Lychnos: Årsbok för idé- och lärdomshistoria
Call for papers
Special Issue 2022
Digital history
Guest editor: Pelle Snickars
In this call we invite scholars who work at the intersection of history of science and ideas – as well as adjacent historical disciplines – and digital research, to propose papers on questions relating to the ways in which digitalisation has affected the practices of historical research and (as a result) our understanding of the past. For historical disciplines digital approaches and methods are now integrated parts of established research practices, simultaneously downplaying and highlighting disciplinary distinctiveness. With this special issue, the inherent interdisciplinarity of the field of digital history will be brought to the fore, while at the same time raising important questions about the many challenges that still exist within the field. Empirical, theoretical as well as method-focussed papers, are invited. These can be written in English, Swedish or other Scandinavian languages. These contributions might be, for example, related to issues like:
