Roberto Busa, who is considered a central player in the founding of the digital humanities and is sometimes even referred to as a kind of ‘founding father’, used a computer in the 1940s to lemmatize the works of Thomas Aquinas. Inspired by this founding myth, which depicts the Digital Humanities as the invention of an aspiring young scholar, the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage, in cooperation with the section Digital Humanities & Quantitative Methods of the Doctoral School of Philological and Cultural Studies of the University of Vienna invites master's students, doctoral students and those who have recently completed their doctoral studies to exchange ideas at its 6th Research Day. The prerequisite for participation is a focus on Digital Humanities in the broadest sense - i.e. research at (an) interface(s) between the humanities and digital technologies. Aim of this research day is to showcase emerging researchers and current trends in the digital humanities, connecting researchers across disciplinary boundaries.
We look forward to receiving submissions for presentations in German or English (length: 20 min. plus 10 min. for discussion), and we are especially interested in submissions from less experienced emerging researchers and presentations of work in progress.
We accept abstracts (approx. 3000 characters) in German or English. Please submit your abstracts until 15.12.2024 to: markus.pluschkovits(at)oeaw.ac.at
If your application has been successful, your abstract will be published on the ACDH-CH’s homepage.
