<div dir="ltr">International Conference: Digital Literary Studies <br>Date: May 14-15, 2015 <br>Location: School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra, Portugal<br> <br>'Digital
Literary Studies' is an international conference exploring methods,
tools, objects and digital practices in the field of literary studies.
The digitization of artifacts and literary practices, the adoption of
computational methods for aggregating, editing and analyzing texts as
well as the development of collaborative forms of research and teaching
through networking and communication platforms are three dimensions of
the ongoing relocation of literature and literary studies in the digital
medium. The aim of this two-day conference is to contribute to the
mapping of material practices and interpretative processes of literary
studies in a changing media ecology. <br><br>We invite researchers to
submit papers and posters on projects concerned with the digital
reinvention of literary studies. Possible topics include, but are not
limited to:<br><ul><li>computational literary analysis (macro analysis, data mining, distant reading, topic modelling; visualization, corpora);</li></ul><ul><li>digital philology (electronic editions and archives, textual databases);</li></ul><ul><li>computational literary creation (automatic generation of text, textual instruments, kinetic texts, locative narrative, etc.); </li></ul><ul><li>the teaching of literature in a digital context; </li></ul><ul><li>peer review and open access (new practices of collaboration, dissemination, transfer and validation of knowledge production). </li></ul><br>The
