ESU DH C&T 2-12 August 2022 Leipzig: Extension of the application phase
by Europaeische Sommeruniversitaet-Kulturen und Technologien 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

12th EUROPEAN SUMMER UNIVERSITY IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES "CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY" - 2nd to 12th August 2022 UNIVERSITY OF LEIPZIG (https://esu.fdhl.info/) We have received (more than) 10 applications for quite some workshops. As we can still accept a few applications and as we have still a number of scholarships left (https://esu.fdhl.info/support/) we herewith extend the application (https://esu.fdhl.info/application/) phase for a place at the European Summer University in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology” to 16. June 2022 (midnight). The 12th edition of the European Summer University, organised by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Burr, Institut für Romanistik, and her team, together with the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig (FDHL) (https://fdhl.info/) takes place in person from the 2nd to the 12th August 2022 at the University of Leipzig. Its intensive programme consists of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. For the following Workshops we can still accept single applications (for more information on the workshops see: https://esu.fdhl.info/workshops/) - Alex Bia (University Miguel Hernández, Elche, Spain): XML-TEI document encoding, structuring, rendering and transformation (2 weeks) - Carol Chiodo (Harvard University, USA) / Lauren Tilton (University of Richmond, USA): Hands on Humanities Data Workshop - Creation, Discovery and Analysis (2 weeks) - Maciej Eder (Polish Academy of Sciences / Pedagogical University, Cracow, Poland) / Jeremi Ochab (Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland): Stylometry (2 weeks) - Stefan Th. Gries (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA / Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany): Text processing for linguists and literary scholars with R (1 week, week 2). - Peter Bell (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany) / Fabian Offert (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA): Visual Artificial Intelligence for the Digital Humanities (2 weeks) - Jason Boyd (Ryerson University Toronto, Canada): Procedural Creativity and Digital Humanities Scholarship (1 week, week 2) - Barbara Bordalejo (University of Lethbridge, Canada) / Peter Robinson (University of Saskatchewan, Canada): Making an edition of a text in many versions (2 weeks) - Jason Boyd (Ryerson University Toronto, Canada): Project Planning and Management in the Digital Humanities (1 week, week 1) Each workshop consists of a total of 18 sessions or 36 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The "workload" of an active participation in the European Summer University corresponds to 6 ETCS points. The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based co-operations. The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives etc., but because it tries to integrate these technologies, methods and tools with the questions Digital Humanities pose about the consequences and implications of their application to cultural artefacts of all kinds. It is special furthermore because it consciously aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide, i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany, Europe and many parts of the world, by relying on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the borders between the so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology”: https://esu.fdhl.info which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available. If you would like to know what the structure of the programme will most probably look like then please see here https://esu.culintec.de/?q=node/1163 or here https://esu.culintec.de/?q=node/1033 With my best regards Prof. (em.)

Multimodal Digital Oral History: The Forward-View Seminar
by Metilli, Daniele 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Multimodal Digital Oral History: The Forward-View Seminar If the first “digital turn” in oral history was largely a passive affair, concerned with the online dissemination of retro-digitised and born digital oral history recordings, what might the incipient “sound as data” turn herald? What gains and losses might result from data-driven enquiries of oral history interviews as sonic or multimodal artefacts, individually or at scale? Which digital tools, processes and platforms can best be utilized in the data-driven analysis of oral history as sonic and multimodal artefact? What rationale and ethical commitments should guide processes of tool selection and creation for this work? What new research questions and trans-disciplinary collaborations may follow? And what are the implications for oral history of participating in this research, as may be illuminated through the emerging sub-field of digital hermeneutics? This seminar series takes as its jumping off point, that the time is right to pursue a Multimodal Digital Oral History, or one that engages with oral history artefacts in all their representational modalities: transcript, sound, waveform, metadata and more. Accordingly, it features papers that explore any of the questions posed above, and in doing so contribute to the task of imagining a Multimodal Digital Oral History turn, where the digital is active rather than passive; where digital oral history modalities are positioned as analytical categories of inquiry and also as sites of data-driven analysis; where reflexivity is a core aspect of digitally-mediated research; and as an endeavour that nevertheless remains attuned to oral history as a subjective and intersubjective meaning-making process, situated in space, time, culture and technology. Convened by: Andrew Flinn (UCL) & Julianne Nyhan (TU Darmstadt/UCL) A joint virtual seminar co-hosted by the Centre for Critical Heritage Studies UCL; the Chair of Humanities Data Science and Methodology, TU Darmstadt, Germany; the International Centre for Archives and Records Management Research, UCL; and the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities.

