VIA PANORAMICA is accepting contributions for its thematic and varia sections, reviews and translations for our 2024 winter issue!
THEMATIC SECTION
Pioneered by English Departments, digital humanities comprehends the integration of computation in the humanities, but that alone does not define it. Digital humanities has an ever-new and experimental character as well as a proud miscellaneous background, which turns it into an appealing course and, at the same time, a feared curse in Academia.
Digital humanities brings together different currents of thought, multiple areas of study and a myriad of points of view that, in the end, converge into an always-flowing whirlpool of people, topics, and projects, otherwise referred to as the “Big Tent”. It is exactly through this sometimes-contrasting nature and that miscellaneous background that digital humanities comes together, working as a powerful whirlpool that embraces the disparities to become relevant and makes the exciting risks of failing worth taking. Indeed, digital humanities leads us to the maelstrom. Yes, a maelstrom in the sense that it combines the sometimes-apparent opposite drives of different areas, scholars, and practitioners, defying the long-established views traditionally associated with humanities scholarship to, instead, suggest a values-oriented approach based on collaboration, experimentation, openness, and diversity. In this thematic section we ask for papers that stimulate critical reflections on the contributions of digital humanities to Anglo-American studies and its distinct character within the field.
Suggested but not limited topics:
- Distant reading and computer-assisted close reading;
- Integration of AI in digital humanities research;
- Digital humanities’ values and experiences;
- Participatory approaches in digital humanities;
- Theoretical and methodological integration with literary studies;
- Visualization and text mining methods;
- Other topics relevant to the area in question.
VARIA SECTION
Besides our thematic section, VIA PANORAMICA also invites submissions on topics, authors and works within Anglo-American Studies that fall into the journal’s global scope for our “Varia” section.
