> ==============================================
>
> ALLC/ACH 2002 invites submissions of between 750 and 1500 words on any
> aspect of humanities computing or new media, broadly defined to
> encompass the common ground between information technology and problems
> in humanities research and teaching. The theme for the 2002 conference
> is 'New Directions in Humanities Computing'.  Hence, while as always, we
> welcome submissions in any area of the humanities, especially
> interdisciplinary work, for the 2002 conference we especially encourage
> submissions on the current state of the art in humanities computing, and
> on recent new developments and expected future developments in the
> field.
>
> Recent years have seen enormous advances in information
> technologies, and an enormous growth in the use of IT resources for
> research and teaching in the humanities. How exactly are these
> developments changing the ways in which humanities scholars work?
> What new and distinct methodologies is IT now bringing to the
> humanities? How do we expect methodologies, and the role of the
> humanities scholar, to change in the near future as a result of the
> impact of IT? How are IT-related developments in one discipline
> affecting or likely to affect those in others? The time is ripe to
> survey and assess developments to date in humanties computing, and
> its likely future directions.
>
> Suitable subjects for proposals would also include:
>
> * new approaches to research in humanities disciplines using digital
>     resources dependent on images, audio, or video
> * the application to humanities data of techniques developed in such
>     fields as information science and the physical sciences and
>     engineering;
> * traditional applications of computing in the humanities, including
>     (but not limited to) text encoding, hypertext, text corpora,
>     computational lexicography, statistical models, and text analysis;
> * applications in the digital arts, especially projects and
>     installations that feature technical advances of potential interest
>     to humanities scholars;
> * information design in the humanities, including visualization,
>     simulation, and modeling;
> * pedagogical applications of new media within the humanities;
> * thoughtful considerations of the cultural impact of computing and
>     new media;
> * theoretical or speculative treatments of new media;
> * the institutional role of new media within the contemporary
>     academy, including curriculum development and collegial support for
>     activities in these fields;
> * the broader social role of humanities computing and the resources
>     it develops.
