Workshop Sound Matters: an exploratory workshop into sound and the digital humanities
When: | Fr 26-08-2022 |
Where: | Leiden, Sterrewacht building, Sterrewachtlaan 11, C 005 |
We are delighted to announce a workshop on Friday 26th August, 10am-5 pm, to be held at the Sterrewacht building at Leiden University, Sterrewachtlaan 11, C 005.
The Digital Humanities are flourishing, but they are still largely focussed on textual and visual objects. These are objects of sight, but a significant portion of human life is experienced through sound – in our day to day communication, in the music that we listen to, in the soundscapes of urban and rural life.
- How can Digital Humanities help us to reconstruct phonic properties?
- How can the inclusion and embedding of phonic properties be properly represented for textual, visual and other kinds of content in our digital working methods and in our outputs?
- How can the Digital Humanities lead to new ways of incorporating phonic data in our research?
- How can the multimedia aspect of human experience, e.g. the combination of visual, auditory, and cognitively embodied experience, be properly understood and studied within the Digital Humanities?
