A revised digital edition of Wurm & Hattori’s Language Atlas of the Pacific Area

Wurm & Hattori’s Language Atlas of the Pacific Area describes the geographic speaker areas of the languages and language varieties spoken in the Pacific. Thanks to the efforts of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative, this monumental piece of work has been available in digital form for over 15 years. But lacking proper identification of language varieties, this digitized data was largely unusable for today’s research methods. We turned ECAI’s digitized artefacts of the Language Atlas into an open, reusable geo-referenced dataset of speaker area polygons for a quarter of the world’s languages. This allows for much more refined analysis methods to, for example, analyse language contact in the area of the world with the highest linguistic diversity. We also describe a number of tool applications and quality checks which may be useful for methodological development in similar digitization efforts.

Aramaic: A History of the First World Language by Holger Gzella

Reviewed by: Aramaic: A History of the First World Language by Holger Gzella Jessie Degrado holger gzella, Aramaic: A History of the First World Language (trans. Benjamin D. Suchard; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2021). Pp. xii + 359. $70. Aramaic: A History of the First World Language is the recent translation with updated bibliography of a volume first published in Dutch in 2017. In the work, Gzella sets himself a monumental task: to present the history of Aramaic over three thousand years without presuming prior knowledge of any Semitic language. Since the work is a popularization of G.'s A Cultural Atlas of Aramaic (HdO 111; Leiden: Brill, 2015), readers with a background in Semitic languages may prefer to consult that volume and, especially, important reviews by Charles Häberl (JAOS 139 [2019] 714–17) and Steven Kaufman ("Notes on A Cultural History of Aramaic" [Aramaic Studies Today, 2017, https://blog.huc.edu/cal/a-culturalhistory-of-aramaic/]). Given the popular focus of the work, this review will focus primarily on its conceptual and historical claims. In chap. 1, G. provides an overview of the history of academic Aramaic studies and some basic features of early Aramaic. In this section, the difficulty of writing a popular history of Aramaic becomes clear: readers with no background in Aramaic will likely struggle to parse the technical details. On the other hand, more experienced readers may be frustrated by the lack of support for several claims, such as the assertion that the lowering of the short vowel i to e obtains in all Aramaic dialects. In fact, the Aramaic name Māti'-'il is consistently written as {ma-ti-' -dingir} (with ti rather than te) in a ninth-century treaty (SAA 2 2), indicating that this phonological process likely postdates Old Aramaic. The next two chapters trace the development and uses of Aramaic in the first millennium b.c.e. Chapter 2 covers the initial phases of the written language, Old Aramaic (OA)—first attested in monumental inscriptions from Syrian kingdoms in the ninth and eighth centuries b.c.e. Chapter 3 outlines the use of Aramaic by first-millennium empires, from its role as a lingua franca in the Neo-Assyrian and Babylonian periods to the development of Imperial Aramaic, a standardized dialect with its own orthographic conventions, employed as the administrative language of the Achaemenid empire. These two chapters highlight an important trend in the history of Aramaic, namely, processes that lead to standardization of dialects in writing. G. gives the impression that this was a highly organized and agentive process, attributable to the reign of a single ruler or even a specific year. For OA, G.'s reconstruction requires sidelining texts that do not adhere to the alleged standardization (Neirab stelae, Deir Alla, and Tell Fekheriye). In addition, Sam'alian, a dialect from Zincirli, is not considered Aramaic (cf. the more recent treatment in Federico Giusfredi and Valerio Pisaniello, "The Population, the Language and the History of Yadiya/Sam'al," in Beyond All Boundaries: Anatolia in the 1st Millennium BC [OBO 295; Leuven: Peeters, 2021] 189–223). In other words, OA appears homogeneous only when all texts attesting to its heterogeneity have been dismissed as anomalous or reclassified as not Aramaic. The next two chapters on Aramaic in late antiquity illustrate the reverse process of linguistic standardization, that is, the movement toward recording the diversity of vernacular speech. G. covers the use of Aramaic in the southern Levant (biblical texts and Qumran), and the development of distinct dialects including Palmyrene, Hatran, and Arascid Aramaic. A substantial portion of chap. 4 is devoted to the assertion that Hebrew was no longer spoken as a vernacular after 400 b.c.e. and had lost all communicative function by the second [End Page 337] century c.e. This requires special pleading, given corpora such as the Bar Kokhba letters and tomb inscriptions from Bet Shearim and Jaffa, which indicate that Hebrew was likely spoken through the second century and used in inscriptions through the fourth century (see Y. Elitzur, "Epigraphic Hebrew: Roman and Byzantine Period," in Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics [ed. Geoffrey Khan; 4 vols.; Leiden: Brill, 2003] 1:843–51). More significantly...

