To Τμήμα Ιστορίας, Αρχαιολογίας και Κοινωνικής και το Εργαστήριο Κοινωνικής Ανθρωπολογίας διοργανώνουν από 31 Μαϊου έως 2 Ιουνίου 2019, στο Μουσείο Πλινθοκεραμοποιίας Ν. & Σ. Τσαλαπάτα το πρώτο ελληνικό confestival (conference + festival) για την Ψηφιακή Αφήγηση με τίτλο “Data-stories: New Media Aesthetics and Rhetorics for Critical Digital Ethnography”.
Το συνέδριο εξετάζει τους ριζικούς μετασχηματισμούς στον τρόπο που αφηγούμαστε ιστορίες στην εποχή των αλγορίθμων, των βάσεων δεδομένων, των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης και των συμμετοχικών πολιτισμών. Φιλοδοξεί να αναδείξει τι σημαίνουν οι αλλαγές αυτές για τον πολιτισμό μέσα από μια κριτική ανάλυση αυτού του φαινομένου. Θα παρουσιαστούν επίσης πρακτικές εφαρμογές ψηφιακής αφήγησης από τον σύγχρονο ακαδημαϊκό χώρο.
Ένα καινοτόμο συνέδριο, μια γιορτή για νέες ερευνήτριες/ ερευνητές από διάφορα επιστημονικά πεδία (ανθρωπολογία, σπουδές επικοινωνίας και νέων μέσων, πολιτισμικές σπουδές, λογοτεχνική κριτική, ιστορία, game studies, πειραματικών ψηφιακών επιστημών, κτλ.) που ταυτόχρονα απευθύνεται και προσκαλεί το ευρύ κοινό και τους πολίτες του Βόλου σε προβολές διαδραστικών ντοκιμαντέρ και συμμετοχή σε περιπάτους μέσα επικοινωνίας διεντοπισμού και serious παιχνίδια.
Το συνέδριο θα διεξαχθεί στα Αγγλικά. Για περισσότερα νέα και ανακοινώσεις εδώ.
