Call for Proposal, DH conference #dhiha9 23-25 October 2024 in Paris

HDSM is co-organising a conference on the history of Digital History. Next autumn, from October 23rd to 25th 2024, a Digital Humanities conference “Revolutionary, disruptive, or just repeating itself? Tracing the History of Digital History #dhiha9” will be hosted at the German Historical Institute Paris. We cordially invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to participate in this event. The application deadline is January 10th, 2024. For a detailed description of the event and information about paper submission, please visit the conference website. This conference aims to explore the growing interest in the history of digital humanities from various perspectives. It will provide an overview of ongoing research in the field and facilitate discussions on topics such as:
    • Theorising the human-machine encounter in historical research (for example by applying insights from the history of technology and media history).
    • The history of digital history in the context of the history of historiography (how to situate the field, historically, within the broader discipline).
    • Consideration of how the history of digital history can illuminate wider conversations and cognate fields, such as the history of the humanities and the history and philosophy of knowledge.
    • Local/national case studies of computing in historical research.
    • Transnational dimensions and entangled histories of digital history.
    • Genealogy of theories and concepts of digital history and historical computing (including definitions in various languages and, for example, concepts such as digital hermeneutics).
    • Socio-cultural and other dimensions, including how race, gender and labour have co-constituted such histories.
    • Development of digital practices, methods, and tools in historical perspective.
    • Development of teaching methods of digital history in historical perspective.
