Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. First call for papers DHASA Conference 2021 https://dh2021.digitalhumanities.org.za/ Theme: “Digitally Human, Artificially Intelligent” The Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) is organizing its third conference with the theme “Digitally Human, Artificially Intelligent”. The field of Digital Humanities is currently still rather underdeveloped in Southern Africa. Hence, this conference has several aims. First, to bring together researchers who are interested in showcasing their research from the broad field of Digital Humanities. By doing so, this conference provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art of Digital Humanities especially in the Southern Africa region. This includes Digital Humanities research by people from Southern Africa or research related to the geographical area of Southern Africa. Second, the conference allows for information sharing among researchers interested in Digital Humanities as well as network building. By bringing together researchers working on Digital Humanities from Southern Africa or on Southern Africa, we hope to boost collaboration and research in this field. Third, affiliated workshops and tutorials provide information for researchers to learn about novel technologies and tools. These related events are aimed at researchers interested in the field of Digital Humanities, to focus on specific aspects of Digital Humanities or to provide practical information for researchers to move into the field or advance their knowledge in the field. The DHASA conference is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on all areas of Digital Humanities (including, but not limited to language, literature, visual art, performance and theatre studies, media studies, music, history, sociology, psychology, language technologies, library studies, philosophy, methodologies, software and computation, etc.). It aims to create the conditions for the emergence of a scientific Digital Humanities community of practice. Suggested topics include the following: - Humanities research enabled through digital media, artificial intelligence or machine learning, software studies, mapping and geographic information systems, or information design and modelling; - Social, institutional, global, gender, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities including digital feminisms, digital indigenous studies, digital cultural and ethnic studies, digital black studies, digital queer studies; - Theoretical, epistemological, historical, or related aspects and interpretations of digital humanities practice and theory; - Computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, archaeological, and historical studies, including public humanities and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; - Computational textual studies, including quantitative stylistics, stylometry, authorship attribution, text mining, etc.; - Emerging technologies such as physical computing, single-board computers, minimal computing, wearable devices, and haptic technologies applied to humanities research; - Digital cultural studies, hacker culture, networked communities, digital divides, digital activism, open/libre networks and software, etc.; - Digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula; - Critical infrastructure studies, critical software studies, media archaeology, eco-criticism, etc., as they intersect with the digital humanities; and - Any other theme pertaining to the digital humanities. Additionally, topics specifically related to the theme of the conference are requested, among others: - AI and decolonisation, AI as a new form of colonisation, algorithmic bias; - AI and Anthropocene, discourse of extinction, reverse-engineer- extinction via AI; - AI and human-technology interactions (androids, cyborgs, robots, posthumanism), AI and digital labour, data extraction, knowledge magnification, AI and facial recognition; - AI-driven art, impact of AI-art on art, (ontological) relation between art and AI, questions of (computational) creativity, intelligence and perception, digital arts (including architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and electronic literature), purposes of art; - Histories and materialities of AI, telling better stories about AI, imagining better ways of living with AI; - Superintelligence, ‘so-called’ intelligence, another intelligence, artificial unintelligence, adversarial intelligence. Submission Guidelines The DHASA conference 2021 asks for three types of submissions: - Long papers of at most 10 pages, not counting references, when accepted will allow for a presentation; - Short papers of at most 6 pages, not counting references, when accepted will allow for a poster presentation; - Abstracts of 200-250 words, when accepted will allow for a lightning talk. Additionally, student submissions (where the first author is a student) are especially encouraged. All submissions should adhere to the style guide, see https://dh2021.digitalhumanities.org.za/style-guides/. All accepted submissions that are presented at the conference will be published in the conference proceedings. Important dates Submission deadline: 22 August 2021 Date of notification: 30 September 2021 Camera ready copy deadline: 28 October 2021 Conference: 29 November 2021 - 3 December 2021 Given the current state of the Covid pandemic, the conference will be fully virtual. Co-located events Several co-located events are currently being prepared, including workshops, tutorials (e.g., Wikimedia), and a shared task.

