CALL FOR PAPERS
Digital Media and Humanities Research: ACH/ALLC Conference,
New York City, June 13-17 2001
The joint conference of the Association for Computers and
the Humanities and the Association for Literary and
Linguistic Computing 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. The theme for the 2001 conference is "Digital
Media and Humanities Research", and it will feature plenary
addresses by two leading scholars: Johanna Drucker,
Robertson Professor in Media Studies at the University of
Virginia, and Alan Liu, Professor of English at the
University of California, Santa Barbara.
ACH/ALLC 2001 invites submissions of between 750 and 1500
words on any aspect of humanities computing or new media,
broadly defined to encompass the common ground between
information technology and problems in humanities research
and teaching. We especially encourage submissions from any
field which address the impact of new media on research
methods and intellectual practices. As always, we welcome
submissions in any area of the humanities, especially
interdisciplinary work. Other areas of interest include the
creation and use of digital resources, theoretical or
speculative treatments of new media, and the application to
humanities data of techniques developed in such fields as
information science and the physical sciences and
engineering.
Successful proposals might focus on:
* new approaches to research in humanities disciplines
using digital resources dependent on images, audio, or
video;
* traditional applications of computing in the
humanities, including (but not limited to) text
encoding, hypertext, text corpora, computational
lexicography, statistical models, and text analysis;
* 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 modeling;
* pedagogical applications of new media within the
humanities; thoughtful considerations of the cultural
impact of computing and new media;
* the institutional role of humanities computing and new
media within the contemporary academy, including
curriculum development and collegial support for
activities in these fields.
Financial assistance for some speakers will be available:
see the conference web page for details. For the first time
the conference will also feature a workshop session on
academic and industry jobs in humanities computing and new
media.
The deadline for submissions of paper/session proposals is
15 November 2000; the deadline for submissions of
poster/demo proposals is 15 January 2001. See
http://www.nyu.edu/its/humanities/ach_allc2001/ for full
details on submitting proposals and on the conference in
general.

Subject Knowledges and Professional Practice in the arts and humanities
The Humanities and Arts higher education Network's 6th annual conference, to
be held on the 7 October 2000 at The Open University, Milton Keynes.
http://iet.open.ac.uk/research/herg/han/index.htm
This conference will debate the question: is contemporary Professional
Practice - with its emphasis on delivery of learning outcomes and
information, on skills acquisition, etc., across all academic disciplines -
at odds with traditional conceptions of subject knowledges in the arts and
humanities, how and why they are taught and learned?
The keynote address, 'Disciplining the Profession: Subjects Subject to
Procedure', will be given by Dr Paul Standish. This will be followed by a
variety of workshops and paper presentations. The attached pdf file,
abstracts2000, gives more details about the programme and abstract
information for each presentation/workshop.
Deadline for registration: 1st October 2000
If you would like to attend this conference, please contact Kelvin Lack
(k.j.lack@open.ac.uk) or visit the HAN web site
(http://iet.open.ac.uk/research/herg/han/index.htm) for more information.
Alternatively, the attached pdf file flyer2000 contains a booking form. The
attendance fee is 40, however a concessionary rate of 25 is available for
members of the Humanities and Arts higher education Network (HAN) and
full-time students. Contact Kelvin Lack for more information about the
joining the HAN (membership is free-of-charge).
