CFP: Current Keywords in Digital Literary Culture (DLC+)
by Kiera Obbard 16 Sep '25

16 Sep '25

Dear CSDH Community, Digital Literary Cultures (DLC)+ is excited to announce the launch of our inaugural Current Keywords in Digital Literary Culture, an ongoing series of mini-conferences devoted to studying the most pressing and emerging concepts actively shaping digital literary culture. In 2025-2026, Current Keywords in Digital Literary Culture will host two virtual mini-conferences consisting of four thematically-linked keywords actively shaping digital literary culture in the very online, very present moment. We are working at the bleeding edge of culture, and these mini-conferences are designed to be intimate, safe, and collaborative spaces to think with others about what we see emerging, as it is emerging. To that end, the conference will be held on a single day, with a morning panel on one keyword and afternoon panel on another. For each keyword, we are soliciting submissions for four 10-minute papers that will be pre-circulated in order to facilitate timely conversations about the pressing issues in digital literary culture today. Our aim is to invite conversation across the papers and across the keywords through a day spent reading and thinking together. For our inaugural Keywords Sessions, our selections ask potential participants to touch on these dynamics via the following keywords shaping digital literary culture today: smut and lore. You can read the full CFP and submit here: https://forms.gle/hXgbeJ1s5okDTtbM9 Please reach out with any questions.
