The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) is organising a two day conference and workshop on occasion of the official launch of the Ranke.2 project, its teaching platform for Digital Source Criticism.
The conference and workshop will revolve around the concept of “digital hermeneutics”, defined as the critical and self-reflexive use of digital tools and technologies for the development of new research questions, the testing of analytical assumptions and the production of sophisticated scientific interpretations.
This two-day event will address both the theory and practice of digital hermeneutics,
For the conference day we invite abstracts for individual papers of 30 minutes or complete sessions of 90 minutes. The maximum amount of words for individual papers is 500; in case of a session please submit a 500 word introduction with abstracts of the session’s papers of 300 words.
Possible topics include:
For the workshop day we invite proposals for sessions that can last from 90 to 120 minutes, and that should contain a clear objective of what the workshop aims to accomplish. The proposal should describe the envisaged interaction with and take away for participants, which could be in the form of practical guidelines or example case studies that can be emulated.