Call for Proposals: Working on and with Categories for Text Analysis (DHQ Special Issue)
by Gius, Evelyn 05 May '22

05 May '22

[with apologies for cross-posting] Call for Proposals DHQ Special Issue Working on and with Categories for Text Analysis: Challenges and Findings from and for Digital Humanities Practices Guest Editors: Dominik Gerstorfer, Evelyn Gius and Janina Jacke Proposals due: 2022-06-15 Link to the full CfP and Timeline: http://dhq.fortext.org/ <http://dhq.fortext.org/> Introduction In the digital humanities, computational social sciences and related fields, the development and use of category systems (e.g. ontologies, taxonomies or typologies) plays an important role in the systematization and analysis of texts. Categories allow for the linguistic labeling of texts or (textual) phenomena, as well as for their combination or differentiation based on selected relevant features. By selecting suitable parameters for grouping, categories usually allow for a systematic reduction of complexity and the ordering of complex textual artifacts and data sets, which in turn considerably facilitates both their analysis and the communication of analysis results. At the same time, category systems offer the possibility of a detailed text systematization or description through the formation of subcategories. If category systems are created as ontologies or taxonomies, they can additionally provide information about the relationship of relevant (text) phenomena to each other. Moreover, since the creation of categories usually requires the specification of explicit definitions of terms or categories, the scholarly exchange of information on subjects in the humanities, cultural studies, or social sciences is greatly facilitated – among other things, through easier understanding and better comparability of statements. While work on and with categories in the traditional humanities remains the exception rather than the rule and is limited to certain sub-disciplines, it is omnipresent in the digital humanities due to the influence of standards from the formal sciences. This omnipresence of category-system development in the digital humanities is in stark contrast to the lack of systematic reflection in this field of research. This concerns questions as: Which categories or which types of category systems are appropriate for (certain) objects in the humanities? What determines the validity and fruitfulness of categories in this field? Which – existing or new – procedures can be used to develop and revise a category system? We invite contributions addressing these questions. While the work on and with categories used for text annotation and analysis is the one focus, a second focus is on systems and methods for the organization and classification of texts in the context of databases – as well as the connection between these two fields of work in which category systems play a role. This also includes work on ontologies or the establishment and revision of systems for text analyses from information science, as well as mathematical category theory, which has already been successfully applied to knowledge representation and management in the natural sciences. Contributions should be based on concrete studies in the field of the digital humanities and related fields or provide an information science perspective that has been, or can be, adapted in the digital humanities. Contributions about concrete studies should address one or more of the following questions: Through which steps did the development of the analysis concepts used in the analysis take place? Who was involved and when? Were existing categories used or developed further? Which development steps were defined in advance, which ones resulted from the process? Was the type of category system to be developed – e.g. ontology, taxonomy, typology or network of concepts – defined? Why was this form chosen? Were there problems with the categories? Which adjustments of the categories or the development process were necessary? To what extent and, if applicable, how was the development of the analysis categories documented? What recommendations can be derived from experience for similar approaches to category development? How does the procedure relate to non-digital procedures that are common in the original discipline? Contributions from an information science perspective should address one or more of the following questions: Which aspects of the work done in computer science concerning ontology languages, methodologies, development environments and tools (for visualization, documentation and validation) can fruitfully be applied to the field of digital humanities/social sciences? What are the prerequisites for an application of such computer science or mathematics approaches for working with categories in text analyses? In which way might the adaptation of computer science research on category development to other fields pose difficulties? What are possible solutions? How can these approaches be implemented in concrete research (i.e., use cases from the humanities/social sciences)?

Call for papers (conference): On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities, 15-16 December 2022

