humanities computing and the internet

We’re excited to announce a Call for Contributors to the Handbook of Humanities Podcasting, under contract with Palgrave MacMillan. Contributors will explore how the present-day humanities look different from the perspectives of people who create podcasts and teach podcasting, and what futures for the humanities and its disciplines podcasting can open up. Contributions will consist of a short essay (3000 words) and participation in a podcast recording. 

Generative AI has upended ways of visualizing, reading, and interpreting texts, whether in makerspaces, on publishing platforms, or on college campuses. The use of generative AI raises questions about authorship, copyright, authenticity, originality, and integrity—all critical matters that lie at the heart of Adaptation Studies scholarship.

Code as ConversationTransmedia Dialogues Around Critical Code Studies 

University of Cambridge, Saturday 1 June, 2024

‘Hello World!’ is how all computer programmers begin, and it’s how Mark C. Marino opens his manifesto for critical code studies. This elementary exercise in coding, accompanied by the instruction PRINT, demonstrates that “code exists not for machines but for humans who need to communicate with the machine and with other humans.” The code we write enables us to interface with the machine, sitting somewhere between human language and the calculations performed by the computer. 

Generative AI promises to revolutionize many facets of social and economic life. The creative power of generative machine learning has been held up as a tool that will transform the work of artists and creators. Yet generative models have also been implicated in the unfair use of intellectual property, the propagation of existing social biases, and the facilitation of a wide range of disruptions to an already precarious labor market.

This guaranteed panel will address the ethical issues of generative AI, focusing on the overlap between creativity and harm. How can the literary humanities help foster an ethics for creativity in the age of generative AI?

Essays sought for a survey of 1960s military operations such as: COINTELPRO (US); CHAOS (US); Phoenix (Vietnam); Condor (South America); ORDEN (El Salvador); Jakarta (Indonesia); OBAN (Brazil) and other operations that networked societies prior to the Internet. Focus on how evident or non-evident the communications were that supported these operations; the staffing and hardware; how operations were used; and, how they contributed to social and financial inequality and political polarization, in the populations they monitored.

As scholars’ engagement with media-archaeological study have increased, so have students’ interest in the field’s approaches, methods, and philosophies. Many courses on media history and theory today include sessions focused on media archaeology.
