CALL FOR PAPERS AND PERFORMANCES

DRHA 2013 Conference:



University of Winchester

DRHA 2013: Digital Research in the Humanities and Arts



Reconceptualising Digital Creativity; Re-mapping Behaviour,

Engagement and the way we Archive in the 21st Century;



Date: Sunday 21st July - Wednesday 24th July 2013.



The theme of this conference will focus on the need to re-conceptualize 
the ways in which we engage with digital technology in particular regard 
to the speed with which we are exposed to new technologies. As societies 
around the world face fundamental ecological, demographic and economic 
changes, we are forced to re-evaluate our relationship with natural and 
digital resources. Also, as the next generation of digital natives start 
to design new interactive futures, the old paradigms of knowledge 
exchange, and social interaction are making way for socialized gaming 
and crowd sourcing. The focus for this conference will be to 
re-imagining new and contemporary ways for designing digital engagement, 
looking at possible events and social practices that lay just around the 
corner. Interdisciplinary processes are assumed strategies in this 
conference so that we can focus on how we can, using contemporary 
technology, map the emerging digital and social landscape
