalism Please submit an abstract of around 200 words, a short bio including affiliation and contact information, and indicate your preferred mode of participation (in-person or virtual). Proposals and queries should be sent to KatrΓn LΓsa L. MikaelsdΓ³ttir (kll@hi.is) no later than 1 September 2025.
