Based on the huge success of the previous conferences, the Research
Institute for Digital Culture and Humanities (RIDCH) will continue to
organize conferences to promote the sharing of interdisciplinary
research ideas and the dissemination of research findings in digital
culture and humanities. In 2016, the two conferences (A and B), one in
digital humanities and the other in digital culture, will be held in
conjunction to address related issues in the changing landscape and new
possibilities of research in digital culture and digital humanities. The
conferences will serve as a platform to enhance and encourage
interdisciplinary and collaborative research and knowledge exchange
leading to pedagogical advancement and academic publication.

*Conference A: **Digitization and Reconceptualizations of the Humanities *

With the theme of “Digitization and Reconceptualizations of the
Humanities”, the**conference will look into how digitization of
artifacts and literacy practices change the modes of thought in the
humanities. New critical perspectives and sensibilities in literary,
linguistic, cultural, and historical studies will be explored.

You are invited to submit proposals for individual papers, workshops,
and roundtables that address specifically the following topics:

ØShakespeare, Ibsen, Beckett and research in the digital age

ØDigital technologies and their impact on theatre studies and
performance practice

We also welcome contributions that address any issues relevant to the
conference theme, including the following list, which is, of course, not
exhaustive:

ØDigital literacy

ØLiterature in a digital context

ØLiterature, culture and power in the digital age

ØHumanities research enabled through digital technologies

ØThe digital arts, film, music, drama, new media and related humanities
areas

ØCorpus linguistics and computational literary analysis

cultural, and historical studies

ØData creation, curation, and knowledge management for humanities
digital archives and resources

*Conference B: Digital Art and Film*

As digital culture and imaging has changed and challenged traditional
modes of seeing and thinking, the conference aims to address both
theoretical and empirical issues related to digital art forms as a
result of the use of digital media technology, digital cinematic
representation, film literature, film culture, film production, film
marketing and consumption, and film archives, and so forth. It will
encourage discussions on the impacts of digital media on film, people,
and society in the contexts of digitextuality.

You are invited to submit proposals for individual papers, workshops,
and roundtables that address specifically the following topics:

ØDigital art and film

ØSurrealism, heroism, and science fiction in the digital era

ØDigital cinematic representation of martial arts

ØFilm culture and scriptwriting in the dynamics of digital imagining

ØDigital sounds, animation and special effects on cinematic production
