CFP: Premodern Digital Ecologies
by Aylin Malcolm 17 Jun '23

17 Jun '23

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues, I'm happy to announce the call for papers for a special issue of Digital Philology on "Premodern Digital Ecologies." Abstracts are due December 1, 2023, and we're happy to discuss potential topics in the meantime. Please see below for more information. Call for Papers: Premodern Digital Ecologies (Special Issue of Digital Philology) Guest Edited by Aylin Malcolm and Andrew Richmond The intersection of the digital and environmental humanities speaks to our current moment: we live in a world in flux, experiencing a changing climate we seek to explain by digital models. As we use new technology to interact with and understand the “natural” world, scholars and activists also use digital platforms to communicate about ecological issues with new and diverse audiences. Medieval studies has long been at the forefront of the digital humanities, while ecocriticism and environmental history have significantly advanced our understanding of how people in the Middle Ages conceived of the nonhuman world. Recently, these threads have come together in adapting modern digital tools for the study of premodern experiences of local and evolving environments, leading to a productive proliferation of energetic and insightful approaches to archival and archaeological materials. Digital investigations of medieval environments in turn invite inquiry into the role that affect plays in shaping contemporary conceptions of premodern places and times. This special issue highlights the exciting spectrum of critical work in premodern digital ecologies, and examines how modern tools and approaches can help us to model and explore environments from across the medieval world. What changes about our experiences of medieval materials and ecosystems when we interact with them through a digital medium, or as virtual objects? How can digital tools make academic study of medieval environments accessible to a range of audiences, or enable work in the public humanities? How do we avoid imposing modern identities onto premodern people and environments when studying or modeling them through a digital lens? What do digital models reveal about the relationship between local, regional, and global environments in medieval conceptions of the world? How do we draw critical connections between diverse digital approaches? How can we build on the lessons of premodern digital ecology to understand our contemporary ecological moment? And how do we account for the inherent environmental costs of digital methods? Articles might consider topics such as: digital modeling or exhibitions of medieval landscapes; the implications of biocodicological analyses of medieval manuscripts and materials; the environmental impact of digital tools; pedagogical applications of these technologies in courses dealing with medieval environments; the potential for digital tools to enable an interconnected view of the global Middle Ages; and the need for both digital and ecological fields to reckon with their participation in systems of oppression while engaging with justice for marginalized and racialized peoples. Please send abstracts of approximately 300 words to Andrew (richmonda1(a)southernct.edu<mailto:richmonda1@southernct.edu>) and Aylin (amalco08(a)uoguelph.ca<mailto:amalco08@uoguelph.ca>) by December 1, 2023. Acceptance notices for abstracts will be issued by the end of December 2023 and full drafts will be due in September 2024. All articles will be peer reviewed; acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee publication.

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues, I apologize if this message or a variant of it reaches you multiple times. The decentralized nature of spreading the following information and request will guarantee some email cluttering, I am afraid. Enough talk, to business… The ALLEA Working Group E-Humanities has launched an open consultation concerning draft recommendations on the recognition, assessment, and evaluation of innovative digital scholarly outputs in the humanities. The objective is to collect broad feedback from active humanities researchers and institutions to tailor the recommendations to the community’s needs. The consultation is open to all researchers and practitioners working in disciplines within the humanities, policymakers, and representatives of all public and private organizations active in the field. Detailed instructions for contributing are available in this recent ALLEA News Feature and the draft recommendations can also be accessed directly here: https://bit.ly/ALLEAehumanities. We are particularly keen to hear from humanities researchers in ALLEA member academies, and we would very much welcome your support in disseminating the call for contributions among your relevant experts. The consultation is open until 26 July 2023. Thank you in advance for any support and feel free to get in touch in case you have any questions.
