DHd Annual Conference PASSAU 2024
Conference theme “DH Quo Vadis”
It has been a decade since the representatives of the DHd – Association for
Digital Humanities in the German Speaking Area first gathered in Passau for
the annual conference.
The conference has since been held in various locations in Germany and
other German-speaking countries.
As we approach the DHd2024, it is an opportunity to reflect on the progress
made within the discipline and develop future perspectives.
Over the past ten years, not only has the DHd community steadily grown, but
the fields of research and the applications of digital humanities have also
evolved and transformed.
Digital methods and tools have become integral to everyday research and
various aspects of life, with digitization being a prominent topic in
public discourse, such as artificial intelligence and big data.
Therefore, the Digital Humanities have consistently faced the task of
accompanying and providing crucial support in this process, especially in
offering interpretation and assistance.
This raises questions such as:
How can the Digital Humanities meet the increasing demands in areas such as
sustainability, ethics, data protection, interdisciplinary collaboration,
and data-intensive research?
How will the field of DH develop in the next ten years?
What are the current and future challenges facing DH?
Which methods should be further pursued, and which ones should be
reconsidered?
For DH researchers, who benefit from the interdisciplinary approach and
have access to a wide range of methods, it is a challenge to maintain an
overview and adequately assess all approaches.
For instance, digital methods and tools need to be critically examined and
their application to diverse subject areas critically questioned.
This process also involves learning from failures and leveraging both
positive and negative experiences from the last decade.
The DHd2024 conference will provide a platform to exchange these
experiences and discuss potential avenues for development.
The representatives of the field have the responsibility of addressing
these challenges and shaping the future of DH through collaborative
discussions, to meet the demands of a changing digital society.
Possible topics for submissions:
- Methodological and technical perspectives for the future
- Artificial intelligence and its role in the humanities
- The impact of Digital Humanities in public discourse
- Citizen Science and Digital Humanities
- Reflections on ten years of DH in the German-speaking areas: trends,
successes, and failures
- Current status of standardization efforts: standardized vocabularies,
ontologies, markup languages, etc.
Besides these focus areas, submissions on any topic related to Digital
Humanities are welcome.
Additionally, both positive and negative project results can be presented
and discussed.
Submission Requirements
The following may be submitted:
Presentations (submission of at least 1500, maximum 2000 words)
Presentations in the Doctoral Consortium (submission of at least 500,
maximum 750 words)
Panels (minimum three, maximum six participants, submission of at least
1200, maximum 1500 words)
Posters (minimum 500, maximum 750 words)
Pre-conference half-day or full-day workshops (minimum submission 1200
words, maximum 1500 words)
To submit, register on ConfTool (https://www.conftool.net/dhd2024/) and
upload a dhc file created using the DHConvalidator web service for peer
review. Additionally, provide a short summary of approximately 100-150
words in ConfTool. The accepted submissions, which are considered as
citable small publications, will be published individually and in the
conference publication on the Zenodo Community of the DHd Association. They
will also be featured on the conference website and program with short
abstracts. The DHConvalidator provides a template for submitting in Word or
OpenOffice formats, which includes guidelines for citations, references,
and bibliography.
The deadline for submissions is 19th July 2023, at 23:59 CEST.
Please note that, like in previous years, this deadline will not be
extended.
The review process will follow an open peer review system, where the names
of submitters and reviewers will be disclosed to each other (known as open
identities). However, the actual reviews will not be published.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by 2nd November 2023. For any
submission-related queries, please contact dhd2024@uni-passau.de via email.
The main languages of exchange in the DHd community are German and English.
Proposals can be submitted in German as well as in English. We encourage
all participants to present their contributions to the conference in
German, but contributions in English are also welcome.
It is understood that accepted submissions will be presented by the
submitters in person and on site.
Each individual may submit only one talk or poster (as the presenting
person in ConfTool) and can give only one talk. Co-authorship is limited to
a maximum of two additional oral or poster submissions. Furthermore, each
individual can be involved in a maximum of one panel or workshop submission.
DHd working groups are allowed one additional submission (workshop, panel,
or poster), clearly identified as such. For submissions with multiple
contributors, it is recommended to use the CRediT taxonomy
(https://credit.niso.org/) to indicate the roles of each contributor in a
footnote at the beginning of the submission (e.g., “Contributor Roles:
Firstname1 Name1 (Conceptualization), Firstname2 Name2 (Software),
Firstname3 Name3 (Writing – review & editing)”).An academic paper typically
includes a bibliography at the end. The word count does not include the
words in the bibliography or captions. All other words are counted.
