Prospettive critiche e intersezioni nelle Digital Humanities

Le dottorande e i dottorandi del Dottorato in Digital Humanities del
Consorzio UniGe-UniTo invitano a presentare contributi in occasione del DH
Doctoral Symposium 2024 che si terrà il 20 e il 21 Maggio: (S)oggetto della
Ricerca. Prospettive Critiche e Intersezioni nelle Digital Humanities.
Il convegno interdisciplinare intende esplorare più in dettaglio il
concetto di “lack of cultural criticism” (Fiormonte 2012) e di “situated
knowledge” (Haraway 1988), nelle loro molteplici declinazioni nell’ambito
delle DH: in particolare, il ruolo attivo e incarnato del ricercatore, le
opportunità derivanti dall’applicazione delle tecnologie informatiche agli
studi umanistici e le sfide legate all’impiego di strumenti tecnologici,
solitamente considerati neutrali, ma che influenzano profondamente le
epistemologie e le pratiche degli studi umanistici.
Accogliamo prospettive provenienti dall’analisi storica e filologica
qualitativa e quantitativa, dalla critica culturale e dalle discipline
sociologiche, letterarie, artistiche e linguistiche supportate da approcci
digitali e computazionali. Si presterà attenzione alle egemonie
linguistiche, geografiche e culturali delle DH, ai grandi temi della
comunicazione e dell’informatica del dominio, ai bias introdotti dall’uso
esteso dei Large Language Models e alle complesse interazioni tra
intelligenza artificiale, pratiche e beni artistici e culturali, anche in
ottica di una didattica delle DH e/o attraverso i suoi strumenti.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Subjects of Research
Critical Perspectives and Intersections in the Digital Humanities
DH DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM UNIGE-UNITO 2024
20-21 May 2024 (Genoa, Italy)
PhD students enrolled in the Digital Humanities PhD course at the
Universities of Genoa and Turin invite you to send in your contributions to
participate in the DH Doctoral Symposium 2024, which will be held on 20-21
May 2024: Subjects of Research. Critical Perspectives and Intersections in
the Digital Humanities.
The interdisciplinary symposium aims to further explore the concepts of
“lack of cultural criticism” (Fiormonte 2012) and “situated knowledge”
(Haraway 1988), which have been conjugated in their multiple facets in the
field of DH. In particular, it will focus on the active and embodied role
of the researcher, on the opportunities created by the application of
Information Technology to the Humanities, and on the challenges presented
by the use of technological tools, that are usually considered neutral, but
which deeply influence the epistemologies and practices of the Humanities
themselves. We encourage perspectives drawn from qualitative and
quantitative historical and philological analysis, cultural criticism, and
sociological, literary, artistic and linguistic disciplines, supported by
digital and computational approaches. Attention will be paid to the
linguistic, geographical and cultural hegemonies of DH, to the major issues
of communication and the so-called “informatics of domination”, to the bias
introduced by the extended use of Large Language Models, and to the
complexity of interactions between Artificial Intelligence and artistic and
cultural heritages and practices. This last topic will also be considered
from the didactic perspective of DH and/or through its tools.
Interested scholars are invited to submit anonymised abstracts of a maximum
of 500 words (excluding bibliography) through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=srdh2024 by 26 March 2024 in PDF
format. Candidates will be asked to provide title, a maximum of 5 keywords
and a short bio-bibliography.
Papers can be written in English, French or Italian.
The maximum duration of each presentation will be 15 minutes. The
attendance at the conference is free of charge. Accepted papers will be
included after the conference in a volume published by Genova University
Press.

Dear Colleagues,
Hope this message finds you well. We are researchers from the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University Bloomington, USA. We are currently conducting a study that explores the motivations, practices, and critical assessments of digital humanities scholars’ adoption of Generative AI technologies in research, which includes but is not limited to tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E.
We would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in a survey, which can be accessed here: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9oY55R39337NHVk.
Your insights and experiences are invaluable to this study, and we would be grateful if you could spare 10-15 minutes of your time to participate in our survey. Please note that your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary, and you have the freedom to withdraw at any point during the survey without any consequences. Your responses will provide us with essential information that can help shape the future of digital humanities research in the context of emerging AI technologies.
This study has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board at Indiana University Bloomington (IRB #21946).
Thank you for your participation!
