Reminder: Call for contributions - Living Book about History
by Enrico Natale 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, ‘Living Books about History <https://www.livingbooksabouthistory.ch/en/>’ is a diamond open access collection of digital anthologies on current research topics. Each volume will feature an essay written by the editors as well as a selection of annotated texts and research resources. These contributions may include online resources such as open access articles, images, films, websites, or sound recordings. ‘Living Books about History’ showcases noteworthy and hitherto neglected scientific publications and sources on current topics. The selection made by the editors serves as a filter that distinguishes remarkable contributions from the mass of information available online. The project aims to reinforce the principles of ‘Open Science’. The 12 volumes published to date are available online, in both English and a second language. See for instance Toward an Expanded History of Television <https://www.livingbooksabouthistory.ch/en/book/towards-an-expanded-history-…>, Histories of the Internet and the Web <https://livingbooksabouthistory.ch/en/book/histories-of-the-internet-and-th…>, Women, Gender and Computing <https://livingbooksabouthistory.ch/en/book/women-gender-and-computing> or Material Histories of Paper <https://livingbooksabouthistory.ch/en/book/material-histories-of-paper> Types of Proposals Expected: infoclio.ch <http://infoclio.ch/> is launching a new series of ‘Living Books about History’ in 2026. The collection publishes research primarily in the field of historical sciences but welcomes diverse perspectives from other disciplinary fields. Proposals may address a variety of topics, without chronological, or geographical restrictions. The selected sources and scientific papers shed light on the respective research topics from different perspectives. ‘Living Books about History’ can have different objectives, such as providing a historiographical overview of a research trend, defining the contours of a new area of study, offering an introduction to a topic, illustrating different ways of interpreting a specific corpus of sources, or analyzing the challenges of a paradigm shift. Format of ‘Living Books about History’: Each volume consists of an original introduction of 20,000 to 40,000 characters and a selection of 20 to 30 resources already available online, accompanied by a brief commentary. Each volume is assigned a DOI and an ISBN. Submission of Proposals: This call for proposals is open to advanced researchers. We welcome proposals for volumes in the form of an abstract of no more than 4,000 characters outlining the theme and focus of the project, 2-3 examples of online resources to be included in the anthology, and a short CV of the editors. Proposals may be submitted in English, French, or German. The deadline for submitting proposals is March 20, 2026. Notification of accepted proposals will be sent on April 2, 2026. Please send proposals by email to: livingbooks(a)infoclio.ch <mailto:[email protected]> Accepted anthologies will be published during the summer and fall of 2026. The costs of editing and online publication will be covered in full by infoclio.ch <http://infoclio.ch/> (Diamond Open Access). If the text is written in a language other than English, editors are invited to participate in fundraising for translation.

Cf-Participation: HISEMOTIONS at IberLEF 2026
by Patricia M.Rodilla 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

[Sorry for cross-posting] HISEMOTIONS 2026 focuses on emotion detection in Early Modern Spanish epistolary texts (16th–17th centuries). Unlike most existing emotion detection tasks that target modern languages or contemporary genres (e.g., social media, reviews), this challenge explores historical linguistic variation and semantic shift, raising a new challenge for NLP systems. Participants are tasked with developing systems that automatically identify emotional content in fragments of historical Spanish letters, addressing issues such as diachronic language variation, historical semantic shifting, and domain adaptation. The shared task aims to foster methodological progress at the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Digital Humanities. 🔗 *Task page / resources*: https://github.com/albinasarymsakova/HISEMOTIONS_2026 https://github.com/albinasarymsakova/HISEMOTIONS_2026?utm_source=chatgpt.com ------------------------------ Why Participate? - Advance emotion detection methods in low-resource and historical domains. - Explore semantic change effects on automatic classification. - Benchmark systems on a novel historical dataset with expert human annotation. - Cutting-edge research into the computational study of cultural heritage. ------------------------------ Shared Task Details Task: Multi-label emotion detection Each text fragment should be labelled with one or more of the following emotions: • joy • sadness • fear • anger • surprise • hope Participants will predict binary labels for each emotion per fragment. Systems will be evaluated against hidden gold labels using standard metrics such as precision, recall, and macro-F1 score. ------------------------------ Important Dates Task announcement February 9, 2026 Development data release February 12, 2026 Training data release March 12, 2026 Test data release & evaluation start March 27, 2026 Deadline for system submissions April 30, 2026 Official results published May 4, 2026 System description papers due May 20, 2026 Review notification June 19, 2026 Camera-ready papers due July 1, 2026 IberLEF Workshop (presentations) September 22, 2026 ------------------------------ Contact & Submission For updates, questions, or discussions about the task, please open issues in the task GitHub repository or contact the organisers.

Call for Papers for a Special Issue on "Digital Philosophy" in the Open Access Journal Philosophy & Digitality
by Geiger, Jonathan 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

Dear colleagues, Sorry for crossposting. We are very happy to introduce our Call for Papers for a Special Issue in Philosophy & Digitality to you. This Special Issue has a focus on "Scope and limits of digital methods within philosophy (and text-oriented humanities)": The impact of digital methods (including the Digital Humanities) in philosophy and further text-oriented areas can be welcomed as a promise of computational enhancement, it can be felt as ‘sting of the digital’ (Krämer 2025) or can be critically interpreted as a positivistic displacement of the traditional humanities. We have—to some extent—small knowledge about the philosophy and theory of the digital. But what do we know about doing philosophy under the methodological conditions of digitality—including or excluding methods of the Digital Humanities? This Special Issue aims to bring four perspectives together under the general heading of “Digital Philosophy”: 1. Is there a praxeology of philosophy done digitally yet? What are concrete applications of computational methods towards genuinely philosophical research questions? 2. What is the current state of the critical epistemological discussion of digital methods in philosophy and text-oriented humanities? 3. What about the role of digital research infrastructures and working environments as prerequisites of discovery and knowledge? 4. What are the changing necessities of digital skills and competences used in philosophy and text-oriented disciplines? Of special interest is the correlation between these aspects. You can find more information about the CfP here: https://journals.ub.uni-koeln.de/index.php/phidi/announcement/view/67 Also, you can find more information about the Open Access Journal Philosophy & Digitality here: https://journals.ub.uni-koeln.de/index.php/phidi. If you are interested in contributing to our Special Issue on Digital Philosophy, please send your name, the title of your paper, an abstract of about 200 words and the area you would like to address (1. application of digital methods, 2. critical theoretical inquiries to these methods, 3. digital infrastructures, 4. data literacy) to the editorial team of the Special Issue: Sybille Krämer (sybkram(a)zedat.fu-berlin.de<mailto:[email protected]>), Christian Schröter (christian.schroeter(a)abk-stuttgart.de<mailto:[email protected]>) and Jonathan D. Geiger (jonathan.geiger(a)adwmainz.de<mailto:[email protected]>) until 15th of April 2026. We will get in touch if your contribution will be accepted for the Special Issue. The deadline for the papers (with 2,500 to 6,000 words in length) will then be 30th of September 2026. The publication of the Special Issue is scheduled as a rolling publication for the very end of this year and the beginning of 2027. If you have any questions regarding the call, please don't hesitate to get in touch! We are looking very much forward to your contributions. Thank you and best wishes, Sybille Krämer, Christian Schröter & Jonathan D. Geiger
