Call for Papers EXTENDED --> new deadline 30 April 2023
THE CONNECTED
PAST(https://connectedpast.net/other-events/helsinki-2023/
Theme: /Digital Methods for Studying Networks and Complexity in the
Humanities/
Organizers: Paula Gheorghiade, Lena Tambs and Jason Silverman
Hosted by: The Centre of Excellence in Ancient Near Eastern Empires (ANEE)
The last decade has seen an explosion in the application of digital
methods in the humanities from LiDAR scanning of archaeological
features, 3D models for visualizing artefacts, to network science
applications for exploring interaction and mobility, and even textual
data. Despite many cross-disciplinary successes, the reality remains
that many of these new tools of analysis are borrowed from other
disciplines - computer science, sociology, physics, and/or ecology –
highlighting the need for building cross-disciplinary bridges. This is
especially true for historians and archaeologists working diachronically
across large geographic areas and time periods, with incomplete and
fragmentary data requiring thinking outside the box. This conference
aims to do just that, with a focus on recent and current work conducted
on the east Mediterranean and the ancient Near East.
By bringing together scholars from a wide range of fields and academic
disciplines, our goal is to engage in friendly and informal dialogue on
the application of digital methods for studying networks and complexity
in past societies. In addition to the two days of talks, we also offer a
series of hands-on workshops in the two days leading up to the
conference, through which you can further develop your skills and
broaden your digital horizons.
Although our focus is on the eastern Mediterranean and the ancient Near
East, we welcome any contribution that discuss, address, and/or explore
historical and archaeological networks from a wide range of digital
perspectives. What new approaches or tools have you been using to
explore your data and what collaborations (if any) did you find most
fruitful in this goal?
Contributions can include, but are not limited to:
- New digital methods or tools for studying historical, archaeological,
or lexical datasets
- Modelling - spatial, statistical, material datasets
- Geospatial analysis, methods, and applications
- Exploring trade routes, mobility, interaction, migration of people,
things and ideas
- Integration of spatial and material datasets
- Diachronic, multi-scalar analyses using digital methods
- Traditional SNA applied to historical datasets
- Agent Based Modelling (ABM)
- Digital materiality
- Text mining and analysis
- Novel visualization methods and analysis of datasets
- Digital methods and community archaeology/heritage management in the
Middle East
- ANE imperial dynamics and social networks
Please submit your abstract (max. 300 words)
to___ConnectedPastHelsinki@gmail.com_by 30 April 2023 (extended!).
Unsure if your paper topic would be a good fit? Send us an email, and we
will be happy to clarify.
The Connected Past 2023will take place in Helsinki from September
12-15, hosted by the Centre of Excellence in Ancient Near Eastern
Empires (ANEE)at the University of Helsinki. Conference registration
will open in May, with more detailed information on offered workshops.
We endeavour to provide fair and accessible registration fees.
Registration costs will range from 25-50 euros (concessionary, regular).
