제5회 2026 동아시아 고적 디지털인문학 국제논단 DHEAC: Annual International Conference on Digital Humanities for East Asia Classics
취지 수천 년에 걸쳐 전승되어 온 고대 전적은 인류 문명의 가장 중요한 매개체입니다. 한국을 비롯한 중국과 일본 등 동아시아 지역은 오랜 역사 속에서 한자 문화를 기반으로 방대한 고적 문헌을 축적 · 보존해 왔습니다. 이러한 고적 문헌은 학계가 동방 문명을 인식 · 이해 · 해석 · 연구하는 근거이자, 동서양 문화 교류의 핵심 매개 역할을 수행합니다. 동아시아 고적은 유럽과 북미 학계, 특히 국제 한학 연구의 중요한 자료로 활용되며, 서구의 동아시아 고적 연구는 본토 학계에도 중대한 영향을 미쳤습니다. 시대의 발전과 함께 OCR · 딥러닝 · 지식그래프 등 디지털 지능 기술은 고적의 정리 · 열람 · 연구 · 전파 방식에 혁신을 가져왔고, 온라인 환경은 전 세계 고적 연구자와 애호가를 긴밀히 연결하여 고전학 관련 디지털 인문학을 독립된 연구 분야로 자리매김하게 했습니다. 본 학술대회는 디지털 · 지능화 정보환경에서 고적 자원의 체계적 정리 · 개발 · 활용을 촉진하고, 고적 연구자와 정보기술 전문가 간 소통 · 협력하는 플랫폼을 구축하며, 글로벌 고전적 관련 기관 · 단체 · 개인의 협력을 강화함으로써 동아시아 고전학에 새로운 시각과 확장된 연구 공간을 제공하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
Latest submission date for inclusion in the 2026 volume: 1 October 2026
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.

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).
Submissions for presentation papers will be accepted starting around February at the same URL above: Presenters will be notified of acceptance on May 30, 2026.

Themed issue description
In recent years, the technological and theoretical tools necessary to bridge data-driven methods and narrative studies have developed rapidly, offering new perspectives about the way we structure, interpret, and generate stories across diverse media and cultural contexts. This special issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary research to advance our understanding of narratives through computational methods — from theoretical explorations to empirical studies and creative applications.
Narratives lie at the heart of human experience, shaping communication, cognition, and culture. Computational Narratology is at the crossroads of narratology, digital humanities, computer science, and artificial intelligence, as it employs computational tools to analyze, generate, and model narrative structures and elements. By integrating data-driven methods (e.g., machine learning, natural language processing, and knowledge representation) with long-standing narratological theories, Computational Narratology opens up new possibilities for:
Understanding and interpreting narratives in traditional textual forms and multimodal or interactive media (games, virtual environments, films, and more).
Creating new story-generation frameworks for narrative creativity.
Broadening the scope of cultural and cross-lingual narrative studies, offering empirical insights into global storytelling practices.
Developing real-world applications in education, entertainment, marketing, social science research, and beyond.
We particularly encourage contributions that represent methodological approaches and novel computational techniques. Submissions may address textual, multimodal, or interactive narratives and can explore various languages and cultural contexts.
Topics of interest
We invite submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
1. Narrative Structure, Representation and Analysis
Computational modeling of plots, character networks, thematic progression, and focalization
Algorithms for segmenting and annotating narratives, detecting events, and analyzing temporal order
Formal models of plot progression, “story grammars”, and application of narrative schemas
2. Narrative Generation and Evaluation
Automated story generation using language models, symbolic AI, hybrid approaches, or procedural methods
Evaluation methods for generated narratives and their aesthetic or experiential impact
3. Sentiment, Emotion, and Affect
Sentiment analysis and character relationship modeling within narratives
Extraction and evaluation of emotional arcs for narrative modelling
Modeling of human engagement and immersion in stories
Cognitive and psychological dimensions of narrative consumption and interpretation
4. Cross-Cultural and Multilingual Narratology
Comparative computational studies of narrative forms across languages and cultures
Machine translation and its implications for cross-lingual narrative analysis
Universal vs. culturally-specific narrative structures
5. Narratives in Non-Traditional and Multimodal Media
Computational analysis of comics, films, games, interactive and branching narratives
Approaches to studying user-driven, non-linear, and emergent storytelling
Multimodal tools and frameworks that integrate text, audio, and visual data
6. Corpus Development and Annotation
Creation of annotated corpora for narratological research (plot, characters, setting, rhetorical devices, etc.)
Automated and semi-automated annotation tools and frameworks
Best practices and standards for large-scale narrative data
7. Theoretical and Methodological Advances
Integration of classic narratological theories with AI-driven techniques
Ethical considerations in large scale story generation and narrative manipulation
Explorations of narrative ethics, bias, and representational justice
8. Applications of Computational Narratology
Educational tools to enhance learning experiences through story-driven approaches
Real-world applications in journalism, marketing, public policy, and cultural analytics
Human–computer interaction and design for narrative systems.

