Meeting Description:

The Conference in Digital Humanities and Digital Studies aims to deliver a
unique interdisciplinary scientific event in this burgeoning field, bringing
together scholars and practitioners interested in these developments. The
conference is an opportunity to foster a dynamic dialogue between the large
environment of the digital humanities and the various scientific organizations
and fields of digital studies. To this end, the event will provide a platform
to explore possible collective projects and assess the actual and potential
impacts of digital humanities and digital studies on education, research and
practice. We believe in the need to work on collective definitions of digital
humanities and digital studies, and foresee their developments and directions
over the next few years.

Call for Papers:

Literature, linguistics, arts as well as social sciences, all with their own
references and disciplinary roots, have experienced crucial digital changes
regarding their practice and objects of research and study. The impacts of
these digital changes come in various formats and offer new questions to
scholars. These questions particularly embed methodologies and devices
(regarding humanities computing, for instance), political definitions of a
free, open and sustainable knowledge sharing (“Digital Humanities” Manifesto,
THATCamp, Paris 2010), as well as the place of digital technologies in the
future of mankind and the future of knowledge and learning (Call for Digital
Studies, https://digital-studies.org/wp/appel-aux-etudes-numeriques).

In this regard, we can assess that the field of research and practice is
really broad and proposes porous and flexible limits and conceptualizations,
with definitions that remain unstabilized (Bigot et al., 2016). Digital
humanities, cultural analytics as well as digital studies are all part of a
large galaxy, or ‘big tent’ (Pannapacker 2011).

The aim of this conference is to foster interactions between scholars and
professionals that are working in the field of digital humanities and digital
studies. This event should allow for diverse actors to interact, experience
and learn from multiple viewpoints under interdisciplinary perspectives. In
terms of definitions, we find the concepts of digital humanities and digital
studies to be explored as a positive crossroad between digital humanities in
the northern-european tradition and the ‘humanités numérique’ French view of
the term. Our wish is not to separate, divide or question digital humanities
as small parts of larger disciplinary territories, but to open up and
stimulate potentialities and evolutions linked to digital humanities.
Moreover, the conference will foster interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
dialogue, in order to re-invent the foundations of traditional humanities and
for putting back society at the heart of the analysis of this contemporary
subject. 

Digital humanities and digital studies both rely on various domains and
research fields; thus, scientific dialogue as well as epistemological and
pragmatic open-mindedness cannot be overlooked. Authors will be able to submit
papers linked to the following topics-and more: 

- Discourse, language, semiotics, communication, media, social networks;
- Devices, technical creations, engineering, circulation of information, smart
cities, ergonomic design;
- Instrumentation, tools, research methodology;
- Transmission, teaching, education, andragogy, acculturation and use;
- Culture, arts, graphic design, audio-visual creation, tourism, experience
design;
- Marketing, business, management, trade, finances;
- Politics, law, democracy, public policy;
- Social sciences, psychology, sociology, health, care, social security;
- Ecology, sustainability, circular economy, blue economy.

This conference addresses questions rooted in clear methodological and
theoretical goals:

1) Building a national and international cartography of both scientific and
professional practices regarding digital humanities
2) Stimulating disciplinary and interdisciplinary interactions and encouraging
the constitution of a strong research and teaching networks 
3) We believe that the link between study and society should be discussed with
them in order to encourage a better and stronger dialogue among national and
international communities and with society at large.

Submissions comprise: the title of the paper, five keywords, a summary of 800
words and a list of bibliographic references. The identity and affiliation of
authors will not appear in the document, yet will be highlighted in the e-mail
sent to the organizing committee.

Papers, written in french or english, must be submitted before July 3. 2020
and sent by e-mail to: albin.wagener at campustech.fr,
