CFP: DH Benelux - Leiden 2021 - The Humanities in a Digital World
by Sara Petrollino 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

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, Please see the CFP for the DH Benelux 2021 which will be held in hybrid format (online and offline from Leiden) on 2-4 June 2021. CFP: https://2021.dhbenelux.org/call-for-papers/ Deadline for the CFP: 15 February 2021 (23:59 CET) Theme: The Humanities in a Digital World In a year in which our societies have become ever more (post-)digital, the relevance and value of tools and perspective produced by those working in, on, and at the interface of the study of human culture and computing is more relevant than ever. Furthermore, in this time of crisis many core aspects of our work have also shifted into the digital realm, which presents unique new affordances and constraints. This is felt in all aspects of our scholarly practices and we especially welcome papers that reflect on the Humanities in a Digital world, including but not limited to, the following themes of transition: * Digital Humanities Education and Digital Education in the Humanities * Collection, replication and evaluation of DH datasets and the role and value of FAIR approaches in a time of crisis. * ‘True’ interdisciplinarity as a consequence of Digital Humanities and areas of convergence of the Humanities at large due to ongoing and accelerated digital transformation of our world. Beyond this theme we invite submissions of abstracts on any aspect of Digital Humanities: practical experimentation, theorising, cross- and multidisciplinary work, and new and relevant developments. -- Dr. Sara Petrollino, Leiden University Centre for Linguistics https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/staffmembers/sara-petrollino#tab-1

CFP: Special Issue of Cultural Analytics "Theorytellings: Epistemic Narratives in the Digital Humanities"
by Rabea Kleymann 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

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, We would like to draw your attention to a current call for papers on the topic of “Theorytellings: Epistemic Narratives in the Digital Humanities”. The overall goal of the special issue is to discuss the theoretical foundation of DH research as an epistemic perspective that adds to the current focus on research practices in DH, which have traditionally been focused on data and modeling issues as well as digital methods, tools and infrastructures. We invite new procedures and perspectives of knowledge production that are first and foremost derived from theoretical reflection. Abstracts (300–400 words) are due March 31st, 2021. Accepted papers will be published in the open-access Journal of Cultural Analytics. Please find more details on the call for papers here: https://culturalanalytics.org/post/795-cfp-theorytellings-epistemic-narrati… We are looking forward to receive your abstracts! Please feel free to share the CFP with anyone interested. Manuel Burghardt, Jonathan D. Geiger, Rabea Kleymann, Mareike Schumacher (guest editors) -- Rabea Kleymann Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung Schützenstraße 18 10117 Berlin +49 (0)30 20 192 - 176
