        Subject: Call for contributions (short audio files) to a multimodal edited volume on digital methods in the humanities within German-speaking countries

Dear Colleagues,


I am excited to share with you a call for contributions (short audio files) to a
multimodal edited volume on digital methods in the humanities within German-
speaking countries:

Call for Contributions: Short audios for “5 questions - 1 answer” wanted for the
category “In your own words” of the edited volume “From Global to Local?
Digitale Methoden in den Geisteswissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum: Ein
Triptychon”!

In March, our editorial team issued a “Call for Abstracts” for the upcoming
edited volume “From Global to Local? Digitale Methoden in den
Geisteswissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum: Ein Triptychon“ Link:
https://dhd-blog.org/?p=20783

We are now excited to announce a “Call for Contributions” for the category IN
YOUR OWN WORDS as part of our community outreach!

The edited volume “From Global to Local?” aims to critically examine the
implications of the evolving Digital and Computational Humanities in German-
speaking countries for the self-conception of the humanities and cultural
studies. It will explore the epistemic promises of digital methods and whether
the transformative potential of computing in the humanities has been fully
realized both in research and public spheres. Central to this investigation is
the question of the future and unity of DH, tightly interwoven with the
challenges of curriculum development and academic self-organization.
This project will focus on the German-speaking world, offering a
multiperspective and multimodal examination of both the local and international
histories and forms of digital humanities in this region.

Our editorial approach is open and inclusive: The linear, chronological “grand
narrative” will be “broken up” by organizing the book as a triptych, allowing
space for a variety of perspectives and voices.

The editorial team plans to coordinate the following components of the triptych:
- Melanie Seltmann & Christopher Nunn: BE-FORSCHEN (RESEARCH): “Traditional”
articles
- Ulrike Wuttke & Anne Baillot: IN EIGENEN WORTEN (IN YOUR OWN WORDS):
Audio(visual) formats
- Christian Schröter (née Vater) & Christian Wachter: ARTEFAKTE (ARTEFACTS):
Biographies of artifacts related to the use of computers in the humanities

We invite the community to submit short audio contributions (in German or
English) under the theme "5 Questions – 1 Answer," addressing ONE of the
following questions:

1. What is the contribution of DH to the self-understanding of Humanities
disciplines?
2. Are the transformative potentials of computer use for the Humanities already
exhausted?
3. Which national specificities characterize DH in the German-speaking area and
is there something like a continental tradition of DH?
4. What voices are underrepresented under the DH big tent?
5. Where do you see DH 10 years from now?

If selected, your contributions will be featured in audio segments that will
likely be included in the multimodal edited volume, as well as in the media
repository of the University of Luxembourg and distributed as a podcast under
the CC BY-SA 4.0 license and a PID.

Key Guidelines:
- Length: 1-3 minutes max (Please answer only ONE of the five questions!)
- Please structure your recording as follows: Brief introduction (first and last
name, institution if applicable), e.g., “Hello, my name is XY…”, read the
question you are answering, e.g., “I will answer the following question: (read
question)…”

Recording Tips:
- Pause briefly before answering the question to ease processing
- Speak clearly without sounding rehearsed
- Use a (good) headset or, if unavailable, a computer microphone
- Record in a quiet room with minimal echo (yes, the closet is best!)
- Feel free to do a sound check

Submission and Format:
- We can only use your recording if it is accompanied by a consent form allowing
publication under the CC BY-SA license (link to download the template:
https://fhpcloud.fh-potsdam.de/s/gJ5Aj8monYdsFs9).
- Format: MP3 (File drop via FHP-Cloud with a clear file name
(LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME): https://fhpcloud.fh-potsdam.de/s/J3ZpabsMjsrcFpS
- We strongly encourage you to provide additional information related to your
answer. Submit these details (e.g., a bibliography/links for the show notes)
along with your audio file with a clear file name (LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME).

Please submit your files by September 30, 2024. You will be notified if your
file is accepted for publication. Contact details in the consent form (see
above) are necessary for this purpose.

If you are interested in participating but are unsure, have questions, or lack
the necessary technology, please reach out to lead editor Ulrike Wuttke or the
editorial team at global-local-dh@listserv.dfn.de, and we’ll find a solution.

We look forward to your submissions!

Best regards,

Ulrike Wuttke and Anne Baillot on behalf of the editorial team
