Workshop: Translation and Encoding for the Making and Knowing Project

一般观众摘要 该奖项是为了支持2017年6月下旬在法国图卢兹举办的研讨会。它将与哥伦比亚大学科学与社会中心正在进行的研究--“创造与认知项目”一起举行。该研讨会是一系列跨学科转录，翻译和编码研讨会中的第四个。前三个促进了一个法国历史文本的准确编码转录，Mandalpt Fr.640。在最后一次研讨会结束时，根据实验重建证据和研究，开发了一种用于协作编辑的优化翻译协议。第四次研讨会将再次召集国际专家，项目团队成员和归国博士生实施本协议，并完成数字标记/编码以及手稿和附带资源的准确和一致的翻译。本次研讨会的成果将形成最终数据集，由哥伦比亚图书馆主办，作为开放获取的数字关键版，将于2019年推出。由此产生的开放获取版将使不同的受众能够广泛获取该手稿;该版本将成为一个宝贵的、可广泛获取的研究和教学资源。 《Mandarin pt Fr. 640》包含了各种各样的食谱和指导，涉及医学、金属加工、测量、弹道学、颜料和清漆制造、大炮铸造以及对动物行为的详细观察。《曼尼托巴条约》从未出版，也没有被广泛研究。然而，它提供了手工作坊无与伦比的第一手证据，并提供了对科学革命早期阶段的一瞥，当时自然主要由熟练的工匠通过连续和有条不紊的实验来研究。因此，它形成了现代科学起源中一个关键的缺失环节，代表了一种新的获得基于实验的知识的模式--科学方法--的发展过程中的一个关键历史时刻。制作和了解项目一直在研究手稿的书面和实践活动的组合，采用跨学科的方法，包括动手重建的食谱（使用历史相关的材料，工具和过程）和新的数据可视化和分析从数字人文。本次研讨会将促进进一步阐明和示范的创新模式和标准化方法正在开发的制造和了解项目的大规模跨学科，教学和合作研究，这是目前正在应用于其他大型合作研究项目。

General Audience Summary This award is to support a workshop in Toulouse, France, in late June 2017. It is to be held in conjunction with ongoing research at the Center for Science and Society at Columbia University, the Making and Knowing Project. The workshop is the fourth in a series of interdisciplinary transcription, translation, and encoding workshops. The previous three facilitated an accurate encoded transcription of a French historical text, Manuscript Fr. 640. At the conclusion of the last workshop, an optimized translation protocol for collaborative editing was developed, informed by experimental reconstruction evidence and research. The fourth workshop will reconvene international experts, project team members, and returning doctoral students to implement this protocol and complete the digital markup/encoding and the accurate and consistent translation of the manuscript as well as accompanying resources. Outcomes of this workshop will form the final dataset to be hosted by Columbia Libraries as an open-access digital critical edition that is to be launched in 2019. The resulting open-access edition will make the manuscript widely accessible to diverse audiences; the edition will serve as a valuable, widely-available research and pedagogical resource.Technical Summary Manuscript Fr. 640 contains a huge variety of recipes and instructions in areas as varied as medicine, metalworking, surveying, ballistics, pigment and varnish making, cannon casting, and detailed observations of animal behavior. The Manuscript was never published or extensively studied. Yet, it offers unrivaled first-hand testimony of the craft workshop, and provides a glimpse into the earliest phases of the Scientific Revolution, when nature was investigated primarily by skilled artisans by means of continuous and methodical experimentation in the making of objects. Thus, it forms a crucial missing link in the origins of modern science and represents a pivotal historical moment in the growth of a new mode of gaining empirically-based knowledge, the scientific method. The Making and Knowing Project has been examining the manuscript's assemblage of written and practiced activity by employing interdisciplinary methodologies, including hands-on reconstructions of the recipes (using historically relevant materials, tools, and processes) and new data visualization and analysis from the digital humanities. This workshop will facilitate further articulation and demonstration of the innovative model and standardized methodologies being developed by the Making and Knowing Project for large-scale interdisciplinary, pedagogical, and collaborative research, which is now being applied to other large scale collaborative research projects.