Call for Abstracts for edited volume on 'Multilingual Digital Humanities'
by Spence, Paul 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '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 find below information on a call for contributions to an edited volume that may be of interest. Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Multilingual Digital Humanities Guest editors: Dr Lorella Viola (University of Luxembourg) and Paul Spence (King's College London). This edited volume will explore the contemporary and future relevance of multilingualism (and its cultural impact) in DH practices. In recent years, greater awareness around issues of power, archival biases, silences in the archives, and lack of language diversity within the context of digitisation has developed not just in archival studies, but also in digital humanities (DH), digital history, and digital heritage (see for instance McPherson 2019; Earhart 2019; Risam 2015; Noble 2019; Mandell 2019). Nevertheless, computational resources available for languages other than English continue to remain on the whole scarce. Such Anglophone-centricity acts as a barrier to researchers, teachers and curators who work on, or teach with, materials in languages other than English. Indeed, the comparative lack of computational resources in other languages often dictates which tasks can be performed, with which tools and through which platforms (Viola and Fiscarelli 2021). Moreover, even when adaptations for other languages may be possible, identifying which changes should be implemented and perhaps more importantly, understanding the impacts that these may have, is often unclear (Fiormonte 2012, Mahoney 2018, Mullaney 2017). This typically means that one must inevitably make methodological compromises which are less than ideal. But digital monolingualism does not have just methodological repercussions for the field. Because most of the large-scale digitisation programs have been carried out in the United States and in Europe, digital ecosystems equally suffer from a lack of geo-cultural diversity and DH practices outside the Global North continue to be heavily under-represented. The direct consequence of this linguistic and cultural polarisation is that geo-culturally peripheral work and minority voices are largely excluded from the wider scholarly conversation, thus inevitably perpetuating selection biases. This edited volume will explore the contemporary and future relevance of multilingualism (and its cultural impact) in DH practices. The volume aims to bring together, advance, and reflect on recent work on the social and cultural relevance of multilingualism for scholarship, pedagogy, and public engagement around digital resources, methods, platforms, infrastructures, and computational tools in the context of DH. It answers the urgent need for approaching the digital not as something which is 'transparent' or 'inanimate' but as a culturally situated and organic entity embedding past, present, and future worlds which reacts to and impacts on institutional and methodological frameworks for knowledge creation. We therefore welcome contributions that address the following and related themes: * Theoretical reflections on digital transdisciplinary approaches to multilingual and digital research (and its intercultural implications); * The development and application of multilingual and multicultural digital methods and infrastructures; * Research into the nature and implications of studying diverse forms and processes of multilingual and multicultural research in the digital space for instance in the context of translation studies, transborder and transcultural studies, language pedagogy and education; * Multilingual challenges in the application of NLP in humanities and social sciences research; * Low resourced, minoritized or endangered languages in a digital space; * More critical reflections about the contours and geolinguistically-framed definitions of 'digital' especially with reference to multilingualism in DH practices. The guest editors are Dr Lorella Viola (C²DH - University of Luxembourg) and Paul Spence (King's College London). Proposals should include paper title, the presenter's name, contact information, and institutional affiliation and should be no more than 500 words in length (including references). Collaboratively authored submissions are welcome. Please send your contribution for consideration to both lorella.viola(a)uni.lu<mailto:lorella.viola@uni.lu> and paul.spence(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:paul.spence@kcl.ac.uk> by 6 September 2021 at the latest. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to send full contributions by 15 March 2022. We have agreement with Routledge to develop a proposal for this edited volume, which would be featured in their series Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities. This series, one of the first and most highly regarded in the field, covers a wide range of disciplines and provides an authoritative reflection of the 'state of the art' in the application of computing and technology. The titles in this peer-reviewed series are critical reading not just for experts in digital humanities and technology issues, but for all scholars working in arts and humanities who need to understand the issues around digital research.

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] Call for Papers - SUMAC 2021 The 3rd workshop on Structuring and Understanding of Multimedia heritAge Contents In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2021, 20 - 24 October 2020, Chengdu, China Workshop: https://sumac-workshops.github.io/2021/ Conference: https://2021.acmmm.org Aims and scope The digitization of large quantities of analogue data and the massive production of born-digital documents for many years now provide us with large volumes of varied multimedia data (images, maps, text, video, multi-sensor data, etc.), an important feature of which is that they are cross-domain. "Cross-domain" reflects the fact that these data may have been acquired in very different conditions: different acquisition systems, times and points of view. These data represent an extremely rich heritage that can be exploited in a wide variety of fields, from Social Sciences and Humanities to land use and territorial policies, including smart city, urban planning, smart tourism and culture, creative media and entertainment. In terms of research in computer science, they address challenging problems related to the diversity and volume of the media across time, the variety of content descriptors (potentially including the time dimension), the veracity of the data, and the different user needs with respect to engaging with this rich material and the extraction of value out of the data. These challenges are reflected in various research topics such as multimodal and mixed media search, automatic content analysis, multimedia linking and recommendation, and big data analysis and visualization, where scientific bottlenecks may be exacerbated by the time dimension, which also provides topics of interest such as multimodal time series analysis. The objective of the third edition of this workshop is to present and discuss the latest and most significant trends in the analysis, structuring and understanding of multimedia contents dedicated to the valorization of heritage, with the emphasis on enabling access to the big data of the past. We welcome research contributions for the following (but not limited to) topics: * Multimedia and cross-domain data interlinking and recommendation * Dating and spatialization of historical data * Mixed media data access and indexing * Deep learning in adverse conditions (transfer learning, learning with side information,etc.) * Multi-modal time series analysis, evolution modeling * Multi-modal & multi-temporal data rendering * Heritage - Building Information Modeling, Art * HCI / Interfaces for large-scale datasets * Smart digitization of massive quantities of data * Bench-marking, Open Data Movement * Generative modeling of cultural heritage Important dates * Paper submission: 30 July 2021 (11:59 p.m. AoE) * Author acceptance notification: 26 August 2021 * Camera-Ready: 2 September 2021 * Workshop date: 20 or 24 October 2021 (TBA) Submission guidelines Submission format. All submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work in progress. One submission format is accepted: full paper, which must follow the formatting guidelines of the main conference ACM MM 2021. Full papers should be from 6 to 8 pages (plus 2 additional pages for the references), encoded as PDF and using the ACM Article Template. For paper guidelines, please visit: https://2021.acmmm.org/regular-papers . Peer Review and publication in ACM Digital Library. Paper submissions must conform with the “double-blind” review policy. All papers will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field, they will receive at least two reviews. Acceptance will be based on relevance to the workshop, scientific novelty, and technical quality. Depending on the number, maturity and topics of the accepted submissions, the work will be presented via oral or poster sessions. The workshop papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
