Subject: [CfP] Web/Comics workshop, HT'24 conference
Dear Humanist list members,
Please find below a Call for Papers for the second Web/Comics workshop, co-
located with the Hypertext 2024 conference.
***Submission deadline 15 June 2024 ****
Web/Comics 2024: Creativity in Small Spaces is the second in a new workshop
series for the ACM Hypertext conference https://ht.acm.org/ht2024/. Web/Comics
2024 wants to investigate whether webcomics exemplify the expansion of hypertext
beyond the linearity of information processing systems into a type of
interactivity that is nonlinear (multicursal) and ludic. It uses webcomics to
explore the boundaries of hypertext, for example by assessing its utility to the
reader or user and its effects on “readers’ ongoing process of establishing
meaning and coherence. At the same time, it asks how profoundly new tools such
as text-to-image models and other forms of generative AI are altering comics
production and consumption.
The workshop will be held in conjunction with the Hypertext 2024
conference, 10-13 September, at the University of Poznań, Poland. The workshop
will take place in a hybrid modality. While in-person attendance is preferred,
we will allow remote presentations to maximize inclusivity.
Participants are asked to submit a short lightning paper (2-4 pages)
representing current work or original thinking in this area with the intention
of encouraging interactive group discussion. The work presented should directly
engage with the hypertextual specificity of webcomics.