An Essay on Construction of Gyeonggiyetgil Electronic Culture Atlas- The Necessity of Construction and the Basic Concept of Information Provision

This study is on the necessity of constructing an Electronic Culture Atlas of Gyeonggiyetgil the concept of information provision. Gyeonggiyetgil is a road restored by Gyeonggi-province with the goal of completion in 2022. The purpose of the road is not just the purpose of movement. In the case of Gyeonggiyetgil, it was built in the Joseon Dynasty and is a road that can be traveled on foot. Travelers walking on this road can experience the history, stories, cultural properties, and natural scenery of the road. Therefore, various information related to Gyeonggiyetgil exists. In this study, we would like to mention the necessity of constructing an Electronic Culture Atlas for Gyeonggiyetgil and discuss in detail how existing information can be collected and provided.

Chinese Temple Networks in Southeast Asia: A WebGIS Digital Humanities Platform for the Collaborative Study of the Chinese Diaspora in Southeast Asia

This article introduces a digital platform for collaborative research on the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia, focusing on networks of Chinese temples and associations extending from Southeast China to the various port cities of Southeast Asia. The Singapore Historical Geographic Information System (SHGIS) and the Singapore Biographical Database (SBDB) are expandable WebGIS platforms gathering and linking data on cultural and religious networks across Southeast Asia. This inter-connected platform can be expanded to cover not only Singapore but all of Southeast Asia. We have added layers of data that go beyond Chinese Taoist, Buddhist, and popular god temples to also display the distributions of a wide range of other religious networks, including Christian churches, Islamic mosques, Hindu temples, and Theravadin, which are the Taiwanese, Japanese and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries found across the region. This digital platform covers a larger area than the Taiwan History and Culture in Time and Space (THCTS) historical GIS platform but is more regionally focused than the ECAI (Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative) By incorporating Chinese inscriptions, extensive surveys of Chinese temples and associations, as well as archival and historical sources, this platform provides new materials and new perspectives on the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia. This paper: (1) outlines key research questions underlying these digital humanities platforms; (2) describes the overall architecture and the kinds of data included in the SHGIS and the SBDB; (3) reviews past research on historical GIS; and provides (4) a discussion of how incorporating Chinese epigraphy of Southeast Asia into these websites can help scholars trace networks across the entire region, potentially enabling comparative work on a wide range of religious networks in the region. Part 5 of the paper outlines technical aspects of the WebGIS platform.

Understanding Comparative Beliefs Visualized: Pedagogy and the Power of GIS in the Contextualizing of Historical Taiwan

This paper will provide an overview of the historical influences that are the subject of the time-mapping visualization of Taiwan, primarily from the perspective of how those influences affected the island’s original inhabitants. This narrative accompanies a description of the mapping project itself—part of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative based at UC Berkeley—including details related to the source of historical/geographical data and the digitization of that data for dynamic representation. This project is centred on the cultural resources and experience of Taiwan, which today faces issues of aboriginal language extinction, identification and access to cultural resources, the teaching of history in public education, and adapting to a multicultural identity, all of which are components of cultural resource management (CRM), and all of which would be served well by the CRM technology and programs of which this project can be considered a pilot project.

