RIDCH Conference 2016

Conference A: “Digitization and Reconceptualizations of the Humanities”
Conference B: “Digital Art and Film”
4-6 July 2016 (Monday - Wednesday)

Based on the huge success of the previous conferences, the Research Institute
for Digital Culture and Humanities (RIDCH) will continue to organize
conferences to promote the sharing of interdisciplinary research ideas and the
dissemination of research findings in digital culture and humanities. In 2016,
the two conferences (A and B), one in digital humanities and the other in
digital culture, will be held in conjunction to address related issues in the
changing landscape and new possibilities of research in digital culture and
digital humanities. The conferences will serve as a platform to enhance and
encourage interdisciplinary and collaborative research and knowledge exchange
leading to pedagogical advancement and academic publication.

RIDCH Conferences 2016 - Call for Papers

Dates of the conferences
4-6 July 2016 (Monday - Wednesday)

Conference A: Digitization and Reconceptualizations of the Humanities 
With the theme of “Digitization and Reconceptualizations of the Humanities,”
the conference will look into how digitization of artifacts and literacy

Conference B: Digital Art and Film
As digital culture and imaging has changed and challenged traditional modes of
seeing and thinking, the conference aims to address both theoretical and
empirical issues related to digital art forms as a result of the use of
digital media technology, digital cinematic representation, film literature,
film culture, film production, film marketing and consumption, and film
archives, and so forth. It will encourage discussions on the impacts of
