The Göttingen Dialog in
Digital Humanities (GDDH)
has established a new forum for the discussion of digital
methods applied to all areas of the Humanities, including
Classics, Philosophy, History, Literature, Law, Languages,
Social Science, Archaeology and more. The initiative is
organized by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH).
The dialogs will take place every
Tuesday at 5pm from late April until early July 2015 in the form of 90 minute seminars.
Presentations will be 45 minutes long and delivered in English,
followed by 45 minutes of discussion and student participation.
Seminar content should be of interest to humanists, digital
humanists, librarians and computer scientists.
We invite submissions of complete
papers describing research
which employs digital methods, resources or technologies in an
innovative way in order to enable a better or new understanding
of the Humanities, both in the past and present. Themes may
include text mining, machine learning, network analysis, time
series, sentiment analysis, agent-based modelling, or efficient
visualization of big and humanities-relevant data. Papers should
be written in English. Successful papers will be submitted for
publication as a special issue of
Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ). Furthermore, the author(s) of the best
paper will receive
a prize of €500, which will be awarded on the basis of both
the quality and the delivery of the paper.
A small budget for travel cost reimbursements is available.