On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities Senate House, University of London London, UK, December 15-16, 2022 https://easychair.org/cfp/Margins22 Since its early days as a series of experimental approaches, the Hypertext paradigm has proven itself vital in dealing with what Ted Nelson called “deep structural changes in the arrangements of ideas and phenomena.” Whether we conceive of Hypertext as non-sequential writing that branches and allows choices to the reader, or as a body of written or pictorial material interconnected in such a complex way that it could not conveniently be represented on paper, thinking in Hypertext has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. In our research lives, Hypertext technologies and methodologies are similarly amongst the most prominent and visible outcomes of the “digital age.” Mature products of its investigation by research communities can be found in the work of Electronic Literature scholars and practitioners, Hypertext and Hypermedia specialists, and researchers in the Digital Humanities. However, owing perhaps to their disparate angles of investigation and the sheer scope of activity, these research communities remain fragmented and somehow “on the margins” of wider Humanities and Computer Science scholarship. We invite members of the Hypertext, Electronic Literature and Digital Humanities communities, including PhD and Early Career Researchers, to come together for a two-day conference reflecting on how Hypertext has shaped our research and creative practices, to build research opportunities between sympathetic communities, and to envision how to push the boundaries of Hypertext beyond its current incarnations. We want to inaugurate a space that will promote debate and connections, building new understanding at the crossroads between disciplines. We are planning to hold the conference in person, but can make arrangements to show pre-recorded presentations if you are unable to attend. Call for contributions * Potential topics include but are not limited to: * Studying digital reading experience * Describing “book history” for digital formats * Redefinitions of authorship and collaboration * New literary forms enabled by electronic literature * Multilingual and translingual digital texts and practices * Transmediality * Born-digital archives, genres and emerging formats * Digital scholarly editions * Approaches to digital inclusion * Pedagogy and hypertext applications * Social media * Experimental or early research Submission formats The conference will include three tracks: * Full papers (15-20 minutes) * Posters and Lightning talks (5-10 minutes; PGR and ECR contributions particularly welcome) * Tutorials for tools and demos * For full papers, we invite extended abstracts of 2,000-4,000 (4-8 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references. * For posters and lightning talks, we invite extended abstracts of 300-1,000 words (2-4 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references. * Accepted abstracts will be published in a peer-reviewed, Open Access volume in the Conference Proceedings of ACM series. * See this page for submission templates<https://chi2022.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-publication-forma…>; both Word and LaTeX formats available. The choice of the extended abstract format bridges practices between the Humanities and Hypertext communities, promoting the inclusion of scholars at different career stages and leaving a lasting legacy for the conference that can continue to benefit the research community. Please note that not all elements of the template will be relevant to all submissions. For tutorials, proposals should provide the following information: * title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the conference theme (not more than 1000 words); * full contact information for all tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement summarising their research interests and areas of expertise; * description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); * any special requirements for technical support * a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in approximately 2 hours, plus breaks Important dates * CfP opens 6 April 2022 * Paper, poster and workshop submission by 4 July 2022 * Acceptance by 5 September 2022 Confirmed Keynote speakers * Gustavo Gomez-Mejia (University of Tours) * James O’Sullivan (University College Cork) Conference programme committee * Alessio Antonini (Open University) * Francesca Benatti (Open University) * Sam Brooker (Richmond) * Christopher Ohge (School of Advanced Study, University of London) * Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study, University of London) * Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London)

24 Apr '22

12th EUROPEAN SUMMER UNIVERSITY IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES "CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY" - 2nd to 12th August 2022 UNIVERSITY OF LEIPZIG After one year without a European Summer University in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology” and another year with an online edition of the 11th ESU DH C&T, all this because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 12th edition of the Summer University will take place in Leipzig in person again, from the 2nd to the 12th August 2022. It will be organised by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Burr, Institut für Romanistik, and her team, together with the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig (FDHL) (https://fdhl.info/) As the new website (https://esu.fdhl.info) of ESU DH still needs updating, all information will be available temporarily on ESU’s previous website (https://esu.culintec.de/) The application phase for a place at the Summer University begins on 28 April 2022 and ends on 31 May 2022. Information on how to apply can be found here: http://esu.culintec.de/?q=node/1304. Interest in the ESU DH C&T can be expressed straight away by creating an account with the ConfTool of the Summer University https://www.conftool.org/esu2022/. As in former years the Summer University will take place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme will consist of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. The following workshops are offered (for more information see https://esu.culintec.de/?q=node/1342) - Alex Bia (University Miguel Hernández, Elche, Spain): XML-TEI document encoding, structuring, rendering and transformation (2 weeks) - Carol Chiodo (Harvard University, USA) / Lauren Tilton (University of Richmond, USA): Hands on Humanities Data Workshop - Creation, Discovery and Analysis (2 weeks) - Maciej Eder (Polish Academy of Sciences / Pedagogical University, Cracow, Poland) / Jeremi Ochab (Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland): Stylometry (2 weeks) - Stefan Th. Gries (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA / Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany): Text processing for linguists and literary scholars with R (1 week, week 2). - Simone Rebora (University of Basel, Switzerland) / Giovanni Pietro Vitali (Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University – Paris-Saclay University, France): Distant Reading in R. From Text Analysis to Mapping (2 weeks) - Peter Bell (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany) / Fabian Offert (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA): Visual Artificial Intelligence for the Digital Humanities (2 weeks) - Jason Boyd (Ryerson University Toronto, Canada): Procedural Creativity and Digital Humanities Scholarship (1 week, week 2) - Yael Netzer (Ben Gurion, Haifa and Tel Aviv University, Israel): Digital Archives: Reading and Manipulating Large-Scale Catalogues, Curating and Creating Small-Scale Archives (2 weeks) - Barbara Bordalejo (University of Lethbridge, Canada) / Peter Robinson (University of Saskatchewan, Canada): Making an edition of a text in many versions (2 weeks) - Jason Boyd (Ryerson University Toronto, Canada): Project Planning and Management in the Digital Humanities (1 week, week 1) Each workshop consists of a total of 18 sessions or 36 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The "workload" of an active participation in the European Summer University corresponds to 6 ETCS points. Like in former years the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) makes available generous support to up to 20 alumni / alumnae of German universities. As soon as other scholarships are confirmed, we will send out a separate announcement. The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based co-operations. The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives etc., but because it tries to integrate these technologies, methods and tools with the questions Digital Humanities pose about the consequences and implications of their application to cultural artefacts of all kinds. It is special furthermore because it consciously aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide, i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany, Europe and many parts of the world, by relying on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the borders between the so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology”: temporarily https://esu.culintec.de/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available. With my best regards and wishes Prof. (em.) Dr. phil. Elisabeth Burr Director of the European Summer University in Digital Humanities "Culture & Technology" University of Leipzig Beethovenstr. 15 D-04107 Leipzig https://home.uni-leipzig.de/burr/

