Vienna, Austria
The Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH) and the Austrian Academy of Sciences are organizing on the 26th and 27th of September 2023 the interdisciplinary conference & workshop: "Life Narrative and the Digital 2023".
This two-day conference-plus-workshop aims at bringing together scholars and practitioners from different disciplines, communities, and career stages to explore the possibilities, uses, and challenges of digital methods and technologies for auto/biographical research and practice. Some of the issues to be discussed are the following:
- In what ways can digital methods and technologies aid the study and analysis of biographical data?
- How can the digital help us devise innovative pathways to the representation of historical individuals’ lives? (e.g. digital platforms)
- To what extent do digital formats of life narration tie in with new trends in auto/biographical scholarship and practice? (e.g. metabiography, relational biography, persona studies, group biography, object biography, etc.)
- How do we deal with uncertainty and the issue of data quality in the digital representation of biographical data?
Submission deadline: 26 May 2023
