CFP: Third Annual Immersive Technologies and Cultural Heritage (ITCH) Symposium
by Curtis Fletcher 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

We invite proposals for the third annual Immersive Technologies and Cultural Heritage (ITCH) Symposium, jointly organized by the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences; the Ahmanson Lab of the Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study in the USC Libraries; and the UCLA XR Initiative. The ITCH symposium will take place as a live, in-person event on Friday, November 14, at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. We seek innovative projects rooted in the humanities or humanistic social sciences that mobilize immersive technologies (including but not limited to augmented reality, mixed reality, virtual reality, photogrammetry, or 3D modeling) to enable close engagement with cultural heritage materials, or to open new possibilities for research, teaching, and learning with cultural heritage materials. We welcome work at any stage of development, with preference for projects that have at least completed a proof-of-concept, working prototype, or other early-stage exploratory development. We particularly seek projects working at the intersection of digital technologies and the liberal arts. In the interest of building a regional scholarly community, we will give priority to proposals from greater Southern California. Participants will: * Pre-circulate materials related to their current project two weeks prior to the symposium (e.g., a draft article, website, VR/AR experience, 3D model). * Give a 10-15-minute presentation summarizing their project’s context, goals, and implications for humanities scholarship at the symposium. * Offer comments, feedback, and questions on other participants’ projects. * Participate in a concluding roundtable discussion of the promise and perils of immersive technologies for humanities research, teaching, and learning. Workshop discussions will foreground humanities questions, interdisciplinary elements, and user experience in project development. To apply, send a single PDF document containing the project or presentation title; the name, title, and affiliation of each presenter; a 300-word abstract describing the project; any relevant URLs; and a one-page CV for each presenter to digitalhumanities(a)usc.edu<mailto:[email protected]> by end-of-day on Monday, October 13, 2025.

KCL DDH The Digital Conference • Call for papers
by Andrea Ballatore 23 Sep '25

23 Sep '25

KCL DDH The Digital Conference • CALL FOR PAPERS Digital Humanities Today: Critical Inquiry with and about the Digital (23-26 June 2026) From the 23rd to 26th June 2026, the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London will host an international conference exploring the evolving role of Digital Humanities in a world increasingly shaped by digital technologies. Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Centre for Computing Humanities officially becoming a department of KCL, and 15th anniversary of being renamed as Department of Digital Humanities in 2011, we welcome scholars from around the world to critically reflect on what ‘digital’ entails in today’s world. Digital technologies have transformed the ways we live, work, create, and connect. From online grassroots movements to open-source tools, from digital archives to experimental art and music created with code, the digital has become a vital part of how we express ourselves, tell stories, and shape our futures. In our daily lives, the digital enables new forms of community and care, especially for those historically excluded from institutional or geographic centres of power. But these same technologies have also raised urgent questions. There is a growing concern across various disciplines and communities. Recent political, environmental and technological developments have shown that we cannot afford to treat “the digital” as neutral. It is shaped by geographies, specificities, regulatory environments, sociocultural contexts, and linguistic hierarchies, which condition how digital technologies are produced, used, and experienced across the globe. From the resurgence of extremist ideologies and algorithmic manipulation of public discourse, to the exploitative dynamics of platform economies and the environmental costs of large-scale computing, the digital now permeates nearly every aspect of our lives. Artificial intelligence is being used against workers, stealing their creative outputs and triggering a race to the bottom of working conditions. In addition to the socio-political impact of generative AI models, the deleterious environmental effects are also becoming increasingly clear. At the same time, computational and digital methods have enabled new forms of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and public-facing humanities research. They are reshaping not only our methodological choices but also how we conceptualise methods themselves—prompting us to revisit questions of reliability and reproducibility. These methods offer powerful tools for analysis, visualisation, preservation, and dissemination, while also enriching humanities scholarship by scaling up our analyses and opening up new avenues of inquiry. Unlike the underlying code, “the digital” is never binary. This is why, more than ever, we need to come together to discuss and debate its implications. There is a long tradition of critical research on digital methods and other issues concerning “the digital” at King’s, dating back to the early 1970s. The Department of Digital Humanities, established as the Centre for Computing in the Humanities in 1992, has been a key site for this work. Today it is home to a wide range of approaches to developing and applying digital methods in the humanities, as well as to interrogating the broader social, cultural, and ethical dimensions of the digital. Building on over fifty years of innovation and critical inquiry, this event invites scholars, practitioners, and communities to reflect on the role of Digital Humanities as both a methodological practice and a lens to understand and shape the digital world. We invite proposals that explore (but are not limited to) the following themes: * Computational humanities and computing culture: computational history, music computing, geoanalytics, digital classics, computational linguistics, computational social science, cultural analytics, computational literary studies * Creative digital practice and the arts, music and the digital, arts-based methods * Design, Interfaces, and Interaction: UX/UI * Digital ecologies, environmental justice and sustainable digital futures * Digital gaming and play * Digital health, digital care, and transformation of the care industry * Digital knowledge and epistemologies and critical technical practices and digital methods * Digital labour and economies, platform studies * Digital media * Digital Research Infrastructures and funding * Embodiment and identity: the digital and the embodied, digital childhood & youth * Global and decolonial digital cultures, digital commons, digital audiences, creator cultures * Politics, power, and resistance in the digital age: digital politics, deplatformisation, the digital university, engaged digital research We welcome contributions from across the humanities and beyond, from those who use and interrogate digital tools and those who develop them. We invite proposals for paper presentations (max. 15 mins) and panels (max. 4 x 15 mins) with a title and an abstract of no longer than 300 words, along with a short biography, no longer than 50 words. You can submit proposals via THIS FORM until the deadline of 30/09/2025. We aim to notify acceptance of abstracts by 15.11.2025. Please note: The conference will be face-to-face only, with career plenary sessions instead of keynotes (a panel consisting of academics from every stage). We offer a limited number of conference fee waivers, as well as limited numbers of partial bursaries for travel and accommodation. We will provide more information on these and conference fees after acceptance of abstracts have been sent out. For any inquiries, please contact thedigitalconference(a)kcl.ac.uk.

