A reminder to all Digital Medievalists: Part II of the world-wide Digital Medievalist symposium takes place next week, June 11 (AEST)

 

Languages, Texts, Environments: Digital Transformations in our Past, Present and Future

 

Part II of the global conference series The Past, Present and Future of Digital Medieval Studies: A Global Digital Medievalist Symposium, the Asia and Oceania panel offers a fresh perspective for digital medievalists, since the Middle Ages and the scheme of historical periodisation that applies to Europe has little relevance to the historical timelines which unfolded in Asia and the region of Oceania. Spanning the eastern and western hemispheres, the nations of Asia and the islands of Oceania have divergent histories and encompass an incredibly diverse mix of cultures. This panel seeks to offer a small taste of activities undertaken in the sphere of scholarship broadly termed digital humanities, and to introduce new topics and questions to our Digital Medievalist audience.

 

The panel is divided into four one-hour sessions:
