Next Monday is Labor Day so we’ve labored to post next week’s topic today: the Digital Humanities Quarterly Special Issue on AudioVisual DH CFP that address digital humanities approaches to audio and/or visual data.
The co-editors will feature DH scholars in fields such as art history, history, film studies, media studies, musicology, oral history, and sound studies, who have long understood the historical and contemporary centrality of audio and/or visual (AV) to knowledge production. The issue will demonstrate how inquiry into AV materials is shaping DH and how DH is reshaping AV scholarship. It is guided by three questions:
- What are digital and computational approaches to sound, images, and time-based media?
- How do these methods and approaches produce new knowledge and shift scholarship in a particular scholarly domain?
- What are the challenges and possible futures for AV in DH?
They invite multimedia articles as well as written articles (short articles between 1,500 – 3,000 and long articles between 3,000 – 8,000 words), reviews, software, and case studies. Abstracts (500 words with a short bibliography) are due September 20, 2019.
