Subject: Reminder and deadline extension, Margins22 conference
Dear all,
we are extending the submission deadline for proposals for the On the Margins:
Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities (Margins22) conference to
31 July 2022.
Full details below:
Call for Papers
On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities (Margins22)
Senate House, University of London
December 15-16, 2022
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=margins22
Submission deadline:
July 31, 2022
Since its early days as a series of experimental approaches, the
Hypertext paradigm has proven itself vital in dealing with what Ted
Nelson called “deep structural changes in the arrangements of ideas
and phenomena.” Whether we conceive of Hypertext as non-sequential
writing that branches and allows choices to the reader, or as a body
of written or pictorial material interconnected in such a complex way
that it could not conveniently be represented on paper, thinking in
Hypertext has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life.
In our research lives, Hypertext technologies and methodologies are
similarly amongst the most prominent and visible outcomes of the
“digital age.” Mature products of its investigation by research
communities can be found in the work of Electronic Literature scholars
and practitioners, Hypertext and Hypermedia specialists, and
researchers in the Digital Humanities. However, owing perhaps to their
disparate angles of investigation and the sheer scope of activity,
these research communities remain fragmented and somehow “on the
margins” of wider Humanities and Computer Science scholarship.
We invite members of the Hypertext, Electronic Literature and Digital
Humanities communities, including PhD and Early Career Researchers, to
come together for a two-day conference reflecting on how Hypertext has
shaped our research and creative practices, to build research
opportunities between sympathetic communities, and to envision how to
push the boundaries of Hypertext beyond its current incarnations. We
want to inaugurate a space that will promote debate and connections,
building new understanding at the crossroads between disciplines.
We are planning to hold the conference in person, but can make
arrangements to show pre-recorded presentations if you are unable to
attend.
Call for contributions
CfP link: https://easychair.org/cfp/Margins22
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
Studying digital reading experience
Describing “book history” for digital formats
Redefinitions of authorship and collaboration
New literary forms enabled by electronic literature
Multilingual and translingual digital texts and practices
Transmediality
Born-digital archives, genres and emerging formats
Digital scholarly editions
Approaches to digital inclusion
Pedagogy and hypertext applications
Social media
Experimental or early research
Submission formats
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=margins22
The conference will include three tracks:
Full papers (15-20 minutes)
Posters and Lightning talks (5-10 minutes; PGR and ECR contributions
particularly welcome)
Tutorials for tools and demos
For full papers, we invite extended abstracts of 2,000-4,000 (4-8
pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references.
For posters and lightning talks, we invite extended abstracts of
300-1,000 words (2-4 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format),
plus references.
Accepted abstracts will be published in a peer-reviewed, Open Access
volume in the Conference Proceedings of ACM series.
See this page for submission templates;<https://chi2022.acm.org/for-
authors/presenting/papers/chi-publication-formats/> both Word and LaTeX formats
available.
The choice of the extended abstract format bridges practices between
the Humanities and Hypertext communities, promoting the inclusion of
scholars at different career stages and leaving a lasting legacy for
the conference that can continue to benefit the research community.
Please note that not all elements of the template will be relevant to
all submissions.
For tutorials, proposals should provide the following information:
title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance
to the conference theme (not more than 1000 words);
full contact information for all tutorial instructors, including a
one-paragraph statement summarising their research interests and areas
of expertise;
description of target audience and expected number of participants
(based, if possible, on past experience);
any special requirements for technical support
a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in
approximately 2 hours, plus breaks
Confirmed Keynote speakers

Subject: Humanity and technology: In conversation with Jo Guldi - Two events with Jo Guldi and Living with Machines project (8 July 2022)
Dear colleagues,
I would be delighted to invite you, on behalf of my project Living with
Machines, to join us for two events with Professor Jo Guldi. As you will
all know, Professor Guldi has been an important proponent of digital
methods in the humanities, and the related mission to return to the
longue durée history (as per her 2014 co-authored book /The History
Manifesto). /In these two events, she will share insights into recently
published historical research on global land rights and land reform and
understand more about how the humanities is an area of extreme potential
for growth in data science.
Event 1
Jo warns of an age of pseudo-history promoted by GPT-3 and easy
algorithms, fuelling nationalism and populism. Jo will contrast the
naive use of algorithms with "hybrid knowledge," the exciting domain
where data-driven analysis of large-scale textual repositories meets
critical thinking from the humanities and social sciences. This event is
suited for a cross-disciplinary audience.
Event 2
Jo will present on her latest book, /The Long Land War/(Yale UP 2022),
which tells a story as old as human history: the global struggle over
food, water, land, and shelter. The Long Land War focuses on technology
and expertise.

Subject: CFP: New Technologies and Renaissance Studies (RSA 2023)
Dear colleagues,
The call for papers for the New Technologies and Renaissance Studies
panels at the Renaissance Society of America annual meeting in San Juan
(9–11 March 2023) is currently open until 31 July. Please find the CFP
below and feel free to circulate it in your communities. We're happy to
answer any questions in the meantime.
Sincerely,
Andie Silva and Elizabeth Grumbach, on behalf of the ITER Conference
Committee
New Technologies and Renaissance Studies at RSA 2023
Since 2001, the Renaissance Society of America annual meetings have
featured “New Technologies and Renaissance Studies” panels on the
applications of new technology in scholarly research, publishing, and
teaching. Panels at the 2023 meeting will continue to explore the
contributions made by new and emerging methodologies and the projects
that employ them.
For RSA San Juan, we welcome proposals for papers and roundtables on new
technologies and their impact on research, teaching, publishing, and
beyond, in the context of Renaissance Studies. Examples of the many
areas considered by members of our community can be found in the list of
papers presented at the RSA since 2001 (https://www.itergateway.org/NTRS
panels_subventions); some have also later been published in Iter Press’s
New Technologies and Renaissance Studies series (https://goo.gl/S5Q5MN
<https://goo.gl/S5Q5MN>).
Please send proposals before *Sunday, July 31* to
<iter.newtechnologies.rsa@gmail.com>. Your proposal should
include a title, 150-word abstract, and one-paragraph biographical CV.
We are pleased to be able to offer a limited number of travel grants on
a competitive basis to graduate students and newly-emerging scholars who
present on these panels; those wishing to be considered for a grant
should indicate this in their submission.
We thank Iter: Gateway to the Middle Ages & Renaissance
(https://www.itergateway.org) for its generous sponsorship of this series
and its related travel subventions since 2001.
