italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
2nd EADH Day 2016 - Call for Participation
7th to 8th of March 2016, Universität Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany
We are happy to be able to announce just before the end of 2015, that
the second annual European Association for the Digital Humanities
Symposium (EADH Day) will be held in conjunction with the 3rd
International Conference of the "Association Digital Humanities im
deutschsprachigen Raum (Digital Humanities in German speaking regions)"
which will take place at the University of Leipzig from the 7th to the
12th of March 2016. The main theme of this conference is “Modellierung -
Vernetzung - Visualisierung. Die Digital Humanities als
fächerübergreifendes Forschungsparadigma” (Modelling - Networking -
Visualisation. Digital Humanities as a transdisciplinary research
paradigm). The 2nd EADH day will open in the evening of the 7th of March
and continue on the 8th of March until just before the opening of DHd 2016.
The objective of EADH days is to raise awareness for DH research
activities beyond the regional conference context. The format of EADH
day is designed to facilitate exchange and networking initiatives among
European DH research communities.
Participants may contribute directly to the EADH Day agenda in two ways:
* Through presentations of a 5 minute lightning talk featuring either
recent research developments or key topics of interest to the digital
humanities community (e.g. ‘The potential of Linked Data for annotating
medieval music scores’). Participants wishing to present lightning talks
should provide a two-page abstract of the presentation in English which
will be made available online prior to the event.
* Through the proposition of a challenge for participants to address
during the event related to the themes of:
* Integrating research and teaching
* Integrating different communities
* Integrating the global and the local
* Integrating different scholarly domains
Challenges can be presented in creative ways. Round tables with
respondents and / or speakers / audience sharing the stage in turns,
multimedia presentations, short sketches, students's projects, are only
some of the formats which come to mind.
Challenges should take the form of an open question (e.g. ‘How do we
teach Digital Humanities?’ ‘What is the social resonance of Digital
Humanities?’, ‘What is the contribution of Digital Humanities to
collective memory and public history?’ etc.), with one or two paragraphs
of text justifying its significance.
* Proposals should be submitted via ConfTool
(https://conftool.pro/dhd2016/) by the 31st of January 2016. Information
in English about the submission process will be available soon at
http://www.dhd2016.de/. Lightning talks and challenges will be selected
by an EADH panel.
Presentation of a lightning talk or a challenge is not a requirement to
particpate and anyone may register to attend the event via the
http://www.dhd2016.de/ website.
Participation in the 2nd EADH day is free of charge for registered
participants of DHd 2016. For people who only choose to take part in the