The Journal of Cultural Analytics was founded a decade ago to advance original arguments about studying culture at scale. In this special issue, we intend to take stock of our progress in this endeavor as well as to open up new perspectives for future research. What have we learned from exploring the relationship between the forest and the trees using computational approaches? To what degree have these insights emerged from evolving theoretical or methodological frameworks in the humanities? To what extent should developments in computer science, especially the rise of transformer-based machine learning, inflect research in the humanities? Looking ahead, what changing paradigms might define the next ten years of cultural analytics? We welcome contributions on any relevant topic but are especially interested in the following areas and questions:
• Specific contributions of cultural analytics within a broader DH framework • Changing notions of scale and the value of studying culture “at scale” • Rethinking the relations among quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and computational approaches. • Cultural analytics as a recuperation of earlier trends in literary and cultural studies • Advances in the study of non-textual materials, i.e. sound, images, 3D, material culture • Cultural heritage preservation, digital archives and counter-archives • Developments in the study of non-English and non-Western languages • Cultural analytics and pedagogy • Cultural analytics in the age of generative AI
Submission Details
The special issue will include two types of submissions. Original research articles aligned with the proposed theme will offer insights into the new and exciting directions that JCA readers can expect over the next decade. Shorter commentaries by those involved in the founding of JCA, as well as scholars representing its expanding purview and diversification of research areas, will reflect on the journal’s developments and how the term “cultural analytics” has evolved in the past ten years.
Abstracts (max. 500 words) for consideration are due to the editors at culturalanalytics10th@gmail.com by September 1, 2025. Please include the title, author name(s), author email, and type of contribution (research article/commentary) in your submission. Full-length articles will be due March 1, 2026.
Important dates
Date of call for issue open: 21 July 2025 Abstracts due: 1 September 2025 Full paper submission deadline: 1 March 2026 Notification of peer-review decision: 1 May 2026 Revision submission deadline: 1 June 2026 Final publication: July 2026
Call for Proposals: Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities: Research problems and critical approaches
August 1, 2025
Digital Humanities Quarterly invites authors to submit abstracts for a special issue devoted to the topic of artificial intelligence (AI). Though AI-based approaches to the digital humanities have been a part of the field for decades, recent years have seen an explosion of methodologies utilizing AI. Some methods show great promise, providing new modes of discoverability and analysis. Many raise questions and concerns along ethical and sociotechnical dimensions. There are also conceptual challenges and areas of application that are distinctive to the digital humanities. Given the volume of submissions and inquiries surrounding AI and the digital humanities, the DHQ editors have decided to devote a special issue to this topic in particular.
We are interested in a wide-ranging view of AI in the digital humanities context, including:
Different methodologies and applications, including those that look beyond generative AI
Critical perspectives on AI, including ethical, political, and cultural critiques
Responsible and transparent AI practices and frameworks in DH contexts
Specific use cases that open the door for new DH-relevant possibilities
Case studies within the digital humanities and in GLAM institutions, such as responsible AI frameworks used to operationalize AI
Specific and grounded applications including but not limited to: translation, transcription, OCR correction, summarization, captioning, text to speech, and multi-modal approaches.
Experimental pieces that make use of AI in their creation (These should also include an author’s statement/contextual material commenting on the experiment and why the selected form is essential to the submission.)
Submissions should meet the following requirements:
The submission must have a direct connection to the digital humanities.
The submission should focus on research, rather than pedagogy (a second CFP centered on AI and pedagogy will be forthcoming later this year).
Except for experimental submissions, the submission must be human-authored (AI may only be used for grammar and spell-checking within the writing process).
We are particularly interested in articles that will have continued value for readers over time, rather than those focused on specific technologies that may quickly become dated.
We ask that prospective authors submit 500-word abstracts for review by September 15, 2025. Please send the following to editors@digitalhumanities.org:
An abstract of no more than 500 words
The name(s) and affiliations of the author(s)
Email address for the corresponding author
Authors will be notified in January 2026 and invited to submit full papers by April 2026, which will be peer reviewed. A full timeline will be provided to authors upon the invitation to contribute a full paper.
For questions related to this call, please contact the DHQ editors at: editors@digitalhumanities.org (please use the subject header: “DHQ AI Special Issue”).
Empfehlen Sie kontrollierte Vokabulare für vielfältige Nutzungsperspektiven in den historisch arbeitenden Disziplinen in einem Guide!
