Workshop description & call (now closed)

After a general round of discussion on the Digital Humanities as a method and subject matter at the Anglistentag 2016 in Hamburg followed up by a panel on “Digital Humanities and the Future of the University” and a section entitled "Digital Humanities: The Role of the Digital in English Philology" at the Anglistentag 2017 in Regensburg, we would like to take the opportunity of this year’s Anglistentag in Bonn to present “The Digital in English Philology: Methods, Projects, Perspectives.” We invite poster presentations and demos of existing projects in English philology (including linguistics, literary and cultural studies, as well as methodology and didactics “Fachdidaktik”). The projects will be allotted some physical space in an open format that allows everyone to explore them, the methods they use, and perspectives they offer. Our overall aim is to strengthen the “Anglistik” perspective in the Digital Humanities as well as to show what digital projects may offer to everyone concerned with English linguistics, literature and culture. The workshop's poster presentations and demo (see below) will be framed by a plenary discussion to give workshop participants an opportunity to exchange ideas and engage in a discussion of the ongoing digital developments in English philology.

Please send a short abstract (200-300 words) and – if exists - a link to the project website to Sabine Bartsch and Angelika Zirker.

Deadline: 29 July 2018 (call now closed)

Notification of participants: mid-August
