The joint conference of the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) is the oldest established meeting of scholars working at the intersection of advanced information technologies and the humanities, annually attracting a distinguished international community at the forefront of their fields.
Recent years have seen enormous advances in information technologies, and a corresponding growth in the use of information technology resources for research and teaching in the humanities. How exactly are these developments changing the ways in which humanities scholars work? What are the fields of humanities scholarship that are most affected by the use of computers and computation? What new and distinct methodologies is information technology bringing to the humanities, and how are these methodologies being introduced and applied? How do we expect methodologies, and the role of the humanities scholar, to change in the future as a result of the impact of information technology? How are information technology-related developments in one discipline affecting or likely to affect those in others?
What are the implications of multilingualism and multiculturalism to humanities computing? What is the role of information technology technologies in establishing multilingualism? What are the meanings and implications of these developments for languages, communities, genders and cultures, and humanities research? What is the role of individual scientific and educational tasks, joint projects, or educational and electronic library resources? How can humanities computing help in the challenge to preserve individual cultures in a multicultural environment? What is the role of humanities computing in the preservation and creation of a multilingual, multicultural heritage?
We believe that responding to these new challenges will also have a fertilizing effect on humanities computing as a whole by opening up new ways and methodologies to enhance the use of computers and computation in a wide range of humanities disciplines. Now is the time to survey and assess the impact humanities computing has had and is likely to have on humanities scholarship in a multilingual, multicultural world.
Suitable subjects for proposals might focus on:
-traditional applications of computing in the humanities, including (but not limited to) text encoding, hypertext, text corpora, computational lexicography, natural language processing, linguistics, translation studies, literary studies, text analysis, edition philology and statistical models;
-computational models and applications related to multilingualism and multicultural issues;
-the application of information technology to issues related to minority, indigenous and rare languages;
-emerging digitization efforts: new best practices, experiences, recommendations, training;
-humanities teaching;
-the application of information technology to cultural and historical studies (including archaeology and musicology);
-new approaches to research in humanities disciplines using digital resources dependent on images, audio, or video;
-the application to humanities data of techniques developed in such fields as information science and the physical sciences and engineering;
-pedagogical applications of new media within the humanities;
-applications of technology in second language acquisition;
-commercial applications of humanities computing, e.g. web technology, natural language interfaces, archival organization and accessibility;
-applications in the digital arts, especially projects and installations that feature technical advances of potential interest to humanities scholars;
-information design in the humanities, including visualization, simulation, and modelling;
-thoughtful considerations of the cultural impact of computing and new media;
-theoretical or speculative treatments of new media;
-the institutional role of new media within the contemporary academy, including curriculum development and collegial support for activities in these fields;
-the broader social role of humanities computing and the resources it develops.
the institutional role of humanities computing and new media within the contemporary academy, including curriculum development and collegial support for activities in these fields.
