The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities is pleased to announce its second annual conference, to be held at the University of Tokyo, Japan, 15-17 September, 2012. The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals on all aspects of digital humanities internationally, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with the ways that humanistic studies are being inherited by humanities scholars in the digital age.
In this decade, the digitization of cultural resources has been carried out extensively by various projects and organizations, taking
the ever-growing Internet as the main infrastructure. However, in Japan, such activities have tended to be carried out by practitioners and researchers of information technology--often without sufficient cooperation with humanities scholars. Therefore, one of the aims of JADH2012 is to raise awareness regarding the efforts of humanities researchers and to have some discussion about this area, so that we may provide new support for various approaches toward inheriting humanities in the digital age.
Proposals might relate to the following aspects of digital humanities:
Research issues, including data mining, information design and modeling, software studies, and humanities research enabled through the digital medium; computer-based research and computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship.
Some examples might include text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning, and endangered languages; the digital arts, architecture, music, film, theater, new media and related areas; the creation and curation of humanities digital resources; the role of digital humanities in academic curricula;
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 April 2012.
Presenters will be notified of acceptance on 16 May 2012.
Abstracts should be of approximately 500 words in length in English, and should clearly state:
1. The type of presentation (poster, short paper, long paper or panel)
