| Title | Call for Papers: Digital Collaboration with Language, Literature, and Culture |
| Body | Call for Papers: Special Session of the Kentucky Foreign Language Conference, April 20-22, 2006 in Lexington, KY The Wiki-World Web: Digital Collaboration Models in Language, Literature, and Culture. Deadline for submission of abstracts: 15 November 2005 As academic institutions digitize their collections, the result is a new digital (often multimedia) canon that is readily accessible and searchable by scholars. Increasingly, commentary accompanies these digital collections, or entire sites dedicated to commentary emerge. This session analyzes both the digital collections available to foreign language scholars and the process of collaboration that is behind the formation of such databases. The session seeks to provide a broad overview of a variety of these collections (text, image, audio, video) in order to critically analyze their efficacy in foreign language, literary, and cultural studies. Possible submissions could include: - Critical analysis of major collaborative sites in literary studies. (e.g. Wikipedia, Gutenberg) - Overview of how reception in contemporary literature is affected in the digital age. (Blogs, review sites, etc) - Survey of materials available in a variety of areas in cultural studies (e.g. Film studies) - Pedagogical applications of academic digital asset collections. (e.g. text based, audio, video, and image repositories) - Description of digital asset management projects in culture or literature. Papers will be 20 minutes in length, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Email proposals of no more than two pages in length to session organizer Michael Shaughnessy: mshaughnessy@washjeff.edu All scholars are invited to submit abstracts. All language sections may submit proposals for this open section. To encourage multi-language participation in this panel, papers are to be given in English. Acceptance of your paper for presentation implies a commitment on your part to register and attend the conference. All presenters and attendees must pay the appropriate registration fee by 15 FEBRUARY 2006 and fill out the A/V request form to ensure availability of any equipment necessary for their presentations.