The Linguistic and Cultural Atlas of Immigration: Multidisciplinary Research for Spanish Classrooms

AbstractThis study presents a model for researching the integration of the immigrant population in educational contexts based on a multidisciplinary approach.The Linguistic and Cultural Atlas of Immigration(ALCI) is a working tool designed for teachers who must serve students in their classrooms from languages and cultures other than that of instruction. The information the Atlas contains is the product of various research and documentation projects on the demographic variables of the foreign population located in central Spain, the habits and customs of their culture of origin and important aspects of their native, family or heritage language. The ALCI raises awareness of the results of linguistic and cultural research carried out with the collaboration of the immigrant population (students, their families and other participating adults) and teachers, so that they can be leveraged and employed in the classroom.

Iranian Cultural Atlas; Central Component in Cultural Engineering and Peivastnegari (Cultural Impact Assessment)

یکی از شیوه‌های تحلیل پدیده‌های فرهنگی در حوزه سیاست‌گذاری فرهنگی تهیه اطلس فرهنگی است. در کشورهای توسعه‌یافته مانند فرانسه، آمریکا، انگلستان و روسیه داده‌های پایه فرهنگی و مردم‌شناختی در مهندسی فرهنگی (کلان) کشورشان به‌طور مستمر مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد‌ و نتایج آن در اطلس فرهنگی ارائه می‌شود. به هر حال، هر‌گونه اقدام و فعالیتی در دایره ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی و یا پیوست‌نگاری فرهنگی و در نگاهی کلان‌تر تدوین چارچوب سیاست‌گذاری فرهنگی در کشور مانند تدوین نقشه مهندسی فرهنگی کشور، نیازمند خوانشی فرهنگی در قالب شاخص‌ها و مؤلفه‌هایی فرهنگی است که یکی از آن‌ها اطلس فرهنگی می‌باشد. هدف این تحقیق بررسی تأثیر تدوین اطلس فرهنگی در سیاست‌گذاری‌ها و مهندسی فرهنگی کشور است. ازاین‌رو، سؤال تحقیق این است که شرایط و شاخصه‌های فرهنگ ملی و منطقه‌ای تا چه اندازه می‌تواند در بازنمایی ابعاد مختلف فرهنگ مؤثر باشد و این امر تا چه میزان در چرخه سیاست‌گذاری و مهندسی فرهنگی نقش دارد. همچنین، آیا می‌توان در این زمینه با تدوین اطلس فرهنگی ایران به نتایج مطلوبی در ارائه الگوی مهندسی کشور دست یافت؟ لذا با این پرسش‌ها می‌توان به تفاوت‌های فرهنگی در نواحی جغرافیای فرهنگی کشور که در نظرگاه هافستد مطرح شده به میان آورد. در این تحقیق بر اساس مطالعات کتابخانه‌ای و سندپژوهشی در کنار فراتحلیل پژوهش‌های ملی و بین‌المللی صورت گرفته، ابعاد و مؤلفه‌های اطلس فرهنگی ایران را که مبنایی برای پیوست‌نگاری‌ها و ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی است، تبیین می‌شود. این پژوهش با تصویر بایسته‌هایی از آمارها و مطالعات صورت گرفته مانند مطالعات هافستد، گلوب و ... ، نشان می‌دهد که توجه به این عناصر می‌تواند، علاوه بر ارائه تعریفی جدید از اطلس فرهنگی، حیطه پیوست‌نگاری و ارزیابی‌های فرهنگی و اجتماعی در ایران را متحول و ابعاد جدیدی را بر آن بگشاید.

