        Subject: Publication on multimodal editions and modeling

Dear Willard,

Humanist readers might be interested in a new (open access) book by
Tessa Gengnagel: "digital scholarly editions beyond text. modelling art,
film, and everything in between" accessible as PDF from
https://doi.org/10.11588/arthistoricum.1132

The title, in a sense, says it all. Let me point out what I find
attractive about it, nevertheless. That "editions" in a multimedia
universe should not be restricted to text only, has quite frequently
been noticed recently. The "editions" of a large sector of recent DH
discussions, however, focus very much on the sheer availability of
various materials of interest, which is far removed from the long
tradition of critical editions.

Gengnagel's book goes beyond that and tries to derive a concept of
variations, from those traditionally identified in a transmitted text,
which is applicable also to variations of pictorial programs and,
indeed, films. That she does so by an explicit attempt at modelling is
interesting in itself.

Best,
Manfred
