Title: Call for Papers: Digital Perspectives on the Classical World
Body: From http://apaclassics.org/index.php/apa_blog/apa_blog_entry/cfp_word_space_time_digital_perspectives_on_the_classical_world CFP: Word, Space, Time: Digital Perspectives on the Classical World An interdisciplinary conference organized by the Digital Classics Association University at Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo, NY 14261, USA April 5 - 6, 2013 Archaeological GIS, digital historical mapping, literary text mining, and other computational techniques are increasingly shaping how we understand classical antiquity. Digital methods are breaking down sub-disciplinary barriers, allowing literary scholars to more easily explore inscriptions, archaeologists to place their findings on digital historical maps, and philosophers to explore style and argument with sophisticated search techniques. Digital tools also offer new ways to explain aspects of classical antiquity in the classroom and to the public at large. The aim of the inaugural Digital Classics Association (DCA) conference is to provide a survey of current approaches to digital methods of research, teaching, and outreach across classical sub-disciplines, with the goals of further opening inter-disciplinary perspectives and establishing common objectives for digital research and education. Abstracts are invited from professional and independent scholars, graduate students, educators, and digital developers who engage with emerging digital methods in any area of classical antiquity. The abstract receipt deadline is December 14, 2012.