Municipalities and educational modernisation: a historical and geographical atlas of municipalities and education in Portugal

This text focuses on municipalities from an educational and cultural perspective. Over the last 200 years, municipalities have played a fundamental role in the creation of guiding principles and educational norms and conventions. They have participated in the supply and universalisation of schooling and have contributed to integrating the public sphere and the modern, contemporary political structure. Municipalities as territories, populations, economies, and collective governments backed by written administration have influenced and become the model of the liberal and republican political and educational transformations. They have been crucial to the political, administrative, and socio-cultural constitution of the contemporary state. The school institution has integrated social and political development while educational modernity has brought school cartography closer to demographic, administrative, and cultural cartography. The municipal initiative has played a key role in terms of territorial suitability, modernisation of the school network, and curricular diversity. This text picks up on the main conclusions of the Educational and Cultural Atlas of the Municipalities in Portugal, and places the Portuguese context within a European and western framework. Municipalities are presented as an educational space, with historical and pedagogical importance in the modernisation of schooling, despite a historiographical tendency to dilute them into the state, connecting them to an official perspective of education. The article contains a summary of the Educational Atlas of the Municipalities in Portugal.

Report of the Seventy-Ninth Annual Meeting: Portland, Oregon October 5–8, 2016

Report of the Seventy-Ninth Annual MeetingPortland, Oregon October 5–8, 2016 Hunter Shobe and David Banis The Association of Pacific Coast Geographers held its seventy-ninth annual meeting on October 5–8, 2016, at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. More than 250 academic, professional, and student members of the APCG came together for paper and poster sessions, the welcoming keynote session and reception, the presidential plenary, field trips, and the student awards banquet. Presenters came from more than forty-two different APCG universities. The collegial and supportive atmosphere at the APCG meetings makes it a great forum for exchanging ideas and we were pleased to host this year’s meeting at PSU. The Portland State University Department of Geography faculty hosted the meeting on their campus, and most of the events took place in the Smith Memorial Student Union. The opening session began on (a rainy) Wednesday evening. PSU Provost Sona Andrews; APCG President Stephen Cunha; Director of PSU’s Institute for Sustainable Solutions, Robert Liberty; and PSU Geography Department Chair Heejun Chang each greeted the gathering before the opening plenary. Philip Mote, Director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Center and Oregon Climate Services, and Professor at the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, delivered the opening plenary, “Planning in the face of uncertainty: what we don’t know about our changing climate.” A reception with Oregon beers and wines followed in the browsing room overlooking the South Park Blocks. For the 2016 meeting, all poster and paper sessions met on Thursday and Friday, and the field trips took place on Saturday. APCG members presented more than 140 papers and posters in four (and at times five) concurrent sessions. Session topics spanned the range of interests held by the members of our organization; the program [End Page 267] is available online at the APCG and PSU Department of Geography websites. A number of organized events and sessions took place on (an also rainy) Friday. In the morning, the APCG Women’s Network sponsored a panel discussion focused on mentorship and action strategies related to gender equity and diversity in higher education. Organized and chaired by Katie Meehan of the University of Oregon and Jessie Clark of the University of Nevada, Reno, the session panelists were Kate Berry, University of Nevada, Reno, Harriet Hawkins, University of London, and Amy Lobben, the University of Oregon. Late Friday morning, Stephen Cunha delivered his Presidential Address, discussing his research on evolving land protection in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan. The environmental and political context provided by Stephen was supported and illustrated by an extraordinary collection of his photographs from the region. The Student Awards Banquet took place in the Smith Memorial Student Union ballroom on Friday evening at this year’s meeting. Excellent student presentations were plentiful, and the great turnout made decisions about choosing award winners particularly difficult this year. APCG vice-president Dennis Dingemans, of UC Davis, emceed the event. On Saturday (the day it did not rain much and when the weather was actually quite nice), four field trips coordinated by Barbara Brower offered a number of different looks at the Portland area. Martha Works led a group on a “Landscapes of Wine in Oregon” tour. Andrés Holz and Martin Lafrenz led an excursion on the biogeography and geo-morphology of Mount Hood. Barbara Brower and Robert Voeks took a group to the Columbia River Gorge and the Hood River Valley. David Banis and Hunter Shobe led a crew of participants on a meandering walking and public-transportation tour of Portland, connected to their book Portlandness: A Cultural Atlas. The event came together thanks to the efforts of many APCG members and people at Portland State University. Steve Graves, of California State Northridge, single-handedly put the registration site [End Page 268] together. David Deis and James Craine, also of California State North-ridge, designed the clean and sharp look of the meeting program. The PSU Department of Geography staff, especially Seyrra Croy, Iliana Torres, and Andrea Celentano, were instrumental in helping pull everything together before, during, and after the meeting. The success of the meeting...

