CFP: ELO 2023 Coimbra (Jan 20; July 12-15, 2023)
by Alexandra Saum Pascual 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, The call for the 2023 Electronic Literature Organization Conference in Coimbra, Portugal is here! Please, help us spread the word. Looking forward to seeing you in Coimbra, Alex Link to the call https://eliterature.org/2022/11/cfp-elo-2023-coimbra-jan-20-july-12-15-2023/ pdf. also attached CFP: ELO 2023 COIMBRA (JAN 20; JULY 12-15, 2023) ELECTRONIC LITERATURE ORGANIZATION 2023 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND MEDIA ARTS SHOW *OVERCOMING DIVIDES: ELECTRONIC LITERATURE AND SOCIAL CHANGE* *JULY 12-15, 2023 – COIMBRA, PORTUGAL* Join us this summer for four days of digital art and scholarship at the ELO 2023 Conference and Media Arts Show in beautiful Coimbra, Portugal, the 12th to the 15th of July. The 2023 conference, “Overcoming Divides: Electronic Literature and Social Change,” advocates the dismantlement of economic, political, linguistic, and cultural barriers, focusing on the relation between art and society, as well as on the subversive potential of electronic literature. Art and literature compulsively respond to undergoing socio-political transformations. Whether overtly committed to social causes or inevitably engulfed by waves of change, writers and artists are influenced by dramatic shifts motivated by local or global issues such as climate change, economic crisis, military conflicts, and repressive or coercive government policies. The field of electronic literature, whose continuous reconfiguration is deeply intertwined with technological advancements, is no exception to this pattern. Equipped with the pervasiveness of network technology, as well as with software that can analyze and portray reality with the utmost detail, electronic literature is harnessed with adequate tools to voice environmental and social concerns and to expose oppressive and corrupt regimes. Highly experimental and focused on an introspective journey that aims to explore the creative amplitude of emerging technologies, electronic literature’s self-reflexive nature is also frequently mobilized to defy normative perspectives over literature and art, as well as to challenge deep-rooted cultural misconceptions. During this conference, we aim to explore how electronic literature uses its critical media approach, as well as its close affinity with computation, to assume a socially engaged stance. In a time when walls are being raised once again, this conference examines electronic literature’s role in the dismantlement of new and old barriers between people. ELO23 will be held in a national monument (Convento São Francisco), overlooking the University of Coimbra as well as Coimbra’s Uptown and Downtown areas, both designated World Heritage by UNESCO in 2013. Challenging the social asymmetry represented by the uptown/downtown divide, ELO23 will be extended from the university to the entire city center. Performances will be opened to the public, and exhibitions will take place at different locations in the city, thus integrating ELO Conference into Coimbra’s rich cultural life. Remote (online) participation will be limited to the scholarly dimension of the conference. We welcome scholarly and artistic proposals that explore a connection between electronic literature and the following themes, among others: · the role of literature in social change; · collaborative platforms and activist software; · digital humanities and memory preservation (archive); · environmental damage caused by digital technologies; · the impact of climate change; · language barriers, translation and linguistic diversity; · disabilities and accessibility; · mental health, trauma and cognitive diversity; · social and economic inequality; · digital literacy and societal transformation; · gender divide and identity diversity; · migrations and border enforcement; · hybridity, recombination and multilinearity as aesthetics of subversion; · documentary forms and nonfiction narrative. *ORGANIZERS *Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra (FLUC) *Partners and Sponsors *Center for Portuguese Literature (CLP) Instituto de Comunicação da NOVA (ICNOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa Programa de Doutoramento em Materialidades da Literatura, Universidade de Coimbra Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP) Câmara Municipal de Coimbra Exploratório – Centro Ciência Viva de Coimbra Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra Berkeley Center for New Media *HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS* All proposals will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process.

