humanities computing and the internet

Will digital transformation allow for a reinvention of the articulation of art, culture, science and
technology?

What interactions can be established between the Humanities and digital transformation?
What is the long-term impact of digital transformation on the teaching-learning process
within the Humanities?

Quintessential figures of the Renaissance, such as Leonardo da Vinci, articulated art, culture, science and
technology. In the 21st century, we are once again living in an era of civilizational paradigm shift, as digital
transformation imposes transformative possibilities and challenges.

The Mid-Atlantic Review seeks scholarly articles, position papers, short fiction, poems, and pedagogical reflections for its Special 2025 Issue focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the span of a year or two, generative AI has posed unprecedented challenges to and opportunities for higher education, the humanities, and the arts. Intellectual, pedagogical, and artistic engagement with this emerging technology is vital in our current world and this issue of The Mid-Atlantic Review encourages such engagement. We are also looking for original photographs or artwork related to the Mid-Atlantic region. Ethically produced AI art related to the Mid-Atlantic region would be of particular interest for this issue.

“Rooted as it is by feminism, cyberfeminism is an imperfect umbrella term,” Mindy Seu frames her archival project Cyberfeminism Index. Though it traces the same exclusions and western biases of feminist history, she writes, the Web 1.0 term “cyberfeminism” also provides a quick shorthand for the much broader expanse of art, activism, community, and scholarship of its many branches, including “Cyberfeminism 2.0, black cyberfeminism, xenofeminism, post-cyber feminism, glitch feminism, Afrofuturism, and hackfeministas, transhackfeminism, 넷페미 (netfemi), 女权之声 (feminist voices), among others" (https://cyberfeminismindex.com/about).

Call for Papers and Book Chapters

Modern Language Studies, the journal of the Northeast Modern Language Association, is seeking reviews for the summer 2025 issue. In recent years, the temperature has risen around free speech debates, and books on censorship and free speech come out with such frequency that it is hard to keep abreast of the new scholarship. I am interested in receiving reviews and review essays on academic books published in the last several years that are in some way related to free speech. The books to be reviewed can center on any historical, geographical, or disciplinary context, and the reviews and review essays can be written from (almost) any theoretical perspective.

From election campaigns to marches for equal rights in a patriarchal society, the digital landscape in South Asia has commanded a space which was not easily possible before the digital revolution. In the same breadth, fake news and propaganda narrative has also marred noble causes which hinders this evolutionary social mobility enabled by the digital media. In this scenario, the digital space becomes a double-edged sword where the dominant narrative can be deemed as the ‘truth’. Weaving through the complexity created by opposing narratives, this panel would involve discussions about the medium and culture of the digital world as well to further contextualize echo chambers and shadow bans, which act as filters of information.

Scope

From Golumbia’s The Cultural Logic of Computation (2009): 

I argue that we must also keep in mind the possibility of de-emphasizing computerization, resisting the intrusion of computational paradigms into every part of the social structure, and resisting too strong a focus on computationalism as the solution to our social problems. This study is written in the belief that computationalism aids some of the pernicious effects of institutional power; and that the best solutions to our pressing social problems lie in the social fabric itself and in social action, and less than we may imagine via computational transformation.
