Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the CFP for the international colloquium Towards a Spanish Civil War and Francoist Repression Digital Research Infrastructurehttps://sswsem.wixsite.com/uabdri2023.

The conference will be hosted by the Center for the Study of Dictatorships and Democracies (CEDID) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. It will be an in-person event November 20-21, 2022 with the option to attend virtually. The languages of the conference will be Catalan, Spanish, and English.

Call for Presenters Submission Deadline August 10, 2023https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmir-FpRpu54RpjM95PTpF-WQA9MXHS5HISxXZkZvWXjw4EA/viewform

The first decades of the 21st century evidenced a proliferation of disparate online resources about the Spanish Civil War and Francoist repression, both within and beyond the borders of the Spanish state. Now, in the third decade, the ever-growing number of databases, repositories, and new media projects calls for a digital infrastructure to bring together otherwise scattered initiatives and sources of information.

This two-day event seeks to showcase the variety of online resources and establish a working group to explore possible frameworks for promoting the discoverability, interoperability, and shared management of digital heritage related to the Spanish Civil War and Francoist repression. Inclusive of diverse initiatives and practitioners, the first day's event will be hybrid (online and in-person), consisting of curated panels of short presentations and moderated conversations. For this, we solicit ten-minute videos or live presentations from activists, archivists, and scholars that introduce completed or in-progress digital projects and their attendant communities, methodologies, and technologies. Taken together, these presentations and conversations will set the stage for the second day's discussion of digital infrastructures and the creation of a working group. Following a traditional conference format, we solicit 20-minute papers dealing with resource creation, curation and engagement, reporting the development of substantial new databases and computational methods, and/or presenting rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions about humanities knowledge and research infrastructures. Papers will be integrated into thematic groupings in order to foster open dialogues amongst participants, culminating in a final collaborative session where we will jointly establish working group principles and objectives.