This field of study is driven by current developments in AI, but also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. In addition, we need collaboration with areas such as HCI, cognitive and social sciences, philosophy & ethics, complex systems, and others. In this first international conference, we invite scholars from these fields to submit their best original, new as well as in progress, visionary and existing work on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. We welcome research on the different challenges in Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. The following list of topics is illustrative, not exhaustive. * Human-AI interaction and collaboration * Adaptive human-AI co-learning and co-creation * Learning, reasoning and planning with humans and machines in the loop * User modelling and personalisation * Integration of learning and reasoning * Transparent, explainable and accountable AI * Fair, ethical, responsible and trustworthy AI * Societal awareness of AI * Multimodal machine perception of real world settings * Social signal processing We welcome contributions about all types of technology, from robots and conversational agents to multi-agent systems and machine learning models. This first edition of Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence is organized by the Hybrid Intelligence Centre (https://www.hybrid-intelligence-centre.nl/ ) and the Humane-AI European Network (https://www.humane-ai.eu/ ) . Paper types In this conference, we wish to stimulate the exchange of novel ideas and interdisciplinary perspectives. To do this, we will accept three different types of papers: * Full papers present original, impactful work (12 pages excluding references) * Working papers present work in progress or new and visionary ideas (8 pages excluding. references) * Extended abstracts present existing, pre-published work (4 pages excluding references) Accepted full papers will be published in the Proceedings of the First International Conference on Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence, in the Frontiers of AI series by IOS Press. Abstracts of working papers and existing work can be included in these proceedings, unless the authors request the abstracts to remain unpublished. All accepted papers will receive a minimum slot for oral presentation of 15 minutes. Depending on the content and quality of the work, some papers will be selected for longer presentations. Location This will be an in-person, single-track conference, held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Pending local and global Covid measures at the time of the conference, we will provide options to attend virtually. The conference will be hosted at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Reviewing process & Submission guidelines Reviewing will be single anonymized, as we are welcoming existing work and references to previous work from the submitting authors. Submissions of full and working papers should be original work and ideas without substantial overlap with pre-published papers. Extended abstracts can present previously published work. On acceptance, at least 1 author should attend the conference. A significant contribution is expected from all authors. A justification of contributions in the paper is appreciated. All studies involving human participants should have received human-research ethics consent from the relevant institutions and mention this in the paper.

KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series - Computer Vision
by Isabelle Gribomont 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Dear Colleagues, [With apologies for cross-posting] KBR invites you to attend the KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series, in cooperation with ULB, UGent, VUB and UCL. In this virtual series running from February to June 2022, three scholars will present their work on image processing in the context of cultural heritage. Tuesday 22 February 2022 at 2 pm CET Thomas Smits, University of Antwerp, “The Visual Digital Turn: Computer Vision and the humanities” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/computer-vision-and-the-humanities/ Abstract Digital humanities research has focused primarily on the analysis of texts. However, digital and digitized sources also contain large numbers of images. Using several research projects as examples, I’ll discuss how scholars in the humanities can apply computer vision techniques in their research. Among other things, these new visual AI methods allow researchers to analyze patterns of (re)circulation of images, analyze patterns of media (use), analyze patterns in visual content at scale, analyze patterns of representations (gender/social class), analyze patterns in visual scenes and analyze patterns of visual style. In short, I’ll show how these techniques have opened up the visual side of the digital turn. Tuesday 15th March 2022 at 2 pm CET Apostolos Antonacopoulos, University of Salford, Manchester, UK “Understanding information-rich documents: experiences with historical England & Wales censuses” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/dhs-censuses/ Abstract In the Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRImA) research Lab, from the University of Salford, UK, great efforts have been devoted to the investigation and analysis of cultural heritage materials especially using image processing and pattern recognition techniques. In the last a few years, a series of large-scale projects, including IMPACT - Improving Access to Text, Europeana Newspapers, Succeed - Support Action Centre of Competence in Digitisation, EMPO - Early Modern OCR project and Census 1961 were being hosted by PRImA. In this talk, Prof. Antonacopoulos, the founder and leading professor of PRImA, will give his insights on the processing and exploitation of cultural heritage materials. A special focus will be given to the ongoing project of Census-1961, where the main objective is to extract and model historical population census information using computer vision techniques. Monday 11th April 2022 at 2 pm CET Clemens Neudecker, Berlin State Library, Berlin, Germany “New Tools for Old Documents – Layout Analysis and OCR with Deep Learning and Heuristics” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/dhs-layout-analysis/ Abstract This talk will discuss the main achievements and experiences of the QURATOR project at the Berlin State Library (SBB) for document layout analysis. Historical documents that are being digitized in large quantities by libraries and archives frequently exhibit a wide array of features that disturb layout analysis, such as complex layouts with multiple columns, drop capitals and illustrations, skewed or curved text lines, noise, annotations, etc. In order to deal with these challenges and defects, a robust document layout analysis was developed that is implemented by pixel-wise segmentation using convolutional neural networks. In addition, heuristic methods are applied to detect columns or marginalia, and to determine the reading order of text regions. A key objective lies in feeding the resulting outputs to subsequent processes like a text recognition (OCR) engine or an image similarity search. Practical information: These talks will be held, via Microsoft Teams, in English, with questions in French, Dutch or English. The target audience is scholars, but the general public is warmly welcome. Registration is free but mandatory: https://forms.gle/v4Cz4jgdQ1yb33zY6. You will be sent the link to the virtual meeting on the morning of the event. This series is co-organised by KBR’s growing research labs which includes: the Digital Research Lab, Data Science Lab, and the Digital Literary Lab in cooperation with Université libre de Bruxelles, Ghent University, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Université catholique de Louvain.

This is a free online event but advance registration at the following link is essential to be given access to the Zoom link:https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/events/event/25682. Tibet, Economic Development and the Affective Politics of Online State Media in the PRC - Séagh Kehoe (University of Westminster) Wednesday 26 January 2022, 4-5pm GMT Abstract: Chinese state media coverage about Tibet has long been dominated by stories about state-led economic growth. In recent years, the focus of these stories has shifted from macro-level descriptions of infrastructure, science and technology, income, and education, to a more granular approach that foregrounds dramatized and emotionalized narratives of individual Tibetans engaging in and reaping the benefits of economic development. Seeking to understand this trend, this paper examines the increasing production and circulation of affect in online state media stories about economic development in Tibet. Through a selection of texts, videos and social media posts, it analyses how and why repeated references to hardship, happiness and gratitude have come to characterize these stories and how they work to valorize Tibetan diligence, self-responsibility, and patriotism, obscure structural inequalities and consolidate Chinese rule over Tibet. In doing so, this paper shows the increasingly sophisticated and creative ways in which the state has harnessed the power of affect and new media to manage public opinion about Tibet in the PRC and reinforce political power. Speaker bio: Dr Séagh Kehoe is a Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Westminster. Their research interests include Chinese media representations of ethnicity and race, gender and sexuality, nationalism, and military. They have published in China Quarterly, positions, Media, Culture & Society, and Asian Ethnicity, and are co-editor of Cultural China: The Contemporary China Review 2020.