[Reminder & Extended Deadline: 15. Dec. 2022] Call for Abstracts - 3rd Workshop Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries - Munich, Germany - 27-28 March 2023
by Sander Münster 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

[cid:[email protected]] 3rd Workshop on Research and Education in Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries March 27-28, 2023, LMU, Munich, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS Submission deadline for extended abstracts (1500-2000 words): Extended Deadline: December 15th 2022 Event information: https://www.urbanhistory4d.org/wordpress/index.php/uhdl2023<https://www.urbanhistory4d.org/wordpress/index.php/uhdl2023/> Abstract Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023 Proceedings<https://link.springer.com/conference/uhdl> will be published with Springer-Nature in their Communications in Computer and Information Science series. We kindly invite you to submit a contribution to the 3rd workshop on “Research and education in urban history in the age of digital libraries”. The event will take place in Munich, Germany on March 27-28, 2023. DESCRIPTION Urban and architectural history are key areas in digital humanities and digital heritage. With respect to these research areas, digital repositories, data and research methods play an important role, especially when hosting visual media like photographs, paintings, or drawings, and last but not least physical and virtual models. Due to the wide field of possible research, different approaches, methods and technologies have emerged – and are still emerging. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a full picture with regards to epistemics, technology and framework conditions. We aim to discuss crucial challenges for further research and encourage exchange and debate. We would like to invite contributions on theoretical and methodological issues, application scenarios and projects, as well as novel approaches and tools. This includes the following five areas: 1. Theory, Methods, and Systematization 2. Data handling and data schemes 3. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence 4. Visualization and Presentation 5. Education in urban history To this cause, we are seeking original and innovative contributions in theoretical and practical applications on Digital Cultural Heritage. TOPICS Theory, Methods, and Systematization Digital humanities research as an inherently interdisciplinary field has created a high demand for critically reflected methods, techniques, valid strategies, classifications, and quality standards. But do computing methods also lead to new and ground-breaking research questions, approaches, or insights into architectural and urban cultural heritage research? In most cases, the use of computing simply extends nondigital possibilities, without much change to the pre-digital approaches and research questions. Nevertheless, digitalization has dramatically altered research qualities, quantities, and workflows. We welcome contributions on: 1. relevant data for architectural and urban history in digital archives and image repositories 2. the effects of the use of digital archives and image repositories on scholarly work 3. concepts and projects for networking and cooperation 4. possible research questions regarding objects, spaces, content or historical events Data handling and data schemes The immense effort invested in digitization and rapid changes in technologies and formats has greatly increased the importance of data standards. Long-term data storage, availability of models and the interoperability of data formats are major challenges to existing digital infrastructures. We welcome contributions on: 1. 3D databases as a tool to support urban historical research 2. Metadata and paradata 3. Remote sensing approaches to support contextualization and intuitive access to data 4. Linked and semantic data related to urban historical research 5. the influence of knowledge of HCI on the design of historic models Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence During the past few years, various new technological opportunities have arisen from big data, Semantic Web technologies, and the exponential growth in data accessible via digital libraries such as EUROPEANA. Data-driven supervised and unsupervised classification approaches have been used to acquire high-level semantic concepts, especially from the interconnection of different types of data. Interdisciplinary collaborations between computer science and humanities disciplines are essential in developing methods and workflows to enable cultural heritage research to exploit machine learning approaches. We welcome contributions on: 1. use cases and best practices of applied machine learning in digital humanities research 2. novel approaches e.g., (semi-) automatic photogrammetric reconstruction of historical buildings from image databases Visualization and Presentation Historians in cultural heritage research today are enabled to explore new research directions due to the availability of multitudes of digitized historical photographs in image repositories. Moreover, novel approaches such as the photogrammetric reconstruction of historical buildings from image databases allow for contextualization and intuitive access to data. Typical motivations for accessing these archives and repositories are scientific research, pedagogical applications, and the study of historical sites. These areas require advances in methods for visualization and presentation of data to support the different target groups. We welcome contributions on: 1. Projects and investigations from urban history concerned with visualizations and presentation of spatial and/or scholarly data 2. Research scenarios for scholars using visualizations of urban history data 3. Interdisciplinarity, e.g. intersections between digital cultural heritage and (sustainable) tourism studies Education in urban history Education and support by digital libraries still only plays a minor role in scholarly discourses on cultural heritage and in particular urban history. There is still no broad consensus on specific education paradigms or a canon of didactic settings in digitally supported teaching on urban history, and as yet no larger studies have been conducted in this area. We welcome contributions on: 1. educational scenarios for teaching urban history supported by digital methods 2. approaches to employing large scale repositories for educational purposes in cultural history 3. the design of virtual experiences as e.g. city tours SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Please submit an extended abstract of 1500-2000 words in PDF format by December 15th 2022 (Extended Deadline) via the electronic upload submission procedure on the EasyChair website<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023>.

