Subject: CFP: Reimagining Annotation for Multimodal Cultural Heritage Conference (Due Oct 1)
Reimagining Annotation for Multimodal Cultural Heritage Conference
7-9 Feb 2024
Rennes (France)
A detailed presentation, call for papers (copied below) and call
modalities are available on the website:
https://reimagining-amch.sciencesconf.org/
The deadline for abstract submission is the 1 October 2023. The
conference shall be held in Rennes, France from 7th to 9th February
2024, and it will be possible to attend online.
Call for papers:
Rapid advances in digital technology are constantly expanding the ways
in which we can annotate multimodal documents, be they texts, images,
videos, sounds, web pages or code. Cultural heritage institutions have
embarked on ambitious campaigns to digitize their collections; at the
same time, born digital heritage joins archival collections. The
valorisation of digital heritage, especially audiovisual documents and
multimodal corpora, is becoming a major issue for both cultural
institutions and researchers. One of the answers consists of creating
annotation interfaces or automating annotation thanks to computational
techniques, both for close and / or distant viewing analysis.
Reimagining annotation for multimodal cultural heritage makes for an
exciting and stimulating landscape, but also engenders a host of
epistemological questions. How can we engage with and organize the
informational hierarchies that emerge from these methods? What are the
affordances and limits of close and distant reading methods and how can
we articulate these two approaches? Faced with a multiplication of
approaches and interfaces, how can we consolidate research and resources
to encourage cumulative, collaborative work to occur? What becomes of
the document’s ontology — notably in the context of time-based media and
the analysis of creative processes — when it integrates a network of
annotations, readings and decompositions?
This conference seeks to interrogate these questions across three
primary axes:
·Axis 1: Tools. We wish to interrogate the tools available for the
annotation of multimodal data and cultural heritage. What is the state
of the art, what tools are available to researchers? What are the issues
developers face when dealing with multimodal data and especially
audiovisual data? How do developers overcome the friction between
powerful computational methods and users?
·Axis 2: Methods. We wish to interrogate the methodologies for
engaging with multimodal data and cultural heritage. How has annotation
in the digital humanities developed with the emergence of computational
techniques? What are the new approaches they allow for? How will the
field develop from an epistemological point of view?
·Axis 3: Projects. We wish to shine a light on projects that have
interrogated these first two axes in academia and the GLAM sector.
We encourage researchers and cultural professionals from a large number
of fields who work along these axes to contribute: the digital
humanities and GLAM professionals, the performing arts, theater, cinema,
music, visual art, history, video games, conservation and archival
professionals, as well as cultural heritage institutions.