Design and Implementation of Mediterranean Electronic Cultural Atlas(MECA) for Researchers

Utilization of Electronic Cultural Atlas for Humanities: Area study based Digital Humanities

As a methodology for academic studies, user requirements and use cases on systems which are fusion of specific academic disciplines and information technology are increasing. Digital Humanities is a research methodology, which means study methods or systems for Humanities, Area studies etc. Electronic cultural atlas is a form of convergence technology that is merged between IT and cultural contents, and it can be effectively utilized in academic researches. In this paper, we suggest methods to utilize electronic cultural atlas for Humanities and Area studies from the perspective of Digital Humanities. In details, we investigate both systems related to Digital Humanities and electronic cultural atlas at domestic and overseas perspective, and also study on methods to implement electronic cultural atlas effectively in the view of Digital Humanities.

지속적인 정보기술의 발전으로 최근 인문학, 지역학 등 다른 학문 분야와의 융합에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 정보기술과 인문 지역학의 융합 분야 중에서 전자문화지도는 점, 선, 면의 공간데이타와 시간, 공간, 주제를 통하여 다양한 문화정보를 디지털화하여 전자지도 위에 표현한다. 지식지도는 전자문화지도의 활용을 고도화시킨 개념으로, 기존의 전자문화지도 상에 전문학술정보를 표현하는 것이다. 이 지식지도는 세부적으로 전자문화지도와 연계하여 학술정보를 제공하므로 주제별, 지역별, 시대별 데이터가 유기적으로 연결된 시각적이고 통합적인 정보 공유 및 확산이 가능하다. 따라서 지식지도 구축이 활성화되면 효율적인 학문 연구 및 연구결과 확산을 위한 도구로 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 지식지도에 대한 전반적인 개념, 구성에 대한 연구 내용을 기술하고, 이를 기반으로 실제 지식지도 구현을 위한 설계를 제시한다. According to continuous development of information technology, it is needed to make convergence of other disciplines such as humanities and area studies. Among convergence fields related to information technology and humanities/area studies, electronic cultural atlas represents various digitalized cultural information on electronic map using spatial data such as points, lines, and polygons through time, spatial, and subject axises. Knowledge map is to represent special academic information based on electronic cultural atlas. In details, knowledge map can provide integrated information sharing and spread because academic information associated with electronic cultural atlas and data related to per subjects, regions, and period become organically connected. Therefore, knowledge map may be utilized to promote scholastic research and diffuse research result. In this paper, we describe basic concept and composition of knowledge map and propose design method to construct knowledge map.

Early Austronesian Historical Voyaging in Monsoon Asia: Heritage and Knowledge for Museum Displays Utilizing Texts, Archaeology, Digital Interactive Components, and GIS Approaches

This paper covers work using historical geographic information systems (GIS) by the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) 2 to trace early navigation in Monsoon Asia. To open a scholarly Web-based platform to a broader audience, the ECAI Austronesia Team is collaborating with the Maritime Buddhism project conceived by Lewis Lancaster. The Maritime Buddhism project is being developed to reach general audiences with a high level of interactivity and 3D visualizations featuring historic timelines, ships, trade routes and trade winds, travelling monks, life at ports, and stories. To allow the information to be more accessible, mobile phone apps and multi-media museum displays are being developed. Austronesian speaking peoples made navigation a way of life across the Indian and Pacific oceans spanning thousands of years. The goal of this integration of content and technology is to enable our understanding of Monsoon Asia, its diffusion of culture, and oceanic navigation to become alive and accessible.