A good submission adheres to the principles of sound research work,
providing a substantial and formally structured description of the research
question, materials, methods, and results. Please note that submissions
should be concise yet complete academic publications suitable for
publication. If you are uncertain about the format of the submission, we
recommend referring to successful examples from the previous conference.
The Book of Abstracts for DHd2023 offers an overview of accepted
presentations, panels, posters, and workshops. Additionally, the review
process handout (in German) for the DHd annual conferences is a helpful
resource.
Possible formats:
Individual presentations (20′ presentation + 10′ discussion; submission
of at least 1500, maximum 2000 words): Unpublished results or developments
of significant new methods or digital resources and/or a methodological or
theoretical concept should be presented. Presentation submissions should
contextualise the research contribution in an appropriate way against the
background of the current state of research and clearly demonstrate its
significance for the (digital) humanities or a respective sub-field
thereof. For projects without interim results, the poster format is
recommended.For accepted presentation submissions, a camera-ready version
of max. 2,500 words must be submitted by 01.12.2023, taking into account
the expert opinions.
Presentations in the Doctoral Consortium (submission of at least 500,
maximum 750 words): The promotion of young researchers is a particular
concern of the annual conferences of the Dhd. For this reason,
presentations can be submitted separately to a Doctoral Consortium to
present dissertation projects of selected participants. In addition to the
opportunity to present one’s own research topic, feedback from the
specialist audience can also be obtained in this way to further develop
one’s own doctoral project thematically and methodologically. The focus is
on the initial phase of the doctorate. Doctoral candidates with advanced
projects are therefore encouraged to submit individual presentations (see
above).Exposés (500-750 words, plus bibliography) for the Doctoral
Consortium can be submitted in the usual way via the ConfTool as a
contribution of the type (conference track) “Doctoral Consortium” until 19
July 2023. The best submissions will be invited to the Doctoral Consortium.
For them, the participation fee for the conference will be waived; in
addition, the costs for an overnight stay will be covered by the
organisers, if possible. Additional accommodation and travel costs will be
borne by the participants themselves.In addition, it is planned to award
travel grants to lecturers and participants who have little or no financial
resources within the framework of their own positions and projects.
Participants in the Doctoral Consortium will also be able to apply for
these travel grants. A separate call will be published for the travel
grants.
Panels (minimum three, maximum six participants including moderator; 60′
panel discussion, 30′ Q&A from audience; minimum submission 1200, maximum
1500 words): Panels provide an opportunity for three to six participants to
discuss a topic that goes beyond the scope of a single project, project
network or research centre. Panels should not be composed exclusively of
participants from the same project. It is encouraged to submit panels
related to the conference theme and to give the audience the chance to
discuss controversial topics. Care should be taken to ensure that a panel
is staffed according to diversity criteria. It is expected that no more
than one third of the 90-minute session will be devoted to prepared
statements and that the debate within the panel will allow sufficient time
for discussion with the audience. Panel organisers will submit a brief
description of the topic of at least 1200 words, maximum 1500 words, and
confirm the willingness of the listed individuals to participate in the
panel. For the acceptance of a panel submission, the stringent presentation
of the thematic or methodological coherence of the individual contributions
is of decisive importance.
Posters (minimum submission 500 words, maximum 750 words): Posters can be
submitted on any topic of the Call for Papers. They may also describe the
status of individual projects in a descriptive manner. The posters will
each be published together with the submissions in the Zenodo Community of
the DHd Association under a CC-BY licence. Posters that are accepted for
presentation must therefore be submitted by the presenters as a file via
ConfTool by 28.02.2024 at the latest. Further information on the procedure
will be communicated to the poster presenters after acceptance.
Pre-conference workshops (half day/4 h to two half days/8 h incl. breaks;
submission of at least 1200, maximum 1500 words): In addition to teaching,
training or tutorial formats (e.g. on specific topics, technologies, tools,
key skills), collaborative forms of work on topics and/or data (e.g.
hackathons, bar camps, tool testing) and longer meetings of DHd working
groups geared towards a predefined output can also be submitted. Workshops
will last half a day (4 hours, including break) or two half days (7-8
hours, including breaks) and will take place on Monday and Tuesday of the
conference week. Submissions must include the following information:
Title and a brief description of the topic (minimum 1200, maximum 1500
words), full contact details of all contributors and a paragraph on their
research interests.
Details of the format
Information on the target audience, in particular on necessary prior
knowledge
The number of possible participants
Information on any technical equipment required
The call for papers specific to the workshop, if one is published.
Workshop leaders are expected to register for the conference. Only
presenters who are not otherwise participating in other events of the
conference can be exempted from registration.
