Dear colleagues:

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of the III International Conference of the HDH (Hispanic Digital Humanities. International Society), I am proud to announce that the CPF is now open. This will remain open until April 28th.

The conference will take place in Málaga, Spain, on October 18th - 20th, 2017.

The development of computational technologies and the expansion of the digital medium have led to important social, political, cultural and epistemological transformations. Digital Humanities, as a field of research, critical reflection and action, have become one of the key pillars in this process, contributing to the advance of digital culture as well as to its critical analysis. Thus, the practice of Digital Humanities helps us expand the new ways of production and distribution of knowledge, culture, social actions, political discourses, etc., which are building the new 21th-century societies, but, at the same time, also helps us be aware of their underlying imbalances and uncertainties.

The III International Conference of the HDH wants to focus on the crucial role played by Digital Humanities, addressing three critical dimensions: societies, politics and knowledge. The main question posed by the HDH2017 is: how are the Digital Humanities contributing – or might contribute – to the transformation of these dimensions in the diversity of the territorial and cultural contexts where the Digital Humanities are developed?

The HDH2017 invites to present proposals that deepen these questions, or others related to the theme of the conference, from the four dimensions that constitute the fundamental core of Digital Humanities: critical reflection, scholarly research, innovative educational practices and activism. This conference also wants to pay special attention to the creative forms of digital culture as spaces for reflection, research and action. Proposals dealing with the ways in which new media, digital literatures and arts contribute to the development and to the critical reflection on the digital culture will be particularly welcome.

The Digital Humanities, broadly defined as a space of disciplinary convergences, requires the participation and involvement of multiple fields of knowledge. Therefore, the HDH wants to promote dialogue, debate and exchange of ideas in this conference, inviting researchers, professionals and students from different fields working in the thematic areas that comprise the Digital Humanities to present their proposals, so that we can explore together innovative and creative lines of action.