The submission deadline is 15 September 2025 but we encourage early submissions as review will be carried out as soon as the paper is received and results notified in three weeks from submission. The topic of this edition is the future of intelligence, a call to reflect on how Text Affects contribute to the development and expression of human and artificial intelligence. Contributions should follow one of the three suggested pathways and inspirational tracks: 1. Intelligence (in text affects) This pathway explores the concept of intelligence—human and artificial—through its narrative, linguistic, and emotional dimensions. It also examines the interplay between humans and machines in text creation and reception, highlighting their collaborative potential and evolving dynamics. It focuses on how texts, both traditional and digital, can be analysed to understand the relationship between creativity, intelligence, and human-technological collaboration. - Literature, Linguistics, and Book History a. Defining intelligence in humans and machines from literary, linguistic, or technological perspectives b. Human-machine interaction and collaboration in text production and reception (historical and synchronic perspectives) c. Linguistic diversity and creativity in machine communication - Sensemaking and Creativity a. Exploring the co-creation of meaning between humans and machines in interpretative processes b. Analysing the impact of linguistic technologies on redefining hermeneutic intelligence c. Bridging computational tools with traditional close reading practices 2. Aesthetics (in text affects) This pathway examines the transformation of aesthetics and cultural experiences in the digital age, including new forms of literature, such as interactive digital storytelling, art, like augmented reality installations, and interactive design seen in narrative-driven video games. It focuses on the aesthetics of digitalisation and curatorial practices, exploring how technology shapes human engagement and the ways cultural and artistic works are consumed. - Phenomenology and Digital Aesthetics a. The transition to born-digital texts and non-linear forms of art and literature b. Modelling user engagement as a facet of human experience c. Digital curatorial practices focusing on aesthetics and interactivity - Hypertext, Electronic Literature, and Games a. The role of hypertexts, digital fiction, and narrative-driven games in challenging or expanding our understanding of intelligence and creativity b. Documenting and analysing non-textual digital artefacts (e.g., tech-demoscene products, machinima) c. Exploring interactive design and game mechanics as models of intelligence and creativity - Cultural Heritage a. Associations between art and text and their role in democratising cultural appreciation b. New technologies supporting the integration of paintings, music, and poetry in digital collections c. Curating and preserving interactive and multimedia narratives 3. Benefits (in text affects) This pathway addresses the role of media and digital technologies in personal and social wellbeing. It also considers issues related to the preservation and accessibility of digital texts, such as ensuring equitable access and long-term cultural sustainability. It includes case studies on how technologies positively impact the social fabric, alongside reflections on preserving emerging digital knowledge forms for future generations. - Positive Intelligent Media a. The role of media technologies and AI in wellbeing and personal and social growth b. Real-life case studies of digital health and wellbeing applications c. Unexpected negative effects of media technologies on individuals and communities - Digital Publishing, Libraries, and Archives Analysis of born-digital texts and emerging digital formats Multimodal, accessible, and inclusive approaches to digital literacy Archival and preservation strategies for digital-only genres and formats Submission deadline: 6 October 2025 Submission link: https://openreview.net/group?id=AFFECTS/2025 Best regards, Francesca Francesca Benatti (she/her), Senior Research Fellow in Digital Humanities Department of English and Creative Writing Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
