ASOR/EPHE European Symposium on Violence and Digital Humanities (Paris, Sept. 4-6, 2018) Honorary Chairs: Susan Ackerman (President of ASOR), and Hubert Bost (President of EPHE-PSL) Morning sessions: “Interaction between Violence, Order, and Conflict within the Political Sphere of Ancient Worlds” --> Session description: What are the justifications for human violence used by rulers in ancient Near East and neighboring regions? How was violence used and in what forms? In their book “Order, Conflict and Violence,” Stathis N. Kalyvas, Ian Shapiro and Masoud Tarek (2008) highlight the lack of integration between order, conflict and violence in the study of human behavior. What are the dynamics of order for our periods according to context? What proportion of violence was for the order? What is the part of objectivity in investigating violence? And to what extent can narrative literature and images help us to understand violence in Ancient Worlds? By questioning the interaction between violence, order, and conflict within the scope of politics, the aim of this symposium is to reassess our understanding of violence in the Ancient World from the Neolithic to the Late Antiquity periods. Afternoon sessions: “Collaborative Projects among European and International Scholars for the Study of Ancient Worlds Using Digital Approaches” --> Session description: Since the Digital Era, computational methods and practices have produced new evidence for our understanding of Ancient Near Eastern and neighboring civilizations from Neolithic to Late Antiquity. However, unfortunately, international collaborations are still limited. Just as CenterNet helps to build a network of digital humanities, our aim is to collectively initiate discussion for building collaborative opportunities among European and international scholars. No matter how advanced your Ancient World digital project is, we invite you to introduce your methods, in order to either find a partner, or build a network of digital humanities within our fields of research. We strongly encourage European junior scholars to present their digital practices, especially when it encourages collaboration between scholars from different fields (e.g. archaeologist/art historian). Video recording and live streaming for all sessions. Co-organized by Vanessa Bigot Juloux (EPHE-PSL, Andrews University, ASOR) and Randall W. Younker (Andrews University, ASOR)

Preface Bienvenue à Marseille et à DigitalHeritage 2013 – the first International Congress on Digital Heritage. It is our honor and pleasure to welcome you to this multi-disciplinary global gathering on the application of digital technology to the documentation, conservation, and understanding of humanity’s shared past. Spanning heritage in all its rich variety, from the built, to intangible traditions, and museums and collections, to documentary archives, and creativity and art, this unique Congress bridges research and practice, industry and government, and art and science. It was 15 years ago that some of us first spoke of the value of trying to bring the many exciting but disparate young events and communities around heritage and technology together. As the field has grown, and a new domain of Digital Heritage has slowly formed, the need to bridge the naturally self-segregating vertical domains has only increased. After a few false starts, finally in late spring of 2013, less than 8 months ago, a critical mass of forward-looking leaders from across the heritage and technology worlds came together and agreed to unite their respective communities under one roof in a shared experiment in Marseille. It is important to note that DigitalHeritage is a test in cooperation and shared governance for this new domain, and neither replaces nor supersedes any of the existing events or communities. It was agreed at the outset that a joint event would not be held in 2014, so that the federating groups could refocus on their individual strengths before any future global gathering might be convened. Under the patronage of UNESCO, this unique Congress federates over a dozen ‘Digital Heritage’ communities, encompassing three leading scientific events in the field: VSMM 2013 – the 19th Int’l Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia GCH 2013 – the 10th Eurographics Symposium on Graphics and Cultural Heritage MEMORY OF THE WORLD the 2nd UNESCO Int’l Conference on Memory of the World in the Digital Age plus two major public exhibitions: ARCHAEOVIRTUAL – the 7th Exhibition on Virtual Archaeology and Museums DAW – the 7th Digital Art Week and complemented by a rich array of regional and special events: ARQUEOLÓGICA 2.0 – the 5th Int’l Mtg. on Archaeology, Cultural Heritage & Information CAA Fall 2013 – Computer Applications & Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Symposium From Space to Place – the 6th Int’l Symposium on Remote Sensing in Archaeology ICOMOS/ISPRS CIPA – Heritage Documentation Int’l Scientific Committee meeting ICOMOS ICIP Panel – ICOMOS Int’l Committee for Heritage Interpretation & Presentation Museum & Technology – a special session organized by V-MUST.NET DISH – a special Workshop of the Digital Strategies for Heritage Conference Heritage Policies & Digital Technologies – a special event of the French Ministry of Culture & Communication and multiple EU Projects – including: v.must, Eagle, Archaeolandscapes, AthenaPlus, 3dIcons, EuropeanaPhotography, 3nCult, emap, LaCloud, et al. Over 600 submissions, the largest ever in this field, were received from close to 70 countries in response to the scientific call. An International Program Committee of over 150 experts from across the heritage and technology spectra read through this vast body of works, conducting over 1500 reviews. Seeking to highlight the very best in this new domain, the Congress accepted 101 Full Papers, 110 Short Papers, and 82 Poster abstracts for publication. In addition the Committee accepted approximately 50 Panel, Workshop, Tutorial, and Special Session presentations. The resulting 350 plus works are grouped in 6 thematic Tracks in this two-volume Proceedings: Digitization; Visualization & Interaction; Analysis & Interpretation; Policy & Standards; Preservation; and Theory, Methods & Applications; plus Special Sessions. An international exhibition of 30 cutting-edge projects spanning 700 square meters is detailed in a separate third volume. Since interaction, debate, and discussion with colleagues both old and new is as important as research, your program over the week-long Congress has been supplemented with time for interaction in the company of local culture and gastronomy, from lunches on the Esplanade, to evening cocktails and a gala dinner, plus an array of cultural visits in the region. As you gather in the 2013 European Capital of Culture, we invite you to look beyond the digital and take time to experience the very real heritage, customs and life of this ancient “Ville” and cultural crossroads of the Mediterranean. France’s second largest city and metropolis, Marseille has also been called France’s oldest. Fittingly, our Congress venue at the gateway of the ancient port spans the old and new, from the picturesque historic Fort Saint-Jean to the technically innovative architecture of the just-opened Villa Meditérranée and MuCEM. Such an event would not have been possible without the generous contributions and support of many colleagues and partners, especially in such a short time. To the Congress Chairs and Commissioners we owe a huge debt of thanks for the countless hours they gave to bring this event together. To our many corporate and government sponsors and patrons, and especially CNRS, our thanks for the financial support that made this event possible. To our publisher and partner IEEE we extend our gratitude for the special alliance to make this first DigitalHeritage Congress open access so that the entire world can learn and benefit from this emerging discipline. Finally, we would like to thank the Local Organizers (CNRS in collaboration with local research institutions Provence : Aix-Marseille University, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, CICRP, School of Architecture and INRIA) and especially the teams at CNRS-MAP and CNR-ITABC who have worked tirelessly for many months to bring this event together. In closing, we welcome you to Marseille and to the first International Congress on Digital Heritage and wish you an enriching, stimulating, and enjoyable week of discovery. Alonzo C. Addison, Livio De Luca, and Sofia Pescarin Congress Co-Chairs Marseille, October 2013
