Publication on a rolling basis––––––––––

magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities is the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH). Articles undergo double-blind peer review and are published in open access and on-rolling-basis. The journal is indexed in Scopus as Q1 for Literature and Literary Theory, while it has earned the Italian ANVUR classification as Grade A journal in the area 10/B1 for Art History. It covers the international debate and methodological discourse about the collaborative development of durable, reusable, and shared resources for research, learning, and public outreach covering a wide range of topics from Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage to Museum Studies and Textual Scholarship. 

The name magazén refers to the historical definition of public houses in the Republic of Venice, which were thriving places of diverse human deeds, including information exchange, commercial bargains, and pawnshops.

Call for papers and edited issues | Volume 2026

magazén is accepting abstract proposals that highlight recent challenges as well as cutting edge experiences in the Digital and Public Humanities from local to international level. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies from the heterogeneous domains of Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, Museum Studies, and Textual Scholarship. magazén draws particular attention to the public aspects of these interdisciplinary domains, hosting research projects that hold firm to the principle of audience involvement from their very inception, rather than having public interaction as a derivative result of scholarly work. Eventually, the abstract proposal should address the following questions: What kind of materials and research questions are concerned? What digital/public methods and tools are employed, and what is their added value in tackling humanistic research aims? If the prospective paper addresses a case study or a particular project, authors should please state whether it has been completed and already made available to the research community, or whether it is still a work in progress. The Editorial Board is open to host single paper proposals from international scholars as well as to cover entire issues with guest editors.

Submissions | Abstracts and guidelines

For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please send the provisional title and a 250-500 word-long abstract together with a short biographical note and a provisionalbibliography. All materials should be sent via the submission portal on the editorial platform of our academic publisher Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Selection notification will be sent out within three weeks from the submission deadline. 

Finalised contributions are expected to be 25.000-35.000 characters long (spaces, note and bibliography included) and will undergo double blind peer review. Accepted languages are Italian and English. All texts need an English abstract. The finalised paper must adhere to the editorial guidelines of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Texts that should not comply with editorial guidelines or whose English linguistic form should not reach a sufficient level of quality will not be accepted. Please note that the journal does not offer language proof-reading services to the authors, who must also secure all copyright permissions (reproduction costs included) for images and other media.

For further details please contact the editorial board via email at magazen@unive.it.

The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities (JADH) is pleased to announce its 15th annual conference, to be held at Kyushu University on September 11-13, 2026.
Digital data do not exist in isolation. They come to life only within specific contexts of use, interpretation, infrastructure, and care. Following Jakob von Uexküll’s concept of Umwelt, this conference understands data as embedded in situated worlds of meaning—worlds shaped by disciplines, institutions, technologies, cultures, languages, and communities. Umwelt is the contextually constituted world in which data gain meaning through use and interpretation.

Under the theme “Whose World, Whose Data? Sustainability in Digital Umwelts,” this conference invites participants to rethink digital sustainability not simply as long-term preservation or technical endurance, but as a question of whose worlds are sustained, transformed, or allowed to fade through digital practices.

Sustainability, from this perspective, is not only about keeping data alive. It is also about circulation, reuse, reinterpretation, care, neglect, and even release. Data may migrate across multiple digital Umwelts—archives, platforms, communities, disciplines—changing their meanings and functions along the way. At the same time, some data may lose relevance, remain unused, or demand ethical reconsideration regarding their continued existence.

This conference provides a forum to explore how digital humanities can engage with these questions across various theoretical, methodological, practical, ethical, and regional perspectives. Contributions may be theoretical, methodological, empirical, technical, practice-based, reflective, ethical, or regional, and interdisciplinary approaches are especially encouraged.

Topics of Interest (include, but are not limited to)
We welcome papers, panels, posters, and other formats addressing topics such as:
– Digital sustainability through adaptation, transformation, and reuse
– Data lifecycles, circulation, reuse, and transformation
– Umwelt, context, and situated meaning in digital humanities
– AI and Machine Learning as distinct digital Umwelts
– Whose data are preserved, and whose are marginalized or lost
– Community-based archives and local knowledge infrastructures
– Indigenous, minority, and endangered-language data practices
– Ethical questions of care, ownership, access, and responsibility
– Data governance, power, and institutional environments
– Infrastructure, platforms, and their implicit “worlds”
– Forgetting, obsolescence, deletion, and non-use as design choices
– Cross-cultural and cross-regional perspectives on digital data
– Environmental, social, and cultural sustainability in DH
– Rethinking archives, databases, and collections as living worlds

However, it’s important to clarify that the conference’s scope extends beyond the theme. Topics of interest span a wide range, including AI, data mining, information design and modeling, software studies, and humanities research enabled through the digital medium; computer-based research and computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities; and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship. Examples might include text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning, and endangered languages; the digital arts, architecture, music, film, theater, new media and related areas; the creation and curation of humanities digital resources; and the role of Digital Humanities in academic curricula. The range of topics covered by Digital Humanities can also be consulted in the journal Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (http://dsh.oxfordjournals.org/), Oxford University Press.

Abstracts submitted should be of 500-1000 words in length in English, including the title and authors’ names.

Please submit abstracts via the ConfTool website below, which is not yet open, by 11:59 PM, 15 Apr, 2026 (HAST).
