La Cátedra Jean Monnet de Historia de la Integración Europea y su programa de Investigación “Digital Humanities Luxembourg”, en colaboración con el Centro Virtual del Conocimiento de Europa convocan un Simposio sobre Humanidades Digitales, que se celebrará en Luxemburgo entre los días 20 y 23 de marzo de 2012.
Este congreso, que sigue al que se celebró en 2009, que versaba sobre la Historia Contemporánea en la era digital, tiene como tema el análisis de la web como fuente para la investigación en Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, con un interés especial en las cuestiones relativas a la integración europea.
Las secciones temáticas de este congreso, redactadas en la lengua original de la convocatoria, son las siguientes:
Holding the mirror
This first cluster addresses the challenges and potentialities of online archives offering primary sources for research purposes. It will look into the modes of presentation and theoretical-methodological debates concerning uses, approaches and interconnections of such sources.
The critical added value
This cluster focuses on online secondary sources and enhanced publications, with a special emphasis in digital research corpora. It aims at examining ongoing developments in the intertwining modes between available primary sources and resulting secondary sources centred on the priority of critically commenting and enriching contents as a scientific asset.
(Self-)reflections and the creative observer
This cluster will take a step beyond textual sources to examine the unique features of audiovisual sources and hence of new forms of creation and re-creation of historical memories. A special section within this cluster will be dedicated to innovative digital oral history sources and projects.
Institutional and dissemination aspects: digital public history
This cluster will focus on forms of institutionalisation of digital research practices, results and dissemination strategies by means of collaborative projects in the humanities and social sciences targeted towards a wide variety of audiences.
Web history and digital history methods for the use of websites as sources
Web history constitutes a new scientific field centred on the historical study of websites for research purposes, thus paving the way for increasingly interdisciplinary trends in the humanities and social sciences. This session will offer Web historians the opportunity to share their experiences concerning their ongoing results and chosen methods.
