Subject: [CfP] VIS4DH - Storytelling and Narrative in Visualization for the Humanities
We are happy to announce that the 8th edition of VIS4DH — the Workshop on
Visualization for the Digital Humanities — will take place as part of IEEE VIS
2023 <http://ieeevis.org/year/2023/welcome> in Melbourne, Australia.
For 7 years now, the VIS4DH workshop has brought together researchers and
practitioners from the fields of visualization and the humanities to discuss new
research directions at the intersection of visualization and (digital)
humanities research. The general aim is to foster productive collaborations that
mutually advance all fields involved.
This year VIS4DH is taking inspiration from the conference’s host country by
focusing on storytelling and narrative. Like other forms of communication,
visualizing data is a way of telling stories. Just presenting data is not
enough: it is also important to structure, sequence, and engage with the
information being presented.
You can contribute to VIS4DH 2023 in two ways - you can submit to the Paper
track <https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#papers> (with an option to publish your work
at IEEE Xplore), or you can submit to the Exhibits & Provocations
track<https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#provocations>.
For the paper track, we seek works from scholars in visualization, the
humanities, social science, and the arts who use visualization as part of
analyzing and interrogating human culture. Submissions will present original
research ideas or results as they relate to visualization for the digital
humanities.
Paper Track Submission Deadline
3 July 2023, 5 PM PST
Paper Notification
3 August 2023
Camera Ready Deadline
18 August 2023
Submissions to the VIS4DH Exhibits & Provocations track are meant to capture
alternate forms of participation beyond a standard conference paper. Potential
submission types include: viewpoints, works of art, performance, art criticism
or an overview/exhibition of a research center.
Exhibits & Provocations Track Submission Deadline
18 August 2023, 5 PM PST
Exhibits & Provocations Notification

7th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
(1st International Workshop Giannis Pountos)
Communicatiοn of Science and Literature in the multiverse
Aegina, Aegina Island, Greece July 3-5, 2023
Call for papers
The International Commission on Science and Literature DHST/IUHPST, The
Municipality of Aegina, The Association of the Greek Physicists Society,
The Science, Technology and Medicine Laboratory of the School of
Humanities, Hellenic Open University, The Institute of Historical
Research, National Hellenic Research Foundation, The Chair of Science,
Technology and Gender Studies, Friedrich-Alexander University, and the
Department of Sociology of the University of Athens organize a three-day
workshop to study the Communication of Science and Literature in the
multiverse. The CoSciLit workshop has already an established tradition
and papers presented in it have been published in thematic volumes,
e-books, international journals etc.
This year’s workshop aims to discuss various views on the role and
presence of science and literature communication in a highly diversified
world. Science Diplomacy is also a main subject of the workshop as it is
connected with our questions for the past, the present and the future of
the world in various ways. The mainstream idea about science and
technology is that they are products of rational thinking and objective
facts. Communication practices conforming to this idea aim at spreading
the word of science across borders as if it were neutral and
cross-cultural. Recent crises, though, showed that different cultural
contexts bear different worldviews not only concerning cultural and
social matters, but also concerning the way the perceive, develop and
apply scientific and technological knowledge. What are the implications
of this realization for the communication of science and science
diplomacy? How can literature help us overcome our biases and develop a
favorable disposition towards cultural diversity, even in issues such as
science and technology? How can literature help us discover cultural
microcosms within our own world and explore their scientific potential?
How can communication contribute to the decolonization of science by
building bridges between different worlds? What is the meaning and the
role of Science Diplomacy in this complex milieu? Such are some
indicative topics and questions that will be discussed during the
workshop. The meeting aims to offer an open forum for all scholars
interested in this growing research field, thus bringing into the
dialogue multiple perspectives and different disciplines in order to
promote creativity, originality, imagination and, of course, communication.
The series of the workshops have been decided to be devoted to Giannis
Pountos, the former director of the Aegina High School, who passed away
recently. Giannis Pountos was not only an exceptional teacher of Physics
and a brilliant science communicator, but also a great person whose
life, based on humanitarian principles, will lead us all as an eternally
shining lighthouse.
Call for Papers:
We invite paper proposals including a title, an abstract of 300 words
(max.), name, and affiliation of the author, as well as contact
information. The presentation time will be 20 minutes with 10 additional
minutes for discussion. The conference language is English. There will
be a modest fee of 70 Euros for covering organizational expenses.
Please send your proposals to gvlahakis@yahoo.com by May 31, 2023.
Acknowledge of acceptance by June 10, 2023.
Location:
The venue of the workshop will be the “Historical and Folk Art Museum”
in the city of Aegina, a neoclassical building donated by the family of
one of the most influential Greek educators P. Ireiotis during the past
century. Aegina has been capital of Greece and a city of important
cultural, scientific, and industrial heritage. Aegina Island is very
close to Piraeus by boat (just one hour!) and an ideal place for a high
quality, inexpensive summer visit.
Participants are kindly asked to make their own arrangements concerning
their arrival and accommodation, but the workshop organizers will be
happy to provide any necessary assistance.
