Call for Papers and Posters
The British Modernities
Group invites graduate students to present papers and posters at its eighth
annual conference: “Digital Humanities: Literary Studies and Information
Science.” This conference will incorporate presentations from faculty and
graduate students in a variety of disciplines, including English, library and
information science, communication, and education. Keynote presentations from
Harriett Green, English and Digital Humanities Librarian and Assistant
Professor of Library Administration, and Robin Valenza, Associate Professor of
English, will emphasize the importance of dialogue between the humanities and
the sciences. We seek innovative research that studies media or literature from
the perspective of information science and/or research that utilizes digital
humanities approaches to modern and contemporary British literature
(1800–present). The conference will ultimately explore the characteristics,
objectives, and productive potential of the methodology now called “digital
humanities.”
In recent years, literary
studies have become increasingly concerned with issues of digital literacies
and new media. Beyond converting texts into digital archives—including
searchable databases—to broaden traditional literary analysis, literary critics
have also questioned how digitization affects the material conditions of reading
and writing. In a more practical engagement with digital computing, humanists
are themselves employing digital methods for research and teaching. Examples
include text mining, topic modeling, network mapping, and multimodal learning
techniques. Use of such tools has necessitated collaboration with scholars
outside the humanities, particularly in information science. These instances of
collaboration promise benefits to all disciplines involved through a mutual
exchange of tools and methods.
We invite paper, poster, or panel proposals that consider perspectives on media, literature, and information science related but certainly not limited to the following:
• Text mining, big data, and digital archives
• Computer programming
• Digital culture and internet studies
• New media and gaming
• Electronic literature/e-readers
• Systems and networks
• Posthumanism and digital machines
• Collaborative digital projects
• Multimodal pedagogy and digital literacies
• Copyright law and open access
Abstracts of no more than 250 words for individual papers and posters (350 words for fully-formed panels) should be submitted to modernities@gmail.com by January 4, 2013. Please include your name, along with your departmental and institutional affiliations. Accepted papers and posters will be notified by January 21, 2013.
