CFP: 9th Workshop on Visualization for the Digital Humanities
by Eva Mayr 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, We're happy to announce the call for papers for the VIS4DH workshop co-located with the IEEE VIS Conference in Vienna, Austria! The VIS4DH workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from the fields of visualization and the humanities to discuss new research directions at the intersection of visualization and (digital) humanities research. This year, you can contribute to VIS4DH 2025 in two ways - you can submit to the workshop's Paper track, or you can submit to the Agora track, which calls for provocations, artworks, work in progress, or lab talks. Our call for submissions is open to all fields of the (digital) humanities and social sciences, and to all areas of visualization research and practice. The workshop is intended to put different ways of seeing, knowing, articulating, and transforming arguments into dialogue in order to foster and intensify collaborations between humanities and visualization researchers. While the workshop theme for VIS4DH'25 remains open to all submissions exploring the intersection of the humanities and visualization, we especially invite contributions related to the theme Visualizing Peace and Conflict as a response to the global increase of violence and armed conflict (see https://ucdp.uu.se/encyclopedia) At the same time, however, submissions do not need to focus explicitly on conflict between warring parties. We also encourage submissions related to ideological, civil, social, environmental, or epistemic conflicts and the potential for their resolution to address a broader theme/trend of intensified division worldwide. The topic aims to bring together researchers in international relations, peace & conflict resolution, sociology, anthropology, digital humanities, and visualization to present and discuss how research approaches in these areas can critically inform one another and contribute to new ways of studying conflict and its peaceful resolution. Besides general contributions at the intersection of visualization and (digital) humanities that provide theoretical and/or applied perspectives, with this year's theme, we invite work around (but not limited to) the following questions: * How can visualization techniques make cultural phenomena which are substantially structured or driven by tensions, antagonisms, controversies, or conflicts visible and negotiable? * How can visualization tools be designed to inform or support the resolution of conflicts? * What visual strategies can be employed to highlight how political conflicts frequently translate into representational or interpretive conflicts (e.g., generating contested or conflicting descriptions, datasets, framings, rhetorics, or other design choices)? * What role do disagreements play in collaborative research and visualization processes, and how might those be productively visualized rather than resolved or hidden? Submission Deadlines Paper Track: 30 June 2025, 23:59 AoE Agora Track: 22 August 2025, 23:59 AoE Please, visit the workshop website on https://vis4dh.dbvis.de for more information. The organizing committee looks forward to your contributions and to lively discussions in Vienna Alfie Abdul-Rahman, Mark-Jan Bludau, Eva Mayr, Monika Schwarz, & Tomas Vancisin vis4dh(a)gmail.com _______________ Dr. Eva Mayr Department für Kunst- & Kulturwissenschaften Universität für Weiterbildung Krems www.donau-uni.ac.at/eva.mayr/<http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/eva.mayr/> +43 2732 893 2324

Reminder: Bielefeld guest lectures in Computational Literary Studies/Cultural Studies/Computational Linguistics/Digital Linguistics/Open Science
by Berenike Herrmann 03 Jun '25

03 Jun '25

Dear all, (with apologies for cross-postings), This summer term, the Bielefeld research colloquium “LiLi revisited: Digital Interface Research between Literary Studies and Linguistics" and the Bielefeld “Computational/Digital Linguistics Work Group Meeting” (H. Buschmeier/S. Zarrieß) will another guest lecture that I would like to draw your attention to. June 10: Prof. Dr. David Bamman (Berkeley): Measuring Representation and Linguistic Variation in Hollywood The lecture is public and can be attended in person and via zoom. The talk will not be recorded. David Bamman (Berkeley) Measuring Representation and Linguistic Variation in Hollywood Movies are a massively popular and influential form of media, but their computational study at scale has largely been limited due to the availability of data. In this talk, I'll discuss our efforts to build a collection of 2,307 films representing the top 50 movies by U.S. box office over the period 1980 to 2022, along with award nominees. Building this collection allows us to carry out several large-scale computational studies of film; I'll discuss our work measuring changing patterns in the representation of gender and race/ethnicity over the past 43 years (where we see an increase in diversity over the past decade) and in leveraging it to model variation in emotional performances and choice of adverbial intensifiers over both narrative and historical time. This work illustrates a new frontier of the data-driven analysis of film at a large scale. When: June 10 2025, 10-12 hs Where: Hybrid. Bielefeld University, Lecture Hall CITEC 1.204 and Zoom Zoom link: https://uni-bielefeld.zoom-x.de/j/64995938421?pwd=VzH0WHjA5I1LaLsGQeB2wJuvB… We are looking forward to a vivid discussion!
