The Doctoral Programme in Digital Humanities of the Universities of Genoa and Turin invites doctoral students to participate in the interdisciplinary conference “Digital Connections: A Dialogue around Languages, Arts, Cultures, and Technologies” to be held at the University of Genoa on 26 and 27 June 2025.
Argument:
This conference aims to explore not only how digital tools have radically transformed practices and possibilities in humanities research, but also how the humanist’s critical and reflective approaches influence the Information and Communication Technologies (ITC). This bidirectional exchange favours a reflection on the transformations and connections these dynamics generate in art, languages, cultures, and, more broadly, the humanities.
Participants are invited to contribute with abstracts regarding the following three areas of research and their related technologies and methodologies:
- Multimedia technologies and digitisation for arts, entertainment and cultural heritage: transformations in the production and reception processes of artistic and multimedia works, digital technologies for digitisation, preservation, and fruition of artistic, linguistic, architectural, documentary heritage, archival science, performing arts, virtual museums;
- Computational methods and technologies for linguistics, literatures, and cultures: translation studies, lexicography, semantics, sociolinguistics, onomastics and toponymy; multilingualism and language interference, text analysis using AI, big data, NLP, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, applied linguistics, analysis of literary works and information extraction from texts using digital approaches (scalable reading);
- Education technologies and digital learning environments: teaching strategies for learning, new technologies and artificial intelligence for teaching, game-based learning, special pedagogy, museum education.
