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.).

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.

GO::DH conversations - Friday, August 27

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, GO::DH Conversations is a new series of webinars and online conversations intended to showcase a diverse range of digital humanities work from around the globe, and to spur conversation among the GO::DH community. Please join us for our kick-off conversation on Friday, August 27, featuring Janet Chávez Santiago. Details below! Register here: http://bit.ly/go-dh-conversations Innovate to maintain tradition: Weaving a Zapotec (hi)story Around the world many indigenous communities are skilled in artesanal crafts; whether they are weavers, wood carvers, potters, or other craft-makers. A community’s crafts are evidence of their cultural legacy, which involves beliefs, culture, traditions, and family identities but also those crafts are a symbol of how indigenous communities innovate and incorporate influences from the world as we know it now, that is to say through the crafts we can appreciate how cultures and traditions change and evolve. In my town, Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec community located in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca state in southern Mexico, we are mainly weavers and Zapotec speakers. Weaving is a knowledge that we inherit from our parents and grandparents, we learn the different techniques and the value of the patterns that are woven. Through the threads we are able to build our territory where we can practice our culture and share our beliefs, inside and outside the community. As a living culture, like others in the world, we have been accommodating and shaping our practices as a result of the modernity and changes in the local environment. I have reflected and discussed with other weavers in my family the importance of the stories embedded in the processes of our weavings and how, supported by the digital media, we can create a space to educate the community of weavers and beyond the value, the struggles and the resistance of our (hi)story as it develops everyday. Janet Chávez Santiago was born in Teotitlán del Valle in Oaxaca, Mexico and comes from a family of master textile weavers and Zapotec speakers. From a young age Janet has been involved in traditional textile production, including tapestries and natural dyes. In 2013, in collaboration with Professor Brook Danielle Lillehaugen at Haverford College, she started the Zapotec talking dictionary of Teotitlán Del Valle.
