The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) is organising a two day conference and workshop on occasion of the official launch of the Ranke.2 project, its teaching platform for Digital Source Criticism.
This two-day event will address both the theory and practice of digital hermeneutics:
Day 1 will have the format of a ‘traditional’ conference with sessions dedicated to the four key aspects of the concept of digital hermeneutics: source criticism, tool criticism, algorithmic criticism and interface criticism.
Keynote by Edward Ayers (University of Richmond): ‘The Historical Imagination in a Digital World’
Day 2 will consist of workshops where participants will discuss the challenges of introducing digital history training in the history curriculum and will demonstrate best practices in an interactive setting.
Keynote by Julia Noordegraaf (University of Amsterdam): ‘Digital Hermeneutics in Media Historiography: Researching Paul Verhoeven in the CLARIAH Media Suite’
