CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Bridging Sociological Studies in the Digital Age
by Andrea Farina 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

DEADLINE EXTENSION The Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London is pleased to host the international conference Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Bridging Sociological Studies in the Digital Age on 11 June 2024. The conference will be in-person only and will take place in London, at King’s College London Strand Campus (WC2R 2LS), where the Department of Digital Humanities is based. The event aims to foster discussions and collaborations across various disciplines, specifically including Natural Language Processing (NLP), Social Sciences, and Social Media and Digital Methods in broader research in Digital Humanities. In an era defined by unprecedented connectivity and vast digital datasets, the intersection of NLP, Social Sciences, and Social Media alongside Digital Methods sparks a profound dialogue, reshaping our understanding of human behavior and societal dynamics within vast digital ecosystems. NLP emerges as a transformative force, equipping computers with the ability to comprehend, interpret, and generate human language, bridging the gap between digital data and human insights. This integration with Social Sciences fosters a multidisciplinary framework, enabling nuanced analyses of cultural phenomena, societal trends, and individual behaviors within digital realms. Concurrently, Social Media platforms emerge as dynamic arenas, offering real-time glimpses into human interactions, preferences, and sentiments, thus serving as invaluable sources for both NLP-driven research and social science inquiry. Through this interconnected dialogue, researchers navigate the complexities of the digital landscape, uncovering layers of meaning and driving innovation at the nexus of technology, social sciences, and digital methods. The conference will feature keynote speakers for each of the its main thematic areas: Andrea Nini (Manchester University) for Linguistics and NLP, Chiara Amini (UCL) for Social Sciences, and Tim Highfield (University of Sheffield) for Social Media and Digital Methods. They will offer insights into the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions within their respective fields, enriching the interdisciplinary dialogue and inspiring attendees to explore innovative avenues at the intersection of sociological studies and the digital age. For this conference, we invite submissions of abstracts in English focusing on the intersection of sociological studies and the digital age. Abstracts should be tailored for presentations lasting 20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes allotted for questions. We particularly welcome submissions in the following areas or any intersection between them: 1. NLP 2. Social Sciences 3. Social Media and Digital Methods We encourage submissions from researchers, scholars, practitioners, and postgraduate researchers who are exploring innovative approaches, methodologies, and findings within these domains. Submission Guidelines: * Abstracts should not exceed 300 words in length. * Abstracts should include the name of the author(s) and their affiliation(s). * Abstracts should clearly outline the research objectives, methodology, and, possibly, anticipated contributions to the field. * Abstracts must be submitted via email to andrea.farina[at]kcl.ac.uk by 1st May 2024. Please write “ABSTRACT Interdisciplinary Perspectives Conference” as the object of your email. * Please indicate the preferred topic area for your presentation (NLP, Social Sciences, Social Media and Digital Methods). * Notification of acceptance: 10 May 2024. For inquiries and further information, please contact Andrea Farina at andrea.farina[at]kcl.ac.uk.

CFP SRDH-Doctoral Symposium Unige e Unito 2024
by Andrea Marra 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

CON INVITO A DIFFONDERE CALL FOR PAPERS (S)oggetto della ricerca Prospettive critiche e intersezioni nelle Digital Humanities DH DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM UNIGE-UNITO 2024 20-21 Maggio 2024 (Genova, Italia) - English below - 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. ———————— Studios* interessat* potranno sottoporre a revisione abstract anonimizzati e originali di massimo 500 parole (bibliografia esclusa) in formato pdf tramite la piattaforma easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=srdh2024 entro e non oltre il 26 marzo 2024. Si richiede ai candidati di fornire un titolo del contributo, un massimo di 5 keywords e una breve biobibliografia. Sono ammessi contributi in lingua inglese, francese o italiana. La durata massima per ciascun intervento sarà di 15 minuti. La partecipazione al convegno è gratuita. I contributi accettati saranno raccolti e pubblicati successivamente alla conferenza in un volume edito dalla Genova University Press. ——————— Keynote speakers: Chris Biemann (Hamburg University) Paola Ciandrini (Chiesi.

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. ——————— Keynote speakers: Chris Biemann (Hamburg University) Paola Ciandrini (Chiesi.

WG: Einladung zur Taskforce "Sprachregelung Konferenz"
by Wagner, Cosima 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

Liebe Multilingual DH AG-Mitglieder, heute leite ich Euch im Auftrag des AG-Convenor-Teams eine Anfrage aus dem DHd-Vorstand weiter. Es geht um die Überarbeitung von Regeln zur Multilingualität auf DHd-Konferenzen. Hier hatten wir ja in diesem Jahr mit unserer AG ja bereits eine Erweiterung der Sprache für Einreichungen von Konferenzbeiträgen auch in englischer Sprache einbringen können. Leider sind wir im Convenor-Team aus verschiedenen Gründen in den kommenden 3 Monaten sehr ausgelastet und können uns daher hier nicht in zusätzlichen Sitzungen einbringen. Wir wollten auf diesem Wege aber nachfragen, ob es evtl. 1 oder 2 Mitglieder aus der AG gäbe, die ggf. zusammen (abwechselnd?) an der „Taskforce“ als Vertretung für unsere Multilingual DH AG teilnehmen könnten? Das wäre großartig!! Bitte meldet Euch sobald wie möglich dazu, damit wir Rabea und dem Vorstand Rückmeldung geben können. Herzlichen Dank im Voraus für die Unterstützung und einen schönen 1. Advent! Cosima für das Convenor-Team Von: Rabea Kleymann <rabea.kleymann(a)phil.tu-chemnitz.de> Gesendet: Dienstag, 28.

In der DHd-Community rückt die Diskussion um eine gemeinsame Wissenschaftssprache immer wieder in den Fokus. Wir hatten jüngst unter anderem im Kontext Eures Diskussionspapiers und den Handlungsempfehlungen darüber gesprochen. Der DHd-Vorstand plant daher die Einsetzung einer temporären Taskforce, die sich der Sprachregelung für DHd-Konferenzen widmet. Ziel dieser Taskforce ist es, die verschiedenen Optionen von Mono-, Zwei- und Mehrsprachigkeit zu beleuchten. Die Ergebnisse der Taskforce sollen in einem Konzept zur "Sprachregelung Konferenz" münden, über das auf der nächsten DHd-Mitgliederversammlung im Februar 2024 abgestimmt werden soll. In der Vergangenheit haben wir erfolgreich solche Abstimmungen, beispielsweise zum Thema "Reviewverfahren", durchgeführt. Der geplante zeitliche Rahmen der Taskforce erstreckt sich also über drei Monate. Ein erstes Arbeitstreffen soll im Dezember 2023 stattfinden: https://dud-poll.inf.tu-dresden.de/ToxAhmYOqw/ Die Perspektive der AG ist für die Arbeit der Taskforce besonders interessant. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn ein bis zwei Vertreter*innen aus der AG „Multilingual DH“ Ihre Erfahrungen und Expertisen in die Taskforce einbringen würden. Für weitere Rückfragen stehe ich zur Verfügung.
