Meeting Description:

The Conference on Digital Humanities 2015: ''Digitization of the Humanities: Technologizing Interconnections in Art, History and Literature'' will be held at the Open University of Hong Kong on 17 December (Thursday) and 18 December (Friday) 2015. This conference will be held in conjunction with Conference on Digital Culture 2015: ''Animation Techniques and the Digital Art''.

Digital Humanities used to be called ‘Humanities Computing’, which largely refers to the mere application of computer technology in the humanities. Yet, as the range of devices, media and web technology proliferates in recent decades, the digital experience has come to play a central role in modern life. For many, life in the digital era is meditated through the new media, social networks, and virtual applications. The digital experience is not just a part of everyday life; it has become everyday life. Critics and scholars in disciplines ranging as widely as art, history, film, language, literature, education, media studies, and sociology now describe this emerging global phenomenon as Digital Humanities, an emerging field that increasingly grows in depth, diversity and richness. With the theme of ‘Digitization of the Humanities: Technologizing Interconnections in Art, History and Literature’, Conference in Digital Humanities 2015 offers opportunities to explore key themes, i
 mpacts, potentials and challenges in the digitization of the Humanities.

Our keynote speakers include:

Professor David Barton, Lancaster University, UK
Professor Wimal Dissanayake, University of Hawaii at Manoa
Professor Yoichiro Kawaguchi, The University of Tokyo, Japan
Professor Sun Jian, Fudan University, Shanghai

The conferences will consist of two days of talks, panel sessions, and cultural visit activities. There will be a conference dinner on 17 December 2015 (Thursday).

For submission of abstracts and registration of the conference, please visit the conference website: http://irdchouhk.wix.com/digitalhumanities

This conference is supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (UGC/IDS16/14).
