The main topic of the AIUCD 2017 Conference is the use of big data methods, cultural analytics and distant reading in the Humanities. We would like to explore the methodological and epistemological impact of these methods, their application in the different fields of the Humanities and on various kinds of media and digital resources, their effects on our comprehension of cultural and historical phenomena and, finally, their consequences and repercussions on the social and public perceptions of the Humanities.<\/p>\n
We therefore encourage proposals on (but not limited to) the following topics:<\/p>\n
The deadline for submitting proposals is November 15th (midnight). Notification of acceptance will be sent by December 15th.<\/p>\n

Then a panel of reviewers is recruited from AIUCD board members, program committee members, program session chairs, and other experienced participants attending the conference. During the course of the conference, one or more reviewers will unobtrusively attend and observe each candidate presentation and make recommendations to the Board. Winners will be selected by the Board at the end of the conference, and the results will then be communicated during the General Assembly.<\/p>\n