Formats For DH Benelux 2023, we welcome five types of proposals: (1) long papers; (2) short papers; (3) posters; (4) application and tool demonstrations; and (5) workshops. Abstracts should clearly state the title of the presentation and the names and affiliations of the authors and the presenters. If applicable, please include your Twitter username and ORCID. Please indicate for which category (or categories) of presentation you are submitting your proposal. The word length is dependent on the proposal type, see details below. References and/or bibliography are excluded from the word count. The reviewers will take word length into account. Proposals may contain graphics and illustrations. - Long papers (abstracts of 1000-1500 words, paper presentation 20 mins + 10 mins for discussion) are suitable for presenting empirical work, theorizing, cross- and multidisciplinary work, research methods and concise theoretical arguments. The research presented in a long paper should be completed or in the final stages of development. The research’s stage of completion must be clearly stated in the abstract. - Short papers (abstracts of 750-1000 words, paper presentation 10 mins + 5 mins for discussion) are well-suited for reporting on early stage and ongoing research, as well as new project presentations, technical details and the results of practical experimentation and proof of concepts. - Posters (abstracts of 500-750 words) are particularly suited for detailed technical explanations and clarifications, and for the show and tell of projects and research alike. - Demonstrations (abstracts of 500-750 words) of prototypes, work-in-progress or finished software, hardware technology, tools, datasets, digital publications and so forth. Demonstrations take place in parallel to poster sessions, and are meant to be interactive. - Workshops (abstracts of 1000-1500 words) are self-organized tracks running parallel to the main program, on the first day of the conference. Workshop proposals are welcome on relevant topics and/or innovative approaches/tools/techniques. Workshops can be organized to run in hybrid, in-person or fully virtual mode, at the discretion of the organizers. The abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the DH Benelux 2023 Programme Committee and published on the DH Benelux 2023 website. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full research article for the DH Benelux Journal. A separate call for journal submissions will be made after the conference. Submission Submission via Easychair will be made available here as soon as possible. Disclaimer: the DH Benelux 2023 conference is not hybrid. Organizers will arrange an option for online attendance, but minimally one speaker per submission is required to attend in person to present.

Survey on social justice and ethical research in the digital humanities

21 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We are developing a new course for #dariahTeach <https://teach.dariah.eu> on the topic of social justice and ethical research in the digital humanities, funded by DARIAH EU. We are keen to cast our net widely to get an overview of what digital humanities projects and research has been or is being undertaken in this space. We would be very interested in learning of your digital scholarship in the area of social justice broadly conceived, including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, religion, indigenous peoples rights and interests, postcolonial, and decolonial research. We are interested in both project-based scholarship as well as more traditional publications. To this end, we have developed a survey that should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete to gather information from the community. We plan on converting the survey to a registry within the #dariahTeach course so the wider DH community can also have an overview of scholarship in this area. We would appreciate your filling up the survey by 30 November to have the possibility of having your research integrated into the course. The URL for the survey is https://forms.gle/N756a7BnBV2MQcYZA If you have any questions about the development of the course, please email socialjusticeDT(a)gmail.com<mailto:[email protected]> With best wishes Susan Schreibman (University of Maastricht, Netherlands) Marianne Huang (Aarhus University, Denmark) Koraljka Kuzman Šlogar (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Croatia) Costas Papadopoulos (Maastricht University, Netherlands) Walter Scholger (University of Gratz, Austria)