Kontrollierte Vokabulare erfüllen heute zentrale Aufgaben bei der Verwendung von Large Language Models, der Anreicherung und Analyse von Massendaten und für die Visualisierung von Quellen. Dennoch sind Anwendungsfelder und Ressourcen für dieses wichtige Arbeitsgebiet der historischen Forschung häufig unbekannt. Wir möchten daher ein Empfehlungssystem für Vokabulare, aber auch Standards im Umgang mit bestimmten Quellen- oder Dateitypen aufbauen.
Gesucht werden daher kompetente Autoren oder Autorinnen für unser Wissens- und Empfehlungssystem für kontrollierte Vokabulare und Normdaten. Entweder einzeln oder als Teams können Sie einen Guide für ein bestimmtes Thema, eine Entität bzw. einzelne Merkmale von Entitäten verfassen, um so Empfehlungen für die Verwendung in der Wissenschaftslandschaft der historisch arbeitenden Disziplinen abzugeben.
Um Ihnen die Erarbeitung solcher Guides zu erleichtern, haben wir in einem umfassenden Workingpaper zentrale Begrifflichkeiten von Vokabularen definiert und wesentliche Relevanz- und Qualitätskritierien unserer Wissenschaftsdisziplinen diskutiert. Gerne können Sie auch diesen Teil des Workingpapers mit uns diskutieren und es kommentieren.
Hier geht es jedoch um die Erarbeitung von einzelnen Empfehlungen, die im Workingpaper ab Seite 28 zunächst allgemein beschrieben und anschließend mit zwei Musterbeispielen illustriert werden. Welche Entität möchten Sie beschreiben und so den Zugang für die Community erleichtern?
Schicken Sie uns Ihren formlosen Vorschlag bis zum 1. Oktober 2025 an die E-Mail: hinfo(at)geschichte.uni-halle.de. Nach einer Aufnahmebestätigung können Sie Ihren Guide bis zum 31. März 2025 einreichen. Sofern er die formalen Kriterien erfüllt, wird der Text einem Peer-Review-Verfahren unterzogen und bei qualitativer Eignung in unser Empfehlungssystem integriert.
Das Empfehlungssystem wird unser Register R:hovono für Vokabulare und Normdaten der historisch arbeitenden Disziplinen erweitern.
On 18th November 2025, the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub events programme will host the Emerging Digital Methodologies Conference. This in-person conference is now inviting presenters from any discipline to submit papers on new applications of digital methods; the use case and problems of any digital method; and how digital methodologies are changing their field.
Since the turn of the millennium digital and computational methodologies have become increasingly prolific at the cutting edge of language and humanities research. Utilising digital techniques from other disciplines has allowed historically qualitative fields to rethink key questions, bring new understandings to foundational sources, increase information accessibility, and lead to previously unexplored cross-disciplinary research. This conference invites graduate students and early career researchers applying new digital methodologies to the humanities and related fields to share that research. We are particularly interested in hearing about research involving digital methods being used to rethink established fields, new applications for conventional digital methods, and how digital methodologies are being translated in the cross-disciplinary space.
Presenters from any discipline are invited to submit papers on:
New applications of digital methods
The use case and problems of any digital method
How digital methodologies are changing their field
Submissions can be in any of the following formats:
7-minute lightning talks (especially suitable for early findings or work-in-progress)
The conference will capture a wide range of subject areas across the many communities of scholars utlising digital methods – both from novices and expert practitioners. Papers could include, for example, ‘Problems of LLM’s in the Humanities’, ‘ChatGPT and visual culture’, ‘A Network Analysis of 16c Europe’, ‘Crafting music in the age of AI’, ‘The problems of control-f in the modern age’, ‘Book culture and language models’, or ‘NLP processing of 20c films’.
To apply, please complete the following form with a max 200-word proposal for a paper and a 50-word biography by 5pm (UK British Summer Time) on Tuesday 12 August 2025.
The event is part of the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub Programme with support from the Voltaire Foundation and Jesus College Oxford. Tickets for the conference will be £39 per person, including catering and a wine reception (subsidised tickets will be available). More information to follow.

HKADH 2026 Call for Papers Distant Reading | Viewing | Perceiving in the Age of AI
As the AI Revolution gains pace, practitioners in multiple fields are presented with an array of new opportunities and challenges. This includes ever easier and more powerful tools for analyzing large corpora of texts, images and other data. This has vastly expanded our ability to engage in distant reading, viewing and perceiving (to borrow and build on terms made famous by Franco Moretti, Lauren Tilton and Taylor Arnold). At the same time, there have emerged urgent ethical, epistemological and methodological questions about authorship, authenticity, bias, and the interpretive limits of machine-assisted analysis, some new, others longstanding. This conference will take a kaleidoscopic approach to these and other pressing questions in digital humanities, cultural analytics and related fields in Asia and globally.
Abstracts submitted should be 500 – 1000 words in length in English. Please submit abstracts via the COMS website. Submissions are peer-reviewed on a continuous basis.
