CFP: Digital Humanities Forum, Return to the Material, University of Kansas

The Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Kansas has issued a CFP for their 2013 Digital Humanities Forum: Return to the Material.

From the CFP:

We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers, posters or panel sessions on topics from your own research that focus on the relationship between the digital and the material, such as:

  • How the digital deforms, reforms, and transforms the material, and vice-versa;
  • Innovative computational approaches to the close reading of text, map, image or audio;
  • The implications for humanities scholarship and pedagogy of digital-to-physical conversion tools, wearable computers, and augmented reality technologies (e.g. 3-D printing, electronic textiles, Google Glass)
  • The future of physical objects and collections in a digital world;
  • The materiality of music, art, or film in the digital age;
  • Digital humanities as a key mode of addressing technological change;
  • The recognition of craft in building, creating and accessing electronic materials;
  • How the apparent wild experimentation of DH reveals substantial and tangible insights;
  • and other related topics.

Proposals, in the form of 500-word abstracts, are due June 1, 2013.
