Hi all,

AELAIWC 2022: Call for Participation

The Centre for Digital Humanities University of Lagos (CEDHUL), Nigeria
in conjunction with African Electronic Literature Alliance & African
Diasporic Electronic Alliance (AELA&ADELI) organises the 2nd African
Electronic Literature Alliance International Workshop Conference
(AELAIWC2022)

Theme: E-Literary Procedural Creativity on Digital platforms and
Metaverse/création numérique procédurale de la Littérature métaverselle
et littérature dispositive.

Date: 22-25 November, 2022.
Venue: Zoom
Time: 12:00 PM-7:00 PM Friday: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM (25-11-2022)

Conference Languages: French, Arabic & English.

Digital media is creating its decentralised universe called Metaverse
which is transforming exponentially our worldview and society today by
tilting towards e-literary fusion with non-literary, humans and
Artificial Intelligence to produce an e-literary utopia. Therefore,
there is a need for African litterateurs, scholars, researchers,
students and digital artists to create Metaversal literatures which will
bring African physical presence and digital culture to singularity. This
is the reason Centre for Digital Humanities University of Lagos (CEDHUL)
in collaboration with African Electronic Literature Alliance and African
Diasporic Electronic Literature (AELA & ADELI) is calling for
participation at the second virtual African Electronic Literature
Alliance International Workshop Conference (AELAIWC2022) in order to
teach enthusiastic participants the art of XR literary procedural
creativity, meta-creative writing, critiquing, reading and analysis
employing new theories and methods in Electronic Literature.

African Electronic Literature Alliance International Workshop Conference
(AELAIWC 2022) is virtual workshop, and lectures are designed to train
African scholars, electronic literature artists, digital poets and
students in the field of African Electronic Literature(AEL), African
Diasporic Electronic literature (ADELI) by providing them with
opportunities to learn digital creative writing, connect with peers
around the world and established electronic literature experts, and
explore computational creativity in literature. The workshop will be
divided into four-day intensive classes. An hour lecture, 30 minutes
break, and self-practice for an hour. Then, that will be followed with
comments from lecturers on the works of 2-3 participants for about 30
minutes. It means, 1hr 30 minutes will be spent on each lecture while
public talks will be for an hour.

The African Electronic Literature Festival (AELF) showcases for free the
best works of all the participants created during the conference on the
Multilingual African Electronic Literature Database and African
Diasporic Electronic Literature Database (MAELD & ADELD) website:

Subject: Building Digital Humanities free global online symposium

Dear Humanists

We have just opened registrations for the Building Digital Humanities online
global symposium at

https://web.cvent.com/event/811e389e-78de-46cd-877d-b20b9ae9ed85/

Registration is free, by session, across the period 6/7 November to 25 November
2022.

Briefly the aim of the symposium is to begin a global conversation on the
conditions in which Digital Humanities can flourish at institutional, inter-
institutional, national and supra-national level, considering issues such as
building networks, infrastructures, research and industry collaborations, public
engagement and citizen scholarship, and career paths for individual researchers.

The symposium has been convened by Western Sydney University and co-branded with
Gale, whose generous sponsorship made the event possible, and includes academics
and stakeholders from both global north and global south.

For more information, please go to the website.

And please disseminate this information to your networks. You can also follow
our Twitter updates at #BuildingDH2022.

Best wishes

Simon Burrows
